The Card up Your Sleeve

The BIG day is now less than a week a way and most of your merchants’ in-time for Christmas shipping dates will have passed.

Never mind. You still have the best card up your sleeve — the gift card.

If you’re running a zillion affiliate promotions through as many merchants, finding those that have [gift certificates available may seem a daunting task. Here’s a simple way to find them.

Login to CJ and do a Link search by category and relationship (as shown in the graphic below) for both ‘gift card’ and ‘gift certificate’.

Otherwise, a straight Product search will return 1,000 entries through which you’ll have to scroll to find your advertisers.

Get the links for the best of them and post them to your blog. Here’s what I did at Sage-Hearts.com.

Then send out a quick note to your readers today which links back to your site.

It’s a simple way to generate a nice spike in both traffic and sales during the last few days before Christmas.

HO! HO! HO!

    Rosalind,

    Great idea! Many of the networks sent out lists of their merchants that commission on gift cards. You have to be careful, there are some companies that don’t pay commissions on gift card purchases!

    I setup a site for Gift Cards, take a look at http://www.buy-gift-cards.com
