What are the best Merchants to promote in 2005?

**Bubb1es** · 19-12-04

Does anyone know which are the best products and services to promote for the new year?

I hear loans are popular, are there any others?

The New Year is always a good time for the "resolution" type programs, so get flogging those nicotine patches, diet club memberships, gym equipment, debt consolodation loans, holidays, house-selling, job-seeking and anything else remotely life-changing!

Finance , maybe a little finance and then if you have some spare moments put some finance pages up .

January sales for most retail merchants will be big as well

Some Major betting events around boxing day for football and Horse racing - King George on boxing day being the highlight.

I think January is going to be bigger than the Christmas run up this year as shoppers are in tune more with using the web now and lots of Christmas dosh is going to be spent just after on books and cds/dvds

So - credit cards - loans - brand name retail and some gambling

And as John said anything resolution based

Hope this helps

Travel is huge throughout January both on the High Street and even more so through the web. The sales jump up massively straight after Xmas so even if you haven't promoted travel in the past it would be a good bet.

The Thomson / TUI affiliate programs are on CJ so sign up now ahead of January.

Thanks

We have our biggest months in Jan and Feb. Especially with gas and electricity switching.

The idea is that
a. people have high fuel bills in the winter
b. people have spent all their money at christmas and we help them save on bills

we've got programs set up with CJ and Affiliate window if you want to give switching a push.

We are expecting an enormous volume of sales for January, especially in Real Tones, Fun Sounds and Java Games for mobiles.

A lot of new phone customers will be looking for the latest ringtones and features.

I expect conversion rates to rise to 15% from current 10%. We will still be offering a minimum of £2.75 for every sale.
