In October, CPMs experienced a significant 12% decrease, and CPCs saw an impressive 21% reduction month-over-month, suggesting that our advertising spend is being used more efficiently, resulting in a higher return on investment.

CTR experienced a noteworthy 11% increase, indicating that a larger portion of our audience who viewed our ads took the desired action and clicked through.

Despite the rise in CTR, we observed a 27% decrease in CVR, suggesting that while more users are engaging with our content, a smaller percentage are completing the desired action, such as making a purchase.

While October is positioned between two high-volume sale periods (Labor Day and Cyber 5), consumers tend to adopt a more cautious approach to purchases. They lean towards conducting thorough research while eagerly anticipating upcoming sales.

How can you combat a slower month?
