Apogee Live: ShareASale Awin Think Tank 2018 Recap
April 12, 2020Affiliate Management for Mature Programs
May 27, 2020Worldwide, our January resolutions didn't go so well this year. It's time to rethink our goals and start fresh. I propose that June 1, 2020, is the new January 1, which is typically a time to reevaluate health and wellness.
I'm not a motivational speaker, I'm a marketer who owns an affiliate management company. My team's job is to teach affiliates on how to make money online promoting products from our clients. I can't predict how the world is going to change or how this industry will evolve over the next few years. But I can tell you what we've seen recently and what we think is coming soon.
All of our clients maintained market share or grew exponentially since the pandemic hit the U.S. Our food, drink, home decor, crafts and parts clients have all grown. Some of them have exceeded Q4 statistics. Affiliates pushed April numbers beyond December gross sales. Isn't that incredible?
In this era of isolation and quarantine, people have found carbs and comfort food again as they've tried to keep themselves busy at home. It's time for a mental and physical reset. That whole “new year, new you” thing is about to start again.
For our Apogee Insiders, I'm proposing some specific products to promote and some ideas for unique content. You have the month of May to prepare and create. Go back to your January “get fit” content and repurpose it. Help motivate your audiences to get active and think healthy again.
