Calendar for Public Holidays and key shopping events in Australia and New Zealand

Posted 11 months ago by Angelique Parungao

The average publisher on Skimlinks doubles their commerce content revenue in the holiday season. In Australia, commerce content saw a remarkable 62% increase in EPC and a 31% increase in publisher commissions last year.

Here is a selection of public holidays and events that can inspire publishers to write for their audience in Australia and New Zealand. Publishers may decide to write their articles several months in advance to get better SEO traction or simply because consumers are shopping early.

Feeling inspired? Sign up and start monetising your commerce content through Skimlinks.
