Holiday Advertising Guide for Non-Gaming Apps in 2026

By Lareina Guo·2026年9月30日·4 分钟阅读

摘要

假日竞争不只发生在电商赛道。Mintegral 以 2025 年 9 月至 2026 年 3 月的非游戏类广告素材为样本进行观察,素材量可作为广告密度的方向性指标——它反映的是进入市场的新素材数量,而非实际消耗或投放效果。数据显示,2025 年 10 月非游戏素材量几乎持平,11 月大幅攀升,12 月进一步加速,最终较 9 月基线高出 16.1%,增幅最陡的阶段正对应假日日历最密集的时段。因此建议在相对安静的 9—10 月,先用一组聚焦的产品卖点、季节性使用场景与优惠信息素材做测试,待 11—12 月竞争升温后,再将已跑通目标的创意方向扩展到更多版本并加大预算投入。

品类之间的 Q4 路径差异显著,假日动能远不止于零售。以各品类自身的 9 月基线为参照,Utilities、Social 和 Education 涨幅最为突出,背后是新设备激活、账号注册与个人学习等假日需求支撑,其中 Utilities 12 月较 9 月高出 45.1%,为组内最强;Entertainment、Finance 与 Health & Fitness 在 11—12 月逐步累积势能,收官高于 9 月;E-Commerce 与 Life Services 的增长相对温和;Business 则是唯一例外,12 月虽有回暖但仍低于 9 月。整体来看,多数品类跑赢 E-Commerce,说明假日增量并不局限于零售。由此衍生出的排期思路是:将素材生产对齐用户从工作节奏切换到假日闲暇的行为迁移,并以品类而非统一日历为维度搭建投放计划。

区域市场的品类优先级同样分化。分区域素材量数据显示,东南亚市场独树一帜,由 Business 类应用领跑;欧洲、拉美与中东则由 E-Commerce 位居首位;北美结构更为均衡,E-Commerce 与 Entertainment 的差距较小。在此基础上,本地日历进一步决定投放时点与执行方式,各区域的关键营销节点权重不同,素材需要同时反映本地节庆语境、可用产品功能与促销节奏。在广告形式层面,Q4 中 Interstitial ads 与 Rewarded video ads 体量接近,是占比最大的两类版位;区域上,Interstitial ads 在欧洲、北美、拉美和中东排名第一,Rewarded video ads 紧随其后,而东南亚是唯一显著例外——Native ads 以较大幅度领先。这意味着素材生产重点应因地制宜:多数区域以 Interstitial 与 Rewarded video 为主,东南亚则需加大 Native 的投入权重。此外,Playable ads 在 Q4 非游戏素材中占比始终低于 1%,并在 10 月至 12 月间逆势下滑,未参与季节性放量,对非游戏假日投放而言仍属有限选项。

圣诞之后,另一组节点接力登场:新年、农历新年、情人节、斋月及其他本地节庆,使 1—3 月成为一个全新的营销窗口,而非高峰后的余波。整体非游戏素材量在 1 月见顶,较 12 月高出 11.6%,随后在 2 月和 3 月逐步回落。1 月的抬升说明年末高峰之后市场仍保持活跃;当总量回落时,品类层面的走势更能帮助判断是否继续产出新素材。E-Commerce 是 1 月增长的主要驱动力,随后趋于平缓;Social 则走出不同曲线,3 月较 12 月高出 37.1%;Utilities 与 Finance 同样维持在 12 月之上。生产节奏也应随之分化:E-Commerce 团队需尽快替换年末促销素材,而 Social、Utilities 与 Finance 团队可以围绕新年生活节奏与本地事件,评估后续一波素材的生命周期与增量空间。

