In your opinion, how can affiliate programs help a cosmetics distributor increase sales?

You can either set up your own affiliate program, or talk to an existing affiliate network about getting your product in their offer lineup for their affiliates to promote.
Either way would get you some brand awareness and if done well, add to your sales I expect. Joining an existing network would be easiest, I think.

I understand that you have stated that you are a real distributor selling to other businesses.
Distributors warehouse and stock product --do you? Or are you just an agent for a manufacturer?
You're not looking for an affiliate, you're looking for salespeople with contacts.
I'd start hunting there rather than looking for an easy way on the internet because you're going to be very disappointed.

affiliate programs can be a powerful growth lever for cosmetics distributors—especially if they’re set up to reward both volume and content-driven traffic. the key is finding affiliates who know how to market beauty products in a way that feels authentic: think influencers, bloggers, and media buyers who can build trust through product reviews, tutorials, or before-and-after funnels.
that said, combining affiliate efforts with scalable paid traffic can really take things further. for example, if you have a strong affiliate program in place, ActiveRevenue can help drive additional high-intent users through CPC and CPM campaigns across push, native, or display ads—especially for direct-to-consumer offers in beauty.
happy to share more if you’re looking to test performance channels alongside your affiliate strategy.

Thanks — that’s a very useful perspective.At this point, we’ve already developed our own affiliate program with a functional dashboard and tracking system. However, we’re still refining our promotion strategy. The program is currently open to almost everyone, and we’re concerned that such broad availability could drive low-quality traffic or even affect the trust in our B2B platform.For this reason, we’re considering a more curated and selective approach, perhaps through targeted Facebook advertising. At the same time, we’re very interested in finding communities where respected bloggers or content creators are actively seeking affiliate programs to join, especially in the beauty or wholesale niches. It would be great to hear from you if you know of any platforms, networks, or groups where such creators gather.We’re also evaluating the possibility of integrating a third-party affiliate network alongside our internal program to help us scale while maintaining quality standards.Thanks again — we really value your opinion and we'd love to hear more.

we have a warehouse in seoul and also some products in stock but you are right that we are also a manufacturer's agent but we take care of logistics and customs procedures. You are saying that we need to go directly to small business owners and most likely the affiliate program will not work? yes?
maybe we would have been better off focusing on SEO or targeting our main site. but we decided to try an affiliate program there too, we'll see.
Thank you for your reply. Please provide more information.

Actually, an affiliate program can still work well even if you handle logistics and customs and mainly sell to small business owners. You can invite those small businesses or local influencers to become affiliates and promote your products to their own customers. This way, you reach more buyers without doing all the direct selling yourself.
