NETexponent Selected to Optimize and Grow Total Gym Direct's Affiliate Marketing Program

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 14, 2009 -- Total Gym Direct, the popular home gym system that made its start on TV infomercials, has partnered with NETexponent to manage and grow its affiliate marketing program. NETexponent, a leading online performance marketing agency based in New York, was originally chosen to provide a comprehensive assessment of Total Gym's current affiliate program. This $999 service is designed to provide advertisers with a thorough review of their affiliate program in the areas of recruitment, affiliate mix, competitive analysis, creative, and much more. After presentation of the project's findings, Total Gym was impressed and agreed with the agency's conclusions. Total Gym decided to move forward with NETexponent's recommendations and outsource its affiliate program management services.

NETexponent will manage Total Gym's existing affiliate programs set up with pepperjamNETWORK and Commission Junction. The focus will be on three fronts - revenue growth, order quality, and efficiency. The agency will look to increase revenue by leveraging its extensive connections with hundreds of top-performing affiliate websites while lowering technology costs and personnel expenses. NETexponent will further broaden the company's reach by targeting key areas such as coupon sites, loyalty sites, and vertical sites. The agency's comprehensive quality assurance services will police fraudulent activity, reducing unnecessary costs and protecting brand integrity.

"The results of NETexponent's in-depth evaluation convinced us we had an unrealized opportunity for growth," said Joe Crowley, VP Marketing at Total Gym Direct. "Because of NETexponent's proven track record in producing solid gains, we believe the partnership will further expand and strengthen our affiliate marketing efforts without compromising our brand integrity."

Total Gym Direct's home gym, with celebrity endorsements by Chuck Norris and Christie Brinkley, is found in over 3 million homes. With the help of NETexponent's expertise and focused strategy, they will receive a customized performance solution unique to their specific needs. The agency will also offer detailed data analysis and shared learning.

"We are excited to work with such a great product and recognizable brand" said Peter Figueredo, co-founder and CEO of NETexponent. "We have already successfully completed a major optimization effort as per the recommendation and will now hone in on recruiting top affiliate partners into their program."
