Calendar for Public Holidays and key shopping events in Singapore

 

 

 

 

The average publisher on Skimlinks doubles their commerce content revenue in the holiday season. Commerce content goes beyond these festive celebrations, as shopping events happen all year long. In 2023, Singaporean publishers saw a 78% increase in their commissions and 82% in their total order value last year.

Here is a selection of public holidays and events that can inspire publishers to write for their audience in Singapore. Publishers may decide to write their articles several months in advance to get better SEO traction or simply because consumers are shopping early.
