To make this mutually beneficial there are expectations on how Affiliates contribute. There are many ways to help, you don’t need to do everything, choose the tasks and activities that you feel most comfortable doing, the choice is yours. The level of effort you put into this is what you will get from the program. Affiliates will be given a unique promotion code and link to share and spread the word.

  • DISTRIBUTE MATERIALS

WHY TWO PROGRAMS?

What’s the difference between the Ambassador Program and the Affiliate Program?

  • An Ambassador becomes a Shangri-La Marathon expert, they will promote the event, run the race, volunteer, plus they can earn Ambassador perks and referral commissions.
  • An Affiliate can earn a commission for each referral. Intended for people who want to promote the event, but may not be able to attend or volunteer.

The responsibilities of each program are similar, but the outcome is different. Choose the program that is best suited to you and your needs.
