The CPM movement aligns with historical seasonality trends that are typical as the end of the year draws near. On social media, CPM for TikTok and Pinterest followed a similar trajectory to Display. However, Meta’s CPM started to rise in July, potentially driven by an increase of political ad spend.</li> <li>The 2024 peak holiday shopping season, which extends from Thanksgiving to Christmas, is the shortest it’s been in 5 years. This condensed timeline could contribute to increased shipping costs and risks of delay. The U.S. presidential election in early November could also further distract consumers from holiday shopping. To navigate these challenges, marketers need to allocate budget strategically across various periods during the holiday period to optimize their return on investment.</li> <li>As many businesses begin 2025 planning, there are a few key areas business and marketing leaders need to consider, including capturing the benefits of CTV advertising, mitigating the impact of a potential TikTok ban in the U.S., preparing for the evolving uses of third party cookies, and experimenting with how to incorporate AI.</li> </ul> </div> </div>  <div id="cpm-trend" class="wrapper"> <h2>What does the CPM trend reveal?</h2> <p>CPM, or <a href="/digital-advertising/cost-per-mille" target="_blank">cost per mille</a>, is an advertising metric that measures the average cost of showing an ad one thousand times. CPM, similar to the cost of any goods, is determined by supply and demand. In the world of digital advertising, publishers serve as the suppliers; the websites or mobile apps that host and deliver ads to advertisers’ target audiences.</p> <p>The selling and buying of digital ads on the Web is typically conducted in an auction format that can be handled programmatically by two types of platforms - the <a href="/digital-advertising/supply-side-platform">Supply Side Platform (SSP)</a>, representing the publishers, and the <a href="/digital-advertising/demand-side-platform">Demand Side Platform (DSP)</a>, representing the advertisers. Since the amount of advertising space offered by the publishers doesn't typically fluctuate, changes in CPM are mostly driven by advertisers’ demand for ads.</p> <h3 class="padding-top-2em">Display Advertising CPM Trend</h3> <div class="graph cpm"> <svg id="a" data-name="Q2 2023" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 840 210"> <g id="b" data-name="CPM"> <g id="c" data-name="Visitors Trend"> <g style="isolation: isolate;"> <text transform="translate(21.81 120.2) rotate(-90)" style="fill: #4c805a;

Not quite.</p> <p>It’s true that consumer spending is expected to be strong this holiday season. According to eMarketer, ecommerce sales in this year’s holiday shopping season are forecasted to <a href="https://content-na1.emarketer.com/us-holiday-shopping-2024">grow 9.5%</a> from last year, with mobile commerce growing at an even faster rate of 13.4%, the highest since 2021. However, 2024 has a number of unique challenges that marketers need to navigate carefully.</p> <h3>The Unique Challenges of the 2024 Holiday Shopping Season</h3> <h4>2024’s Peak Holiday Shopping Season is Five Days Shorter than 2023’s</h4> <p>The length of the peak holiday shopping season, the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas, changes every year. The 2024 peak holiday shopping season has only 27 days, compared to 32 days in 2023. That means businesses will have five fewer days to meet their holiday sales targets compared to last year.</p> <figure class="chart days-until-christmas"> <svg id="a" data-name="Q2 2023" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 844.3 511.35"> <line x1="53.28" y1="476.68" x2="53.28" y2="481.68" vector-effect="none" style="fill: none;

However, with the U.S. presidential election taking place on November 5, and given the incredibly tight state of the race, consumers’ attention will be mostly consumed by the election news until a final winner is confirmed. This will further shorten the window for marketers to reach and engage with their target customers for the holiday season.</p> <h4>Shipping Logistics Considerations</h4> <p>Higher consumer spending coupled with a shorter shopping season will add tremendous pressure to holiday shipping logistics, including <a href="https://www.supplychaindive.com/news/fedex-2024-peak-season-holiday-surcharges-price/724385/">higher shipping fees</a> and an increased risk of shipping delay. eBusinesses with physical goods will need to pay extra attention to shipping costs and delivery estimates and be transparent to the customers about the delivery dates. </p> <h3>Advertising Budget Allocation Timing</h3> <p>In order to effectively navigate these challenges,advertisers will need to strategically allocate budget across various moments during the holiday shopping season. While there are factors and considerations unique to each industry and business, here are some general guidelines for allocating budget throughout November and December. </p> <div class="budget-allocation"> <dl> <dt>Period</dt> <dd>Pre-Election</dd> <dt>Timing</dt> <dd>Now to the Election Day</dd> <dt>Budget Level</dt> <dd>Low</dd> <dt>Remarks</dt> <dd>No need to compete with political ads while consumers’ minds are not on holiday shopping.