Wow Valentines Day Can Be Tough

Picture the scene, I am late home from work on the 13th February and I have not got card, flowers or anything for my girlfriend! No problem I thought, Ill just pop into a shop and pick up some flowers and card on the way home.

When I arrived at the shop the shelves where almost bare, I had to basically run to get some roses and wrestle them off some other poor bloke only to see the £40 price tag - to save face I just picked them up and went on a hunt for a card. When I reached the shelf there were no cards either so I cunningly bought a cute generic one - the day was saved and my girlfriend is happy! So this got me thinking about affiliate sales during this lucrative day for landbased retailers.

Checking my stats from the past few days and weeks I can see a peak in sales which is great but I was expecting more! This seems to be a reflection on the forums and other blogs too. So how did you all do over the past couple of weeks?

Also a quick reminder that mothers day is around the corner so now is the time to whip down those valentines day banners or ads and start promoting mothers day. From past experience I can tell you more flowers and chocolates are sold for mothers day compared to valentines day for the simple reason that there are more mothers than WAG’s. So start promoting today and capitalize on mothers day mayhem.
