Consumer Insights on Celebrating Easter in 2022

I know you feel just the same way. It’s time to slow down, forget about your work for a while, right? Well, not really, if you are serious about your business.

In affiliate marketing slang, “Happy Easter” basically means “A profitable one”. Is it easy to achieve? No, it’s never easy. Is it doable? Yes, it is, if you are a revenue-driven and passionate professional and know how much it takes to be successful. But even though it’s hard, it’s worth trying.

Just take a look at these numbers presented by the United States National Retail Federation for 2022 season:

• 79% of Americans declare they’re going to celebrate Easter 
• They spend ca. $18.11 billion in total and $151.25 per capita
• Every third dollar is spent on gifts or clothing
• 48% of those who don’t celebrate Easter still participate in the shopping spree

Also, here’s a most recent report on how consumers celebrated Easter amid the pandemic, which can serve as a good clue for the 2022 season. 

We Are Living in an Era of e-Commerce

Talking about solid data concerning affiliates’ profits during holidays, let’s concentrate for a minute on the bigger picture of our industry.

According to estimations published by Statista, in 2022 retail e-commerce sales worldwide will amount to 6.54 trillion dollars. It’s almost twice as much as three years ago which means that the global shift to e-commerce was propelled even further amidst the covid-19 pandemic.

What is more, online shopping is also trending as one of the most popular online activities. Millennials make more than 60% of their purchases while browsing, and that number is still growing.

It’s not a secret that the power of e-commerce will only increase. Do you want a piece of it? I’m glad to hear that.

What Are the Best Affiliate Verticals for Easter Season?

It’s not a coincidence that I provided you with such a long introduction about e-commerce. A shopping frenzy is actually one of the biggest opportunities for affiliate marketing specialists to profit during holidays like Easter.

Typical customers buy a lot these days, sometimes even more than they can afford, throwing parties for their families, buying gifts, flowers, clothes — this year mostly online.

The other verticals you should take a closer look at during Easter are nutra and finance. Obviously, we all want to keep fit despite the abnormal amount of chocolate eggs we’ll secretly devour. That’s one explanation.

On the other hand, there’s also a significant group of people who want to make sure they’ll be able to afford all the Easter celebrations or hope for some extra cash to be made — or found while searching for that Easter Egg.

They need to order food, decorations, home appliances, home gym equipment, research financial opportunities… They need your offers.

You’re new in the business? Here’s what Neill Burton, Zeropark’s Head of Account Management, recommends you do:

My general advice is to start big, pausing either keywords or sources that do not work to cut off big sections of unprofitable traffic. Once you’re happy with the keywords or sources left, you should then start optimizing on the target level.
