Affiliate programs popular in August 2021
August is going to be hot: not only outside but also in traffic flows. “Sleepy” consumers are demonstrating higher activity; niches of products and services are getting to the earlier parameters. And COVID-19 is not going to prevent publishers from earning.
In the last month of summer, we will mine traffic across various segments: school stuff, gadgets, electronics, apparel and shoes, wedding goods, outdoor goods, pet products…
Important! Always watch the geography of affiliate programs. This text mainly comprises worldwide programs, but there are still some programs for specific regions. You can recognize them by region tags. For instance, ES for Spain, IN for India, PL for Poland, US for the US, etc.
School, study, and studentship
August clearly implies that a lot of sales are going to come to the vertical of school goods. Therefore, publishers can confidently await gaining—just because in the US, Europe, and many other regions, schoolchildren and students get back to their desks and auditoriums in August-September.
So, we see that all study items are demanded, including stationery, uniforms (sports and school uniforms), comfortable furniture for studying at home, backpacks and bags, books, online tutors and courses, gadgets (New laptop models usually come out in August, so keep an eye on presentations).
Seek traffic on thematic forums and on social media; generate helpful content. Safe formats are reviews, selections (and TOP ratings), checklists, product and price comparisons. Encourage users to start buying stuff now, until the fuzz reaches its climax.
Remember that competition between publishers is very high in this niche—just like in any seasonal segment. It’s imperative that you stand out from the crowd: invoke catchy creatives or generous discount offers.

Country holiday season
August is the last month of the country holiday season. Camping and outdoor leisure are in full play; on the other hand, people may want to start preparations for colder times. Gardeners are overwhelmed with work: harvesting, preparing conserved foods, drying vegetables and fruit, planting seedlings, cleaning up plants and preparing them for fall and winter, pest control, and so forth.
As you may guess, people are going to spend a good amount of time in the countryside. And they need building materials—a category exceptionally popular in August that comprises garden furniture, plants, BBQ goods, outdoor sports gadgets, and many others.

Sales
Mid-August for most brands is the dusk of a fashionable spring-summer season and a switch to newer, autumn concepts. And it’s expected that previous-season accessories, clothes, and shoes will go off the shelves at bargain prices.
Remind users of that! Prepare some content and creatives with price comparisons—to gain more traffic. Invite them to buy summer and swimming apparel for the next season at a favorable price.
