If that is the case then they can cut out certain programs and continue to make money with the existing team. The hotels are really hurting for business as I work in that industry. Bookings are done far in advance for many functions and business trips. We have been getting cancellations. Layoffs are another factor as well as bad investments causing people to go broke overnight. We are fortunate that our former owners sold the company and we are going to start a 25 million dollar renovation May 1, 09 We will become a Marriott Renaissance hotel. We are presently Wyndham Palm Springs Hotel The hotel is big, 410 rooms, meeting rooms ballrooms and we are attached to the Palm Springs Convention Center. This place was just packed for the film festival.

What you don't know is over two years ago the FDIC already knew dozens of banks were going to close. The problem is the FDIC has to go bank to bank with a legal team to do closings. Worse yet it's far from over. There are many more banks waiting to close. The banks took existing funds and sold assets then divided a lot of it up among top execs as you read. They either sold off the remaining business assets closed or went to the government for a handout. They sell off their assets before closing to make this happen which is why they are totally broke by closing. The the government has nothing to work with and the FDIC has to pay for the insured depositor accounts but the investment accounts like CD and others are gone. You won't hear that from the six o'clock news. Speaking my mind here so I'd like to say after what the banking industry has done to this country and the schemes they devised to pull in billions in fraudulent practices for rate hikes and late charges no one should ever again sell for these companies.

They only pay out when the affiliate makes them a sale, as opposed to other forms of marketing, where the company pays for the marketing whether or not it brings them any sales. So why would banks close down an affiliate program? Sounds like a poor management decision. I would have thought that companies’ affiliate programs would be one of their cheapest forms of marketing?

It seems though that sales and marketing would not be the place to cut. Don't affiliates bring these companies more customers? Wouldn't it make more sense for them to grow their affiliate programs rather than cut them, and cut another area that doesn't bring in money?

The companies need every sale, more than ever before. They should find a way to reward affiliates who bring in sales, not cut them off. There are two things you don't mess with even when times are bad, marketing and production (though this can be slowed). In order to have the latter you need the former. In order for the former to do its job, you need the latter. I totally agree with Marie Ramos. The companies need every sale, more than ever before.
