The best kept secret
Recognized as an evergreen product, the Antivirus vertical has always been a staple in the world of affiliate marketing. Over the last couple of years, however, Antivirus has acquired a cult-like status among affiliates.
Known for its uncapped potential and high payouts, Antivirus has seen an increased acceleration in traffic that shows no sign of slowing down.
It’s popular, yes, but it’s a vertical that’s far from saturation. There’s arguably never been a better time to explore cybersecurity & Antivirus offers, allow us to explain…
WHY NOT?
There are a number of reasons why Antivirus offers have grown in popularity.
When the pandemic hit, it drove online sales through the roof and increased the world’s internet usage by 70%. It sent everyone online, whether that was to game, connect or stream. Now, in our post-pandemic hybrid-working world, we’re often away from offices with their secure server systems leaving us vulnerable to a malware contamination
It’s estimated that there are 560,000 new malware programs discovered every day and over 1 billion in existence, globally. These figures can sound scary, but conversations around security have led users to become savvier resulting in increased sales of Antivirus software.
GOT IT, SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN FOR AFFILIATES?
Okay, let’s break this down:
- Users are looking for Antivirus software. That means there’s no hard sell, it’s a captive audience.
- Affiliates operating in the Antivirus vertical have the luxury of working with big names such as McAfee, Norton and Kaspersky, which come with brand recognition. These Antivirus software brands are known, and therefore make it much easier to connect with the end user.
It’s worth mentioning here that creatives are often provided and pre-approved by the brand, making it much easier and quicker for the affiliate to launch. All you need to do is plug and play.
The Antivirus vertical operates in almost every GEO. The US and Canada lead the way, but the UK, Germany and Japan aren’t far behind. Ultimately though, everyone with an internet connection is a potential customer. It’s also a vertical that is safe to promote on all traffic sources (social, push, native, SEO, banner) meaning there are multiple opportunities to scale and no discussions with your traffic source rep.
