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.

I will try to post as many as possible in next few weeks but here are a few that have already started.

Argos

The big news on the Argos Affiliate program this week is the launch of their Christmas competition. Argos have two fantastic competitions this Christmas including a chance to win a £1500 holiday and a weekly opportunity to win double commissions. The affiliate that shows the biggest growth in sales in November and December (compared to September and October) will win a £1500 holiday for themselves or someone in their office.

To help drive those revenues and to improve your chances of winning the competition Argos have their usual plethora of fantastic offers at argos.co.uk. These include our 7 day deals offering lots of price cuts including 25% off selected top toy brands.
