As always during the competition break in BusinessLeague, we gathered at Hidden – The Social Space.

Marketers, Merchants, and special guests joined for a relaxed April evening featuring platform updates, debates, fun quizzes, and the most important kind of networking: face-to-face.

Never Have I Ever

We kicked off the evening with a game: “Never Have I Ever.” Participants answered live to questions inspired by the wild ride of being a BusinessLeague player. Here are a few examples:

• Never have I ever… Googled my own products just to see what campaigns affiliates are running, and ended up driving up my own ad costs.
• Never have I ever… checked the commissions menu more often than Facebook notifications.
• Never have I ever… had a drink the morning after Black Friday (whether out of joy or not).
• Never have I ever… considered ditching e-commerce for farming or beekeeping, because life’s too short.
• Never have I ever… said “I’ll just set an ads budget and figure it out,” only to end up back with affiliate marketing after 3 months of burning money.

There was plenty of laughter.

The “Welcome, Good People!” Presentation

Delivered by the dynamic duo Tiberiu Anghelina and Bogdan Marcu – the Năstase and Țiriac of BusinessLeague. When they enter the arena, people pay attention. Then again, Tibi speaks loudly, so there’s no choice. Highlights from their session:

• Recently, players voted on their favorite competition categories. Fashion came in first, followed by Books. Players in these categories received a 15% and 5% bonus, respectively.
• In April, first-time campaigners get zero network fees all month (or for the first 200 sales), free setup, and a €250 top-up bonus when loading at least €250 of their own funds.
• On April 14th, we’ll delete outdated traffic source info, so all Marketers should make the changes we’ve been talking about.
• Affiliate Managers – the program is underway and already showing results.
• 108 new stores joined BusinessLeague since the start of the year…
• …with 57 joining in March alone.
• Exciting things are coming to the platform – they were teased at BL Residence, and we’ll go into full detail soon.
