Commission Junction's CJ Search Service Exceeds Clients' Performance Goals

Bealls Department Store and Brooks Brothers Leverage Commission Junction's Search Expertise

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. May 25, 2004 Commission Junction, a provider of advanced online performance-based marketing solutions and a ValueClick, Inc. (Nasdaq: VCLK) company, announced that Bealls Department Store and Brooks Brothers have exceeded their initial sales goals since signing on with Commission Junction's CJ Search. The CJ Search solution is a managed search service that combines Commission Junction's expertise in maximizing the return on investment for online marketing campaigns with the search experience of one of the largest online publisher networks. Since joining the CJ Search service, both Bealls Department Store and Brooks Brothers have benefited from the comprehensive solution and increased their budgets for search marketing with Commission Junction.
Bealls Department Store signed on with CJ Search in Q1 2004 because of the ease of using a single-source managed service, the ability to run a mix of search programs, and to take advantage of the option of expanding into affiliate marketing with Commission Junction.

Business Home Internet "We were doing search in-house, but recognized early on that we could benefit from Commission Junction's knowledge and expertise by using its CJ Search solution," said Laura Snow, senior eCommerce assistant at Bealls Department Stores. "Because we started with a limited marketing budget, we began with search, but with the success and the lessons learned from our search efforts, we look forward to expanding our relationship with Commission Junction."

Make it a Success with your Involvement. In Internet Marketing, business websites seek the help of affiliates who can promote the products, make the sales happen and get paid commissions for this effort. This can be done in many ways such as having a link in your own website, promoting the business site to search engines, advertising the site in traffic exchanges to direct the targeted audience to see the business site and so on. In this manner affiliate marketing can get you rewards based on your performance.
