CJ Releases 2019 Holiday Intelligence Report

As US shoppers gear up to spend $142 billion on holiday goods and gifts online this year, marketers of all sizes and in all industries are working feverishly to get things in order. 

Their goal: attracting as many of those holiday shoppers as possible.

The 2018 holiday season was a strong one across CJ Affiliate’s network, with double-digit growth in retail revenue and orders. Buoyed by strong consumer sentiment, and despite uncertainty and political turmoil in the US and UK markets, the holiday season was a bright spot for marketers in the affiliate channel.
