Project overview

Supercheap Auto is not just your average auto parts and accessories store. It’s a one-stop-shop for all your automotive needs, offering an impressive range of products to suit every budget and vehicle. Whether you’re in search of spare parts, performance upgrades, car care essentials, or even tools and equipment to tackle DIY projects, Supercheap Auto has it all.

One thing that sets Supercheap Auto apart from its competitors is their commitment to quality. They carefully select their suppliers to ensure that customers are getting top-notch products that meet industry standards. Plus, with their own exclusive brands like SCA Performance Series and Calibre Power Tools, you can trust that you’re getting reliable options at affordable prices.

Challenge

The client wanted a platform that felt easy, trustworthy, and organized. Most existing course marketplaces look cluttered and overwhelming, so we needed to design an experience where:

  • Limited reach: Supercheap Auto struggled to expand beyond its existing audience, making it difficult to attract new customers and grow its market presence.
  • Increasing competition: The automotive retail industry witnessed intense competition, making it crucial for Supercheap Auto to differentiate itself and stand out.
  • Low brand awreness: Reaching new customer segments and increasing overall visibility remained a key hurdle in unlocking further growth.
Outcome
  • Affiliate marketing partnership: Built a structured affiliate marketing partnership to help Supercheap Auto strengthen its partner ecosystem, improve channel efficiency, and unlock more scalable performance through trusted publisher relationships.
  • Publisher sourcing and activation: Identified, onboarded, and activated relevant affiliate partners across key publisher types to expand reach, improve traffic quality, and create stronger commercial opportunities across the channel.
  • Affiliate network expansion: Broadened the affiliate mix beyond a narrow partner base by introducing new publisher opportunities, improving partner diversity, and creating a stronger foundation for sustainable channel growth.
  • Performance-based incentives: Designed incentive structures aligned with performance goals to encourage stronger publisher participation, improve partner motivation, and drive higher-quality conversions through the affiliate channel.
Results

The affiliate marketing partnership helped Supercheap Auto build a stronger and more diversified publisher base, creating a healthier foundation for long-term channel growth. By improving partner alignment and expanding the affiliate mix, the program was able to attract more relevant traffic and contribute more meaningfully to performance. The engagement also improved conversion efficiency through better publisher activation and performance-led incentive structures, while making the overall affiliate channel more scalable, commercially aligned, and better positioned for sustained growth.

A slightly more premium version:

Through the affiliate marketing partnership, Supercheap Auto strengthened its publisher ecosystem, improved traffic quality, and built a more scalable affiliate channel. The program benefited from a broader and more effective partner mix, better-aligned publisher activity, and a stronger performance structure designed to drive commercially relevant outcomes. As a result, the affiliate channel became more efficient, more reliable, and better positioned to support long-term growth.
