How to Request an Agency Quote as a Partner

Overview

This feature is not available in all solutions. For more information, contact your supplier point of contact.

Agencies provide marketing services for partners. These services are available in two formats:

  • Open-ended, where the the partner makes a specific request and the agency provides a quote for the services requested. In this instance, there is discussion between the partner and agency as to the services provided and the cost of services.
  • Flat fee, where the agency has a specific service they are offering for a specific price.

In response to partner requests for services, the agency will provide a detailed quote about what services are being provided and associated costs, the date of quote expiration, and the date of project completion. A quote might pass between the partner and the agency several times with various statuses until the final order is agreed on. The partner will receive notification when the agency submits a quote. The notification includes agency name, agency rep, quote details, links to the quote, campaign name, campaign link, activity name, and activity link.

To place an order requesting a quote using Zift123, you will use our Browse Campaign feature. This view provides detailed information about each campaign including a brief description, contents, target audience, results, and tags. If you select a campaign, you will see additional details about the campaign as well as where you can activate the campaign.
