About us

Founded by three cycling enthusiasts, Transition Vélo was launched to meet a need for content on everyday cycling, alongside the many existing media on road or performance cycling, with the aim of becoming a benchmark medium on the subject.

Affiliation was an obvious choice for several reasons:

  • Editorial freedom: Unlike advertising, affiliation offers greater freedom of tone for advertisers.
  • User experience: Transition Vélo wanted to offer a clean site without excessive intrusive advertising, while still providing premium space (fixed banner) for advertisers.
  • Revenue model: Affiliation allows you to diversify your revenue sources and not be solely dependent on advertising.

Preferred features

Transition Vélo built its site around affiliation, integrating Affilizz technology in depth. This was easily achieved in 2 days of development for their technical manager.

This allowed us to concentrate on the creation of the media, knowing that the whole affiliation side was managed thanks to the turnkey solution offered by Affilizz, as well as the vast catalog of offers, which is regularly being expanded. What's more, the Transition Vélo team benefited from personalized support to meet their specific needs.

Tips and best practices

Affiliz is a simple, no-risk solution for launching a media outlet based on affiliation. However, you need a solid content strategy, because affiliation alone is not enough. Quality content is essential to gain the trust of readers.
