Why Joint Venture Partners Aren’t Promoting You

By Nina Kaufman, Esq.

You spend months creating a product, designing a website, and having copy written and tested. You spend countless hours schmoozing joint venture partners. Then your launch day comes, you “push the button” and…

The silence from lack of orders is deafening.

Welcome to the persnickety world of joint ventures — in this context, more accurately referred to as “joint marketing.”  As Willie Crawford, the post’s author, points out, there are a number of reasons that your promotion partners may have pulled the plug on your product (sorry, couldn’t resist the alliteration).  Perhaps:

  • Your JV partners promised to promote too many products
  • Your sign-up process is too convoluted
  • You don’t provide the right tools
  • Your timing is less-than-ideal
