At its simplest partnership marketing is the deliberate linking of two or more well-established brands to establish a joint return that would be greater than if the brands merely operated in isolation. Although widespread in practice with tie-ups in most consumer markets it is in retailing, and particularly financial services, that partnership marketing has been making major inroads albeit at varying rates of progress.

Additional Information:
Partnership Marketing is seen as a ‘smart’ marketing investment; In collaborative brand relationships, costs are reduced, new channels to the consumer are opened to either party, and complementary brands can realise an impact and response from the consumer that neither could achieve stand-alone.

The cost:advantage ratio of successful partnership marketing is compelling, to the extent that major industries regard it as a strategic imperative. In today’s highly competitive consumer marketplace, there is not only a constant cost pressure, but also a burning desire by businesses to reach the consumer through channels where they do not have a fight to be heard. Partnership marketing delivers these otherwise unavailable, uncluttered, private channels.
