Launch Your Affiliate Program in 2026: Why Affiliate Marketing Remains the Highest-ROAS Channel for B2B & DTC Brands

As we head into 2026, ecommerce brands are facing more competition, rising ad costs, and stricter privacy rules that make paid media platforms harder to scale. The good news? Affiliate marketing continues to be the highest-ROAS channel online — and Ecomko is Impact-Certified and fully equipped to launch, scale, and manage high-performance affiliate programs for both B2B and DTC brands.

If you’re looking to expand your revenue, increase visibility, and build predictable sales pipelines this year, now is the time to launch your affiliate program.

Why Affiliate Marketing Outperforms Every Other Channel

For more than two decades, affiliates have consistently outpaced traditional acquisition channels — and the numbers speak for themselves.

⭐ Industry-Leading Affiliate Metrics

  • Average ROAS: 8:1 to 12:1

  • Top-Performing Programs: 20:1+ ROAS with strong partner placements

  • Average CPA/CPL Reduction: 25–60% lower than Meta, TikTok, or Google Ads

  • Affiliate-Driven Revenue: Up to 30% of total ecommerce revenue for mature programs

  • Consumer Trust: 92% of consumers trust recommendations from affiliates and creators more than brand ads

  • Predictable Growth: Affiliate is one of the few channels that improves in efficiency the larger it scales

Affiliate is not just profitable — it is the most economically efficient channel in the digital ecosystem.
