Tip of the Day: Black Friday and Cyber Monday Resources

November 23, 2016 by ShareASale Author

Black Friday and Cyber Monday are less than a week away! Don’t panic, we have great resources for Merchants and Affiliates both to look at for the tips they will need to have success on the two busiest shopping days of the year.

First let’s start with the Affiliates!

Make sure you check out the Black Friday/Cyber Monday Coupons and Deals database located under ‘Links’ in your ShareASale homepage. This page has a collection of specials deals that the Merchants in the ShareASale network will be running these days. You will be able to get the links for them as you would with any normal coupon or deal.

We have also prepared a blog series full of resources on how to use the tools we provide to their maximum capabilities to assist you in finding success this weekend (and Monday)! Other topics include how to promote your Merchants and tips for building great content.

There is no time to waste in Q4. The absolute fastest way to grab an affiliate link, including ones that are deep-linked to a product page, is through the Bookmarklet. Not sure what this is?

As soon as Thanksgiving hits, many of us enter into a holiday-induced frenzy that only gets worse as we creep closer to the end of December. Website traffic across the board and time-spent-on-page tends to dwindle.

So you’ve come up with your content development schedule and armed yourself with ShareASale Tools. Now it’s time to shout from the rooftops! A considerable amount of time and energy goes into promoting your content once you have created it.

Merchants, I haven’t forgotten you! This is a big day for you as well! Let’s talk about some quick review steps you can do to get ready before Friday.

1. Think about setting up Auto-Deposit – This is a great way to ensure your program stays online through all the numerous sales that will be coming in from Affiliate promotion due to Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

2. Avoid Major Website Changes – You don’t want to have to run the risk of anything breaking down on you during this time.

There are so many more reasons that we have compiled them in a blog series similar to the Affiliates above, please have a look for tips you need to need to know for the coming weekend.
