Cyber Monday Year Comparisons

Wanted to give you all an idea of how things went for Affiliates and Merchants on ShareASale this past week on Cyber Monday.

Here are some highlights:

• Overall, Black Friday was nearly a 100% jump from last year (measured on overall Gross Sales)
• About 35% more Affiliates participated – which is great – but also shows that a lot of growth was from existing Affiliates – which is also great.  :)  (Congratulations!)
• Both Black Friday and Cyber Monday saw huge jumps compared to the growth between 2007 and 2008.
• There was approximately a 50% increase in usage of the Black Friday/Cyber Monday Deals Database
• Cyber Monday saw 95% increased transaction activity compared to last year.

Congratulations to all the Merchants and Affiliates who put in the time and preparation towards these special shopping days – it paid off.  !! :)

Remember that every Monday until the 25th, historically, lends even better results … so keep those sites running and those carts converting.  :)
