Holidays, Gifts, Discounts, Emotions – and How They Influence Revenue in Nutra

The holiday period is always about emotions, movement, spontaneous purchases, and shifting priorities. But for affiliates and advertisers, it’s primarily about instability. Traffic gets more expensive, customer behavior changes, and working funnels sometimes “collapse” literally overnight.

We spoke with INB.bio affiliate managers to understand how holidays impact nutra revenue – and what you should keep in mind to make these fluctuations work for you, not against you.

How Seasonality and Holidays Change Buyer Behavior

Differences between markets become obvious immediately. For example, Arab GEOs react strongly to religious holidays, and it’s something you must consider. One of our affiliates, Yurii, explains it simply and quite clearly:

“Demand usually drops because all ads switch to e-commerce goods. In Arab countries during Ramadan, people just don’t answer calls – and that directly affects sales.”

A similar effect appears during the “back to school” period, when families literally “shift their budgets” toward school expenses. As a result, conversions may drop even in stable GEOs.

Do Gifts and Bonuses Actually Work?

Gift mechanics can boost conversion during holidays – but only if they’re logical and simple. Nobody wants a quest when it’s holiday time; people want a clear benefit.

“Buy 2, get 3 works best,” says Yurii.

Holiday bundles also perform well. They’re not just a pretty box – they’re a ready-made set that solves a specific problem. In nutra, this can be a base course + a small complementary product as a gift.

But raffles, contests, and complicated mechanics? They tend to hurt results. During holidays, simple solutions win.

Discounts: A Revenue Boost or a Risky Pitfall?

Discounts can either boost sales or completely destroy trust in the product.

When the discount is too big, buyers naturally ask: “Why so cheap? What’s wrong with it?”

In some periods – for example, right before Black Friday – even a good discount may fail to offset increasing traffic costs. Affiliate manager Olena shares:

“Before Black Friday, the price per lead grows, so traffic becomes more expensive. Approvals stay stable, but volumes drop.”

In other words, discounts don’t guarantee higher profit if the market is overheated and too many advertisers compete for the same traffic. It’s crucial to find the balance between quality and quantity.

Emotional Triggers That Work During Holidays

The holiday period is emotional, but which emotions convert best? In different GEOs, the answers vary.

Yurii notes: “We sometimes use emotional triggers, but they aren’t essential.”

Here’s what works across markets:

RegionStrongest Triggers
LATAMWarm family stories, care for loved ones
Morocco & AlgeriaFestive colors, post-holiday recovery
Tunisia“New Year – new habits,” self-care
KenyaPracticality, “smart savings”
TanzaniaHoliday symbolism, restoring energy
RwandaCalm, sincere messages about wellbeing

What Happens to Traffic Quality

Holidays = impulsive purchases. And while that may sound perfect, the reality is mixed:

  • the number of leads increases;
  • but buyers make less thoughtful decisions, so approval rates may drop.

“During holidays approval is lower because customers order many things at once,” Yurii explains.

But one thing is certain: holiday traffic almost always becomes more expensive.

How to Work During Peak Seasons

Managers recommend avoiding sudden changes. Any adjustments to budgets, creatives, or audiences should be made in advance. During peak periods algorithms react slower, and any “shake-up” may cost you a lot.

Holiday offers should also be tested before the holiday, not on launch day – at least a week in advance. This gives you enough data to understand what works for each GEO.

Which Holidays Affect Sales the Most?

In most of our GEOs, holiday periods don’t bring sales explosions. Quite the opposite – during religious and national holidays, demand for nutra almost always drops, and customer behavior becomes unpredictable.

There are only a few global exceptions when the market actually heats up and conversions rise. Here are the general tendencies:

How Holidays Influence Nutra Sales

Holiday TypeExamplesImpact on SalesWhy It Happens
Global commercial eventsBlack Friday, Cyber MondaySharp increasePeople expect discounts; high purchase intent; strong competition, but conversions grow even faster
Winter holidaysChristmas, New YearDeclineAttention and budgets shift to gifts and family spending; fewer people answer calls
Religious holidaysRamadan, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, EasterSignificant dropPurchases get postponed; budget goes to celebrations
National holidaysIndependence Days, public holidaysMild to moderate dropLower business activity; health purchases are not a priority
Post-holiday period1–2 weeks after big holidaysGradual approval recoveryPeople return to routine; free money reappears; stable behavior returns
Back to SchoolLate August – early SeptemberDeclineFamily budgets are redirected to education costs

To Sum Up

Holidays can become your goldmine or the toughest part of the season. It all depends on how quickly you adapt to audience behavior in each GEO.
