Commission Structures for New Brands
New brands often need to offer higher commissions to attract quality creators. Consider these strategies:
- Higher Percentage Rates: Offer 20-30% commission to compensate for lower brand recognition
- Tiered Commissions: Increase rates based on sales volume (e.g., 20% for first $1,000, 25% beyond)
- Performance Bonuses: Add bonuses for hitting specific milestones
