Affiliates Take Note – Holiday Shopping Starts Now!
Posted by AC Editorial Team in Affiliate Marketing, Niches Tuesday, 31 October 2006 17:30 2 Comments
As part of my Affiliate Marketing business, I set up a gift shop to try to catch some of that Holiday traffic. It was easy to do using Golden Can’s one line of code option.
If you want to get a site up in a hurry, Golden Can is the way to go.
The second part of having a web site is, of course, marketing it!
I have been slowly posting ads. But I’ve been anxiously waiting for the day after Thanksgiving. In the past, this was known as the day that shoppers started doing their major holiday shopping.
However, according to a survey done by the National Retail Federation (NRF), it looks like I’m already behind this year!
Their survey shows the percentage of people shopping during the last four months of the year are as follows:
- Before September 14.0%
- September 6.5%
- October 19.9%
- November 37.0%
- December 18.8%
- Last two weeks of December 3.8%
Looks like I better get busy! I’ve already missed out on the October 19.9% – I don’t want to miss the 37% in November – and neither do you!

I’ve been working at the Affiliate Classroom virtual booth at eComXpo this week and I have to say that this is an amazing new way to have a trade show. It’s unlike anything I’ve every seen before! If you haven’t been there yet, GO! Today (Thursday) is the last day – it ends at 8:00 pm Eastern Standard Time.
Stop in to the Affiliate Classroom “booth” and visit me, if you have any questions, I’ll be there to answer them for you.
Linda Woods from PartnerCentric did an interesting presentation on Wednesday. She stated that: “As the affiliate marketing industry has matured, a large number of affiliates have become so adept at marketing that they are now larger than the brands they promote.”
WOW! Do you know how much power that gives affiliates! Affiliates now have more power over what programs they can promote, and soon, will have a bigger say in the commission percentage they will accept for promoting a company.
It looks like it’s only going to get better for Affiliate Marketers!
