Introduction
When it comes to Black Friday, the difference between a successful affiliate campaign and a mediocre one lies in the details… and the timing. At Affilired, we’ve spent more than 15 years securing premium placements that truly make the difference, negotiating with top publishers worldwide and driving sales under a 100% commission-based model.
In affiliate marketing, not all placements are equal. Premium spots —such as homepages, newsletters, promocodes, featured offers— are the ones that truly drive conversions. But there’s a catch: they get booked months in advance.
At Affilired we know this first-hand: for over 15 years, we’ve been managing strategic Black Friday slots with top affiliates across the globe to boost sales for hotels, hotel chains, airlines, car rentals, and theme parks.
And the difference between being in the spotlight or stuck in a secondary placement can mean hundreds of bookings lost.
The importance of early planning
Top publishers close their Black Friday placements as early as September–October. Latecomers usually face two scenarios:
- Paying higher prices for less effective placements.
- Missing out on the spots that really convert.
That’s why, at Affilired, we work with our clients from Q3 to define promotions, allocate budgets, and secure prime visibility well before November.
Affilired’s strategies to secure premium placements
- Plan in Q3: We help you define promotions and lock slots before they run out.
- Multichannel negotiation: Thanks to our strong publisher relationships, we secure bundled deals combining homepage + newsletters + push notifications.
- Market segmentation: We know which publishes perform best in each region.
- Clear and exclusive offers: We suggest compelling deals such as aggressive discounts, free upgrades, or flexible benefits, tailored to each partner.
