Are You Watching The Calendar?

7 replies
It's now September. Do you know what the means?

- Halloween sales are about to explode. Are you getting ready?

- Black Friday and the kickoff to the major shopping season is less than 3 months away. Are you getting ready?

Forget the economy.
Forget ClickBank.
Forget Paypal issues.
Forget IM launches.
Forget the extraneous issues.

It's time to focus. There is about to be a ton of money exchanging hands. A ton of products being sold.

Time to get in front of the wave and make money this year.

- Get serious about your SEO.

- Be prepared for PPC costs to go even higher.

- Create a list. Get back in touch with your list.

- Review industry magazines for new products coming out for the holidays. Tip: industry websites, associations, and magazines are where you find the next hot product before it reaches the public and your competition.

- Take advantage of deals. This is the 4th year of economic trouble in the US and people need deals, coupons, etc. Searches will be massive.

- Pay attention to which merchants are dropping their affiliate commissions and which are increasing their commissions. It is happening now as some merchants are looking to cut costs, but others are hoping to expand their sales and customer list.

- Been dropped from Amazon? Can't figure out how to get back in? Have you considered a partnership with another Warrior to make use of their address? Time to be creative and proactive.


What are you doing to get ready?

    Good reminder post..

    The holiday season is vital if you are in ecommerce like we are. We do nearly 50% of our ANNUAL sales during the final 6 weeks of the calendar year. It's truly insane!!!

    This also means hunting season for those of us who enjoy the freshest meat available (no offense to the vegetarians and anti-hunters).

      My wife is a vegetarian. No reason to apologize - unless it is for missing a massively growing niche. I can personally tell you more and more stores, and more and more products are targeting this niche.

      Another tip: Vegetarian Thanksgiving meals. Christmas meals. Recipes. Etc. Gonna be hot this year.

      A big secret tip: It's not just food where a growing number of shoppers are looking for merchandise without animal product.

      Are you preparing?

    Oh don't remind me! lol

    Really though, it is good to be reminded of what's coming up. It pays to know they trends & work 'em rather than look at them in hindsight & regret not taking advantage of them.
