Christmas Cards and Christmas Landing Pages

When you don't know what to promote at Christmas, because you may not know what this year's latest next big thing is going to be, you can always stick with the one thing that sells in the millions every year.

That's right, Christmas Cards or Holiday Cards if you prefer, or even Hannukah Cards are always a big seller at this time of year.

Minted.com are running a great incentive. The first 10 Minted partners to reach $5,000 in sales in November and December will receive a $250 bonus.
Minted also like to reward early shoppers with the most attractive discounts of the season. Right now, you can offer Free Shipping on Holiday Cards with code AFSHIP09.

The Currys Christmas landing page is now live here. Currys always do well over Christmas, and so can you.

Dixons alos have a new landing page; this one is for Christmas TV offers. You can see it here - so let's start selling those TV's in time for people to watch the Christmas films in HD and on widescreen.

Christmas has Started

The nights are getting darker, the temperature's dropped and daylight is becoming scarce; unless you're in the Southern hemisphere of in which the opposite applies. It can only mean one thing - Christmas is here and we all know what that means. People shop, and with it being cold and dark outsided, more of them shop online.

Merchants are of course well aware of the Christmas Shopping rush; many depend on it for their profits. For affiliates of course this means a wealth of opportunites, some intended for custiomers, which aid sales, and some aimed at affiliates to increase marketing efforts.
