✨ Today’s Insight ✨
How to maximize post-holiday promotions
📰 TL;DR - Meta just published a new guide on opportunities for Q5, the period between late December and mid-January where marketers can grasp one last opportunity to drive post-holiday sales. The 6-page guide includes insights with data on traditional ad performance, but we’re breaking down the highlights below.
💡 Insight - In January 2022, CPM rates were on average -15% below their October 1st levels while average CPAs were done -4%. While some may shy away from these numbers, this is where you can stand out. There’s still demand to shop and there’s reduced competition.
Meta recommends advertisers use automation to optimize campaign levers. By using ad scheduling within Advantage+ shopping campaigns, you can set a start and end time for a single post-holiday ad. This helps provide control in a time when you probably don’t want to be worrying about ad buys.
Remember the buyer you’re trying to reach and build diverse creative from there. Shoppers are still looking for bargains. People may have received gift cards or money for the holidays and look to cash those in. Others may be thinking about new year resolutions and self-improvement. The psychology of buyers during this time is unique – use it as an asset.
