Cyber Week continues to be the biggest shopping week on the calendar for shoppers and brands alike. Rakuten Advertising data shows that shoppers placed significantly more orders during Cyber Week than any other week in 2020, despite the fact that brands have been making an effort to spread deals throughout the holiday season.

Rakuten Advertising held the first-ever Digital DealMaker event on Wednesday, June 23rd. While DealMaker is typically hosted in-person across major cities, this year we chose to bring engaging speakers and and impactful networking opportunities to everyone’s homes.

The 18th annual United States Golden Link Awards were held virtually on October 7th, 2021. The event was hosted by comedian Adam Mamawala. The afternoon brought together some of the best in the performance marketing industry to celebrate innovation, collaboration and leadership!

Americans plan to travel around the country and the world this year. Despite concerns over inflation and higher fuel costs, the modern traveler plans to book trips well into 2023. In fact, 44% of travelers plan to spend more on vacations rather than downgrade the quality of their trip.

Online travel aggregators (OTAs) are a quick and efficient way for travelers to book anything from hotels to flights, car rentals, and more.

This year’s Cyber Week 2022 was predicted to be a fluctuating shopping season, but many retailers still met, or exceeded, last year’s numbers. Overall, among the top categories on the Rakuten Advertising Network, the sales for home goods, luxury, jewelry, and travel ranked the highest for this season.

It’s no secret that travel was adversely affected by the coronavirus pandemic- at one point in 2020, the TSA processed just 90,510 passengers in a day, a far cry from the 2.4 million processed in 2019. And while in the three years since the pandemic began, pure leisure travel has rebounded to pre-pandemic levels, business travel has not.

After two long years, we are thrilled to announce that our performance marketing community has the opportunity to connect face-to-face again at Rakuten Advertising’s DealMaker USA 2022!
