Whether you’re shopping for your home workplace or looking for supplies for your child’s first day of classes or projects, you’re sure to find what you need on officedepot.com.

Office Depot is a strong player in the retail affiliate world and can compete with Amazon because of the ample amount of products they offer. Office Depot is proud to offer a large selection of amazing products. Office Depot has everything you need for yourself, your office, and your home. The officedepot.com site itself is ranked #1 for the business consumer services category according to SimilarWeb.

Office Depot Affiliate Program

The Office Depot Affiliate Program is an excellent alternative for those looking to diversify their affiliate portfolio away from using only the Amazon Associates program and for those who would like a more niche affiliate program.

The affiliate program is a well-established program run through their network, CJ Affiliate, a cost-per-sale marketing network that allows vendors to make money off commissions.

Office Depot Affiliate Program offers many benefits besides commissions, free shipping on orders $50+, same-day deliveries, Free in-store pick up in 1 hour, and free delivery on all sale-priced Furniture & Seating.

Commission Rates and Cookie Windows

The commission percentage ranges from 5% for electronics and 6% for office accessories, which Amazon offers 4% in the office supplies category. Office Depot is diverse in its price points and categories, which means you will be able to earn a solid commission from customers you refer to your favorite products! However, it might be time to diversify with other affiliate programs that are more consistent and fit your needs.

Additionally, Office Depot has an advantage over Amazon and many other competing affiliate programs for these categories in its affiliate cookie window. Office Depot and Amazon allow a cookie window of 24 hours!

Office Depot + Geniuslink

While the CJ affiliate network dashboard is a user-friendly platform for assembling affiliate links, it still can be a bit cumbersome of a process to create an affiliated product link for Office Depot. With our newly added support, any raw product link direct from officedepot.com can be affiliated quickly using our Geniuslink dashboard. A simple link from officedepot.com is all you need to pass clicks along to their destination with your affiliate parameters included.

We call this process “Auto-affiliation,” and it’s speedy to set up. All you need to do is grab your Partner ID from the CJ dashboard and drop it into the Affiliate page of the Geniuslink dashboard under ‘Office Depot US (CJ Affiliate).’ Once we have that seven-digit number, any geni.us links you build for Office Depot products will automatically have your affiliate parameters appended!

Please note that our VigLink and Skimlinks support rollout also enables you to monetize Office Depot links through either of these monetization platforms. There are multiple benefits of using Sovrn/Commerce (formerly Viglink) or Skimlinks, but signing up directly through CJ Affiliate Network and adding your Partner ID into Geniuslink allows you to keep 100% of your commissions earned from the program (vs. the ~ 75% that is paid out when using an affiliate aggregator).

Let’s go through a few tricks to make you a Geniuslink pro before you even start. With Geniuslink and the Office Depot Affiliate Program, you can diversify your affiliate revenues by supplementing your Amazon affiliate links with these few steps.

Choice Pages

Curation and Choice are suitable for the consumer and, ultimately, you! Choice Pages enable you to promote a single product across multiple storefronts, and our new suggestions feature makes it easier than ever to build them! Providing options to your customers will improve their shopping experience, and you will monetize the sale no matter which storefront you choose. You can find more info on how to set up a Choice Page in our Knowledge Base.

You can see an example here — https://geni.us/hpPrinter

 

With a Choice Page, you can promote Amazon and Office Depot affiliate links side by side in a clean, intuitive way and diversify your affiliate revenue – which from our research helps increase your affiliate earnings! Additionally, to help make creating a choice page even more simple, our new suggestions feature allows you to easily find products across multiple storefronts, including Office Depot!

A/B Split Links

The Amazon.com Associates program is often a mainstay way to earn commissions from US-based clicks. However, we’d encourage you to run an experiment if it’s a good option for your audience and recommended products. The A/B Split Test links provide a platform to track between two or more affiliate programs closely.

 

If you wanted to evaluate replacing your Amazon affiliate links with another affiliate program, you could use A/B Split test link. The test link allows you to compare the performance of Amazon’s Affiliate Program to the Office Depot Affiliate Program.

Conclusion

With the addition of the Office Depot Affiliate Program, we have now increased our total affiliate program support to over 30 different affiliate programs! Additionally, with the recent launch of our suggestions feature (which will automatically offer you suggested links to Office Depot products), we’re more fired up than ever to add additional affiliate programs to our roster, so stay tuned in the coming months as even more great programs are added in!