</dd> </dl> <dl> <dt>Period</dt> <dd>Post-Election</dd> <dt>Timing</dt> <dd>After the Election Day</dd> <dt>Budget Level</dt> <dd>Gradual increase to Medium</dd> <dt>Remarks</dt> <dd>The sooner the elections results are clear, the quicker advertisers should increase the budget.</dd> </dl> <dl> <dt>Period</dt> <dd>Pre-Thanksgiving</dd> <dt>Timing</dt> <dd>A week before Thanksgiving to the day before Thanksgiving</dd> <dt>Budget Level</dt> <dd>Medium or Medium-low</dd> <dt>Remarks</dt> <dd>During the period right before Thanksgiving, consumers tend to hold off shopping and wait for the big sales after Thanksgiving. Ads are important to keep your brand top-of-mind with target customers, but don’t expect a lot of conversions.</dd> </dl> <dl> <dt>Period</dt> <dd>TG/BF/CM</dd> <dt>Timing</dt> <dd>Thanksgiving Day to the end of the Cyber Monday/Week promotion</dd> <dt>Budget Level</dt> <dd>High</dd> <dt>Remarks</dt> <dd>Expect stronger competition during this period than last year as advertisers may allocate more budget due to the compressed holiday shopping season.</dd> </dl> <dl> <dt>Period</dt> <dd>Post TG/BF/CM</dd> <dt>Timing</dt> <dd>After Cyber Monday/Week to the Last Ship Date of your business</dd> <dt>Budget Level</dt> <dd>Medium or Medium-high</dd> <dt>Remarks</dt> <dd>Keep in mind that Cyber Monday this year is already in December when accounting for shipping timelines.</dd> </dl> <dl> <dt>Period</dt> <dd>End of the year</dd> <dt>Timing</dt> <dd>After the Last Ship Date</dd> <dt>Budget Level</dt> <dd>Low</dd> </dl> </div> </div>  <div id="2025-planning" class="padding-top-5em"> <h2>Important Trends to Consider for 2025 Planning</h2> <h3>New Channel Dynamics</h3> <h4>CTV</h4> <p><a href="/blog/what-is-connected-tv-ctv-advertising-a-beginner-s-guide">Connected TV (CTV)</a> advertising refers to delivering targeted advertisements through internet-connected television sets or devices. It leverages the benefits of precise targeting and cost effective <a href="/digital-advertising/programmatic-advertising">programmatic media buying</a> to deliver video ads straight to the screens in people’s living rooms. According to eMarketer, CTV is projected to <a href="https://www.emarketer.com/insights/guide-ctv/">grow 13.3%</a> from last year and will reach $32.5 billion in 2025. </p> <p>Compared to traditional TV advertising, CTV has a much lower barrier to entry. As many demand-side platforms are adding CTV to their offering, it’s relatively easy for businesses to explore this channel. </p> <h4>TikTok</h4> <p>TikTok was the fastest growing social network, in terms of both users and advertising revenue, in the past couple of years. In 2025, however, its validity in the U.S. will be in doubt. While it may be unlikely, yet possible, TikTok will be banned in the U.S. from January 2025, businesses relying on TikTok for brand building and customer acquisition should consider further diversifying their channel mix to mitigate the uncertainty from a potential TikTok ban. </p> <h3>Third Party Cookies</h3> <p>Following Google’s announcement of their <a href="https://privacysandbox.com/intl/en_us/news/privacy-sandbox-update/">updated approach</a> to third party cookie deprecation in July, there hasn’t been much news about Google’s next step. However, businesses need to start preparing for Google’s roll-out of the third party cookie opt-out feature in Chrome. At a minimum, businesses should prioritize building up their zero and first party data collection strategies as a key marketing objective in 2025. For more information regarding advertising strategies in the post third party cookie era, please refer to our <a href="/resources/guides-and-reports/advanced-guide-zero-first-party-data-strategies-for-retargeting">zero and first-party data strategy guide</a>. </p> <h3>AI Applications in Advertising & Marketing</h3> <p>Since ChatGPT’s debut nearly two years ago, it seems almost every software platform has incorporated some type of AI functionality. From generating text and images, to optimizing campaign ROI, AI is becoming an essential tool for advertisers and marketers. The proliferation of AI will only accelerate in 2025.</p> <p>While AI can be used in many areas, it doesn’t mean the more AI, the better. Each business’ AI adoption strategy is unique and should evolve overtime. Exploring and experimenting how AI can help enhance your marketing and business performance should be a priority for business leaders in 2025.</p> </div> <hr class="thin">  <div id="faq" class="faq
