According to recently published research from Adroll, marketers should definitely consider launching their holiday campaigns in October in order to maximize performance and response.
The findings, based on data collected from Adroll's 37,000+ customers, show that over 40% of consumers in the US begin holiday shopping in October - yet the average CPC is 12% lower than November and December. The average CPM is lower also, which points to some key opportunities for those who are able to get in early with their campaigns.
