Black Friday is 109 days away. Cyber Monday is 112.
In the outdoor affiliate industry, those dates aren’t just circled on the calendar, they’re the summit push. Q4 is when the right affiliate strategy can make up 30–50% of your annual online revenue.
And if it’s August? You’re right on time.
The brands that start now, not in October, are the ones locking premium affiliate placements, landing in top gift guides, and owning the conversation when shoppers are in buy mode.
GravityFed is here to make sure you’re one of them.
We’re offering Free Program Audits right now, and for brands that want to fast-track results, our Performance+ service delivers a turnkey Q4 setup, one-time setup fee, then a percentage of affiliate sales. No wasted budget. All upside.
Why August is the Prime Time for Q4 Affiliate Prep
Think of August as your basecamp window. You’ve got time to plan, build, and secure your position before the crowds arrive, but you can’t linger.
Here’s what’s still wide open in August (but won’t be in a few weeks):
- Prime placements on high-authority affiliate sites.
- Inclusion in holiday gift guides (these close fast).
- Time to recruit and onboard new affiliates before BFCM rush.
What’s in a Free GravityFed Program Audit
We’re not talking a surface-level glance. Our free audit gives you:
- Competitive Benchmarking – See where you stand against other outdoor brands.
- Affiliate Mix Analysis – Identify missing publisher types and underperformers.
- Offer & Placement Gaps – Spot where you could win higher visibility.
- Revenue Opportunity Map – Your clearest path to bigger Q4 returns.
No guesswork. Just a clear, data-backed action plan you can use immediately.
