As brands, publishers, and content creators gear up for 2025, one thing is clear: understanding major buying events and planning ahead is more critical than ever. Promotions are starting earlier each year, and success comes to those who prepare. 📅 Align your content calendar with key holidays. 🔍 Give Google and social platforms the time they need to rank your keywords. 📈 Build a robust volume of content to dominate high-buying seasons. At The Grommet, we’re already merchandising for Valentine’s Day and brainstorming ideas for Mother’s and Father’s Day. A big fail is when brands are emailing me today about getting into our plans for this week! Sorry, it's way too late for that 🤦♂️ The message is clear: start planning earlier to stay ahead. This was a key takeaway from my conversation with Barret Wertz, Commerce Editorial Director at the New York Post, from the latest episode of The Boost, presented by Affiliate Summit. Barret shared incredible insights on how publishers and brands can better position themselves to win in 2025. 👉 Watch the episode to learn more and start 2025 with a strategy built for success.

If you’re a brand aiming to get featured by major publishers, here’s a critical mindset shift: focus on how your product can drive revenue for the publication. ✅ Offer higher commissions. ✅ Optimize average order value (AOV). ✅ Provide top-notch assets and resources. ✅ Ensure your site is conversion-rate optimized. Flip the perspective—what does the publisher, writer, or content creator need to succeed? When you align your efforts with their goals and KPIs, the results often come full circle, helping you achieve your own. As Zig Ziglar famously said: “You can have everything in life you want if you will just help other people get what they want.” Want to learn more about creating win-win brand + content partnerships? Hear from Barret Wertz, Commerce Editorial Director at the NY Post, in the latest episode of The Boost.
