The holiday season is just around the corner, and if you're a creator or Amazon affiliate, it’s not just about festive content—it’s about seizing the opportunity to stand out, connect with your audience and boost commissions.

Influencers are channeling the holiday spirit early! Nearly one-third (32%) of consumers surveyed by Gartner planned to begin their holiday shopping between July and October—with another 16% shopping for gifts year-round. And among respondents to a Bankrate survey, 12% began their holiday shopping before the end of August, 13% planned to start in September, and 24% in October.

A publisher or blogger is the typical affiliate, who agrees to place on their website a text link or ad unit to receive a commission on any sales. Influencers are often relied on for top-of-funnel brand awareness as well as sales and want to be paid an up-front "fee-per-post". Retailers on the other hand like to pay on a performance basis and affiliate marketing platforms and technologies are a great way to measure influencer results. Without affiliate marketing, measuring the effectiveness of influencer campaigns can be difficult but you specifically need app-to-app linking to measure influencer sales driven from social media.

As we approach Amazon Prime Big Deal Days (a.k.a. October Prime Day), which kicks off the holiday shopping season, retailers and brands are gearing up for early shoppers. The event is expected to match or even surpass previous years, with high shopper activity and significant Prime Day deals, from apparel to 4K TVs to Apple products.
