How to organize multiple brand partnerships
Reviewed by the usecode.sh team on
Three simultaneous deals is where memory stops being a system. The minimum viable operations layer is two artifacts: a deal sheet recording terms, rates, deliverables, expiries, and payment status per brand, and one public page where every live code actually lives. Everything else, calendars, reminders, reports, hangs off those two.
The deal sheet
One row per deal: brand, contact, code, commission type (cash per redemption, link commission, flat fee, or credit, classified per affiliate vs referral), rate, start, expiry, deliverables promised, deliverables shipped, payment expected, payment received, and the disclosure line you use for that brand. The promo-code tracker template is this sheet, ready to copy.
- Fill it the day the deal closes, not the day something goes wrong.
- Review weekly: what expires within 14 days, what shipped versus promised, who has not paid.
- Deliverable drift is the silent killer of renewals; the shipped column exists so you renegotiate from facts.
The public layer
- Every live code gets a card; every card carries its expiry so ended deals pause themselves.
- Order cards by current push; the page order is your own priority list made visible.
- Per-card numbers become per-brand performance without any extra bookkeeping, feeding both brand reports and your next pitch.
What not to build
You do not need a CRM, project-management software, or automation at five deals; you need the two artifacts maintained honestly. Graduate to heavier tooling when the weekly review stops fitting in fifteen minutes, and not before.
