Here in the UK, and am sure in the USA and other countries it is predicted that online sales will trend upwards while high street will experience a retail sale slump.

High street sales figures are the worst for three years, according to a new report.

The KPMG/British Retail Consortium Retail Sales Monitor shows that total sales are lower than a year ago for the first time since April 2005.

The research indicates that clothing and footwear sales have remained poor and discount-driven, while furniture and homewares fell further below last year’s levels, despite the massive discounts and promotions.

However, non-food non-store sales in October were 16.6% higher than a year ago, and figures released separately by IMRG and Capgemini suggest that a 15% increase in year on year internet sales is likely in the run-up to the Christmas period.

It is predicted that British shoppers online will spend a total of £13.16bn this festive season. This will represent a 15% rise year-on-year, according to the IMRG Capgemini e-Retail Sales Index. This figure is equivalent to £215 being spent online by each person in the UK.

So how can domainers benefit from this expected increase in online spending? Simply build brands and websites that will sell what customers are buying.

Domainers can either build websites to sell their own merchandise or participate in affiliate marketing. High traffic domains can also be forwarded to affiliate pages (be careful not to infringe of any trademarks).

Visit the websites for online retailers and research their affiliate programs and choose a few that you could promote and benefit from. PPC may increase during the Christmas season, but if you get your affiliate marketing right, you just might make a decent fortune.
