Eid al Fitr 2023 in the Time of Corona
This Eid al Fitr 2023 may feel different than other Eid Holidays in light of the CoronaVirus crisis, but it is still a time for joy, love, zakat and moral transcendence.
Affiliate marketing has the advantage of adapting to the conditions and rapidly changing behavior of consumers, so despite the repercussions of the crisis you can definitely maintain your income!
The CoronaVirus may have caused painful blows to some sectors and industries, but it in turn has allowed the online purchasing sector and industries like affiliate marketing to grow!
Of course, this growth is accompanied by greater profits in response to consumer needs, which have been changed by changing their behaviors and their general course of life! This growth in ecommerce has once again cemented online marketing as a necessary marketing behavior to tackle the crisis, driven by government efforts to promote it as an alternative to visiting stores.
Additionally, through marketing, you can contribute to meeting the needs of your audience so they can adhere to the restrictions and continue their lives naturally. Right now, it is expected that preventive and precautionary measures will remain intact until the end of Ramadan and through Eid al Fitr 2020, so your audience will be facing greater challenges this season.

The Eid holidays are festive, pure in nature, and a wonderful time to spread love and happiness among those who celebrate it. And since joy increases spending, there is no doubt that online shopping will grow in the second and third days of Eid al Fitr 2023, compensating for a bit lower spending in the days leading up to Eid holidays.

Eid Al Fitr 2023 – Save Your Best Campaigns Until after Eid!
Here’s a surprising statistical fact about e-shopping behavior on Eid al Fitr – and corroborated by purchases last year during Eid in UAE, KSA, Kuwait even Egypt.
The number of purchases decreases in the days leading up to the Eid holidays, and it returns and increases after the first day of Eid al Fitr, starting from the second day. This is due to several reasons, the most important of which are:
- Eid Holiday Celebrations – Those who celebrate Eid in UAE, KSA & the rest of GCC/MENA were busy with visiting relatives and loved ones, exchanging gifts and eating together.
- Brick-and-Mortar shopping – Celebrants go out together to the mall together to shop and eat – although with CoronaVirus restrictions, this is not likely to happen during Eid al Fitr 2023.
- Eid Holiday Prep has finished –
Usually people prepare for Eid al Fitr from the second or third week of Ramadan, which is when you should be promoting, because there is amazing growth in online shopping.
By the end of Ramadan, the revelers have completed their preparation for the feast and received their orders.
- Brand New Sales – E-stores and brands usually offer great Eid al Fitr deals, Eid Al Fitr discounts, and last minute deals that attract many shoppers after the first evening of the Eid holidays.
In this way, sales dip just before Eid, and rise again during the second day.
Note that the number of sales only drops sharply but does not cease altogether! Some people continue to shop online and keep up with their favorite e-stores.
So be sure to engage with your audience so you can so that you can find out what their needs are and provide them with solutions.
Best Categories & Products For Eid Al Fitr 2023
As described in some detail above, it is expected that the number of online purchases will decrease in the days leading up to Eid al Fitr 2023 including the first day of the Eid holiday. So the Eid al-Fitr 2023 shopping season can be divided into two parts:
- Before Eid Al-Fitr
- After Eid Al-Fitr
As mentioned earlier, the second and third week of Ramadan is the peak period in Ramadan shopping because there are people buying not only for the remainder of Ramadan, but also planning fashion, gifts and special food dishes for Eid in UAE, KSA & the rest of GCC/MENA.
Shopping Trends Before Eid al Fitr 2023
Online shopping activity in the period from the fourth week until the holiday decreases overall, but this doesn’t have to be the case with your audience!
Here your role is in monitoring the activities and interests of your fans to take effective action as soon as you notice a decrease in spending.
This pivots upon 2 things. One, you being able to recognize and connect to your audience’s needs during this period. And two, upon you being able to promote affiliate offers to your followers with relevant and attractive products from advertisers to address these needs.
Some of your followers may be shopping for certain products that are crucial in preparation for Eid in UAE and KSA especially, as your audience in these two geos will be expecting fast convenient service on everything – even at the last minute.
Since we are talking about the period just a few days before Eid holidays, it is important for the advertiser to provide fast shipping and express delivery service in order to satisfy the customer.
Trending Categories & Products Before Eid al Fitr 2023

These can include home decor, appliances, clothing for a different fit after all the fasting or for the change in weather, and even electronics they realized they don’t want to live without.
For those under Corona lockdown still, most of the above list will apply, with the addition of more home grocery delivery.
FOMO from relatives and friends
Eid Mubarak! Since people will be visiting their relatives and friends, they may catch purchase envy – or simply good recommendations – from the recent electronics, watch, or home appliance acquisitions of those close to them.
This alone spurs a lot of Eid holiday purchases as your audience works to mirror the second and third week of Ramadan purchases that many of their friends and family made.
