Affiliate Summit Airs Commercial to Expand Attendance

It's not often (ever?) you see an industry conference run a commercial on television to promote attendance but that's exactly what Affiliate Summit is doing to promote it's summer conference in New York August 15-17.

Conference Co-Founder Shawn Collins says, "The commercial touches on the uncertainties in the economy, and how folks can control their destiny by working in affiliate marketing and becoming their own boss."

Yes, it's as cheesy as you would think a commercial about an ad conference would be but Affiliate Summit has grown from 200 attendees in 2003 to 4,125 in 2010 so they must be doing something right.
