Affiliates

The World Series is a wild time for sports apparel retailers. No matter who wins, either Indians or Cubs fans are going to go nuts buying World Series apparel, so don’t miss out on the opportunity to earn commissions on the flood of sales that will be coming through as you cover the world series on your website. A great merchant to look at on our network for World Series gear is Fanatics, who are already gearing up for the final game.

To capture this momentum and earn more commissions, look for new targeted ads from your merchants, and install dynamic ads on your site so they can be quickly updated without editing any code. Also be on the lookout for emails from your merchants that might have valuable pointers, and html for targeted holiday ads.

Merchants

Just like affiliates, merchants benefiting from the World Series sales should stay on top of ad campaigns. Have your ads ready to go for so they will be updated quickly on all your affiliates’ sites when the winner is determined. Also, don’t be shy about pushing out emails to your affiliates about your strategy, and include the html for your dynamic ad.

This same strategy goes for holiday shoppers. Any time there is a “moment” to be had, you want your ads and affiliates pointing your customers in the right direction.
