The Under Armour Affiliate Program: Everything You Need To Know
Table Of Contents
Brief Overview
Under Armour is one of the biggest companies in the world when it comes to clothing & accessories.
This is witnessed by the dominance of its products in most parts of the world i.e. their products are found in most major shopping malls.
Thus, this company is worth promoting as an affiliate – since their products are proven to have a huge fan base of loyal customers.
In this article, l will quickly share with you the key components of it's affiliate program i.e. commission structure, cookies, etc.
Not only that, but l will also share with you how you can promote their products as an affiliate – so that you can make some income whilst promoting this brand.
Thus, read till the very end if you're interested in this topic.
Commission Structure
On average, Under Armour pays a 5% commission rate for most products.
This means that you'll earn 5 bucks for every $100 worth of items that are purchased through your affiliate links.
Now, l have to admit that this commission rate isn't attractive at all – especially if you're someone like me who's used to promoting softwares & digital products – which pays anywhere between 20 to 50%.
But if you have an existing audience that's interested in Under Armour products, then you can just recommend these products to them via your YouTube description – hence, allowing you to earn some few extra bucks.
But just keep in mind that, it's difficult to earn big bucks promoting these type of products – unless if you're selling huge volumes.
Cookie Period
Under Armour offers a 30 day cookie period to their affiliates.
This means that, you can still get credited for sales that are made through your affiliate links – as long as the customer comes back and buy the items within that 30 day cookie period.
In my opinion, this cookie period is a bit fair – since some companies like Amazon & eBay only offers a 24 hour cookie period.
Thus, if someone clicks your affiliate links today but then decides to make the final purchase 3 weeks from now, that sale will still be credited under your affiliate id.
How To Become An Affiliate For Under Armour
The Under Armour affiliate program is run through a network called Awin.
This means that, you have to visit this network, search for Under Armour – then apply – or you can just search for ‘Under Armour affiliate program’ on Google.
Once you're on the platform, you'll be required to fill-out an application form – so as to provide your details to this company.
Once you submit your application, the affiliate management team will go through it – so as to check if you're the right fit for it or not.
And in just a matter of few days, you'll receive some feedback via email – notifying you about your approval status.
I have to admit that, most people who applies for this affiliate program gets rejected due to a number of reasons.
As we all know, Under Armour is a big company – thus, they try by all means to protect their reputation.
And one of the ways is through weeding out all unworthy affiliates/brand ambassadors – as these might end up ruining the reputation of their company.
Thus, it's important to provide as much details as possible – so as to prove that you're an authentic person who's capable of promoting their products.
It's also important to have a legit website that has some bit of content – so as to prove that you have a platform to promote their products.
And if you don't know how to create a website on your own, then don't worry because l have a full article that teaches you how to create your own website without any coding skills.
Thus, you can read that post if you want to setup your own website ASAP!
How To Promote Under Armour Products
Assuming that you've been accepted into their affiliate program, how can you drive traffic to your affiliate links?
There are various techniques that can be used to get traffic and sales as an affiliate for this company.
I was about to mention about paid advertising – but then, l realised that their commission rates are too low – thus, you might struggle to make profits if you focus on buying clicks.
So the best way to promote their products is through organic strategies – through blogging, YouTube, or even social media.
If you have some social media followers who're interested in fitness gear, sporting equipment, shoes, or any other product that's produced by Under Armour, then you can recommend those products to them.
Let's say that you have a decent following on Instagram, you can gather all your favourite Under Armour products – then you host their tracking links through a single link tree.
This helps to promote more products at once – rather than trying to promote individual products separately.
If you have a sporting blog, you can review the different Under Armour products – then place your affiliate links inside your content.
Alternatively, you can do product comparisons – because people are also concerned in knowing which products are the best option for a particular use i.e. before they commit their hard earned monies.
Thus, it's also a great strategy if you want to get some free organic traffic.
Lastly, YouTube also works great i.e. you can mention your favourite Under Armour products in your videos (or even wear them) – then you recommend your viewers to checkout for those products i.e. through your links.
I’m sure you've seen some Amazon links placed inside the description section of most YouTube videos.
That's the same concept here!
Wrapping Up
That's sums up all the information regarding the Under Armour affiliate program.
Although this company pays a small commission rate, it's still a great affiliate program for someone who has a following that's interested in this company's products.