上述五大趋势指向同一个结论:非游戏假日增长不遵循单一时间表,品类动能、区域结构与版位组合各不相同,因此排期的起点不是日历本身,而是每个应用在假日周期中所处的位置。落地时,可先明确自身品类与目标市场的竞争相位,在淡季完成素材测试与概念验证,在高峰前完成扩量与本地化,再借助用户获取与素材表现数据持续做增量提效。对于希望进一步优化假日策略的团队,可参考非游戏应用用户获取、高效视频广告以及非游戏 Playable ads 等相关实操洞察,并通过 Mintegral AppGrowth 启动投放或联系团队获取支持。

分析师点评

值得关注的是,Mintegral 用「创意量」而非花费或 eCPM 作为广告密度的代理指标,这本身说明非游赛道的竞争难以用单一预算口径衡量,创意供给的涨落往往先于预算变化显现。把非游品类从电商的 Q4 单一时钟里拆出来后,Utilities、Social、Education 的涨幅明显高于 E-Commerce,显示非游增量正从「跟随电商节点」转向按自身使用场景排期。区域维度同样关键:东南亚以 Business 与 Native 为主,与欧美拉美的 Interstitial/Rewarded 结构分化,跨区素材复用效率在下降。

Q1 被重新定义为独立窗口而非年末余波,也与 Lunar New Year、Ramadan 等本地节点后移的节奏吻合。

Holiday Advertising Guide for Gaming Apps in 2026

Mintegral’s 2026 holiday guide shows Q4 gaming creative volume rising 12% from September to December, so testing must happen in September–October before peak fatigue. Category ramps diverge: Card & Board, Match, Puzzle, and Mid-core/Hardcore build strongly, while Casual and Idle finish below September. Regional category mix is consistent, led by Mid-core/Hardcore, Puzzle, and Match, with North America’s Card & Board exception. Rewarded video and interstitials dominate Q4; playable share is 18.2% but declines, creating room to stand out. After Christmas, most categories hold share; Puzzle gains slightly. Decision: build reusable creative cores, localize timing, and validate production against LiveOps and results.

TikTok For Business is courting new advertisers with a tiered credit promotion: spend $100/$500/$1,500 and receive equivalent ad credits, with the top tier adding 1:1 expert support. For ad ops decision-makers, the surrounding content underscores a strategic shift: marketers should embrace marketing mix modeling (MMM) rather than last-touch ROAS, leverage full-funnel AI automation, and use seasonal/industry playbooks (beauty, fashion, sports) to align creative with intent. Key takeaway: combine offer-based trial with longer-horizon measurement and structured content planning to maximize TikTok ad efficiency.

Halloween app trends: Insights for your 2026 campaign | Adjust

Adjust's Halloween 2025 data across six weeks shows the holiday window opens well before October 31 and differs by category and market. Entertainment installs peaked the weekend before Halloween (up 42–44% vs. summer baseline), with OTT/streaming and video content installs up 120% on October 25 and 300% YoY. Photo and video sessions instead spiked on Halloween night itself (+6% global vs. the four prior Fridays; Canada +15%, Germany +13%, U.K. +11%, U.S. +9%, Mexico +7%). Single global send dates miss market-level peaks, so ad ops should time creative, push, and budget shifts per market—especially in Mexico, where activity runs through Día de los Muertos.

Ad ops teams should review eligibility criteria carefully and consider leveraging these tools to maximize ROI during the promotional window.

Cracking the 2026 Holiday Season: A Data-Backed Playbook for Marketing Leaders

Q4 2026 planning should treat peak shopping as a compressed event, not a week. Black Friday/Cyber Monday purchase lift runs 2–3x install lift, so ad ops must schedule by daypart and hour. Singles Day is not global: Brazil, UAE and Spain show real lift, while US/France barely react. CPI spikes hardest in supposedly cheap markets—Spain’s CPI rose nearly 50%. Remarketing already drives 65–92% of non-organic spend and rises during peak. Deep linking is critical: deep-linked users are ~2x more likely to purchase and spend nearly 3x more. Benchmark market CPI, shift budget to remarketing, and connect every entry point.
