Calendar for Public Holidays and key shopping events in Hong Kong and Taiwan

Posted 10 months ago by Helena Kohl

The average publisher on Skimlinks doubles their commerce content revenue in the holiday season. Commerce editors have more to write about than just Lunar New Year and Singles’ Day. Commerce content is thriving in these markets, evidenced by a 37% year-over-year increase in publisher commissions in Hong Kong from 2021 to 2023, and a 176% uplift in publisher commissions from Q3 to Q4 in Taiwan. Skimlinks is delighted to share a list of Public Holidays and E-Commerce Events in Hong Kong and Taiwan to help you plan your 2024 editorial calendar. 

Publishers may consider writing their articles several months in advance to get better SEO traction or simply because consumers are shopping early.
