On September 9, 2007, CJ kicked off another stellar CJU conference in Santa Barbara, CA. Having been to and spoken at numerous Internet Marketing conferences, CJU is always among the best. As is the case at most conferences, the presentations tend to be pretty basic but you always pick up a nugget here and there. The real learning & networking happens in the bar, at the networking events, and at other random places & activities.
CJ has a coupon feed in addition to the merchant catalog feeds that might come in handy. I don’t have a coupon site but knowing that such a feed is available, provides a bit more incentive to work on one.
It was great to meet affiliate managers from companies I’ve worked with for a while that I’d never met before, reps from CJ in various departments from technical services to client and account managers as well as lots of new people from companies ranging from HSBC, Chase Bank, to Fox Interactive and 1and1 Web Hosting. At an affiliate conference you tend to meet people who know how to get things done, to generate sales & leads; lots of them. There were plenty of top performers there with loads of different business models. Of course any conference has a schedule of presentations & some of the highlights are below.
While out there, we had some great times, great food at the CJ events and the local restaraunts, took a spin on some Segway i2’s from Segway Santa Barbara, had a few drinks, made lots of connections and came back a little exhausted but full of new ideas and contacts.
