Reallocating investment across a large retail partner roster

The problem

The program had hundreds of active partners and thousands of links, but no consistent way to distinguish revenue drivers, traffic drivers, publishers, and test partners.

What I changed

I rebuilt the portfolio around conversion, order value, repeat performance, and fixed-fee risk. Proven sellers received more upfront support, while test and lower-performing partners remained active on commission.

What happened

Nearly 8,000 orders and more than 500,000 clicks came through the revised model.
