Moloco发布《Unwrapping Seasonal Strategies》报告,基于独立应用生态的用户行为与广告市场数据,解析Q4(10月至新年)至Q5(节后至春季节日)期间的增长机会。报告指出,“假日季”并非单一节点,而是从排灯节、万圣节、黑五、圣诞、新年延续至情人节、农历新年、洒红节的滚动事件序列,每个阶段都会激发新的消费与App使用高峰。
在游戏垂类,美国市场下载量在感恩节/黑五周开始飙升,圣诞至新年达到峰值(较Q4初增长超40%),但竞争与成本在黑五前见顶,因此圣诞至新年期间ROAS最强(iOS提升32%,Android提升15%)。韩国市场成本在12月持续下降,圣诞和农历新年前是高效扩量窗口(ROAS峰值较季初提升25%-32%)。日本市场圣诞至新年期间CPI下降而收入与ROAS齐升,同时3月底的春假与财年前夕是另一高消费季节,带来下载量与ROAS的显著增长。建议广告主在Q4早期测试素材与定向,圣诞至新年集中UA投放,随后在Q5通过留存活动延续用户粘性。
社交垂类方面,美国用户参与度在万圣节后攀升,ARPPU在多个节日(万圣节、感恩节/黑五、圣诞新年、农历新年)达到峰值,带来强ROAS爆发(iOS与Android各峰值介于100%-217%)。韩国市场12月用户时长增加,圣诞和新年前周ROAS提升26%。日本市场圣诞前下载量攀升而成本下降,假日周成为效率与规模兼得的投放窗口。建议广告主针对每个节日更新创意与事件驱动型广告,以捕捉高意向用户。
娱乐垂类在美国市场中,下载与时长在感恩节前和圣诞期间上升,但收入仅在圣诞周达到峰值,而获取成本降至季节性低点,这使得圣诞周的ROAS成为全年最高(较季初提升88%)。建议在Q4早期完成测试,随后将预算集中于圣诞周。
报告核心结论是:时机驱动效率。广告主需采取分阶段策略,将预算、创意与优化方案与用户行为变化对齐,才能赢得假日季并延续至Q5。不同App与市场表现各异,成功取决于创意方法、竞价策略与预算分配的正确组合。
App measurement is fundamentally different from web analytics due to data fragmentation across ad networks, devices, and apps. A Mobile Measurement Partner (MMP) like AppsFlyer bridges these gaps, enabling unified attribution, fraud protection, and LTV measurement. For eCommerce, granular event tracking, deep linking, and privacy-safe data collaboration are critical. Leaders should focus on metrics like IR, CPI, LTV, and ROAS, and adopt AI-driven optimization to overcome challenges like ad fraud and privacy changes. The future is Connected Commerce—integrating apps, web, retail media, and AI.
The 2025 festive season drove significant mobile app activity across categories. Entertainment installs peaked post-Christmas, with video streaming up 54% on New Year's Eve. E-commerce saw highest installs on Dec 26-28, while sessions peaked earlier during deal discovery periods. Finance apps had highest sessions in early December, dipping during holidays. Food delivery maintained steady growth throughout. Gaming installs rose after Christmas, peaking at +18% on New Year's Day. Travel apps peaked Dec 26-28. Key takeaway: marketers should time campaigns to each category's unique engagement windows to maximize ROI.
Q5 (late Dec–mid Jan) offers mobile game advertisers lower auction competition, seasonally low CPMs/CPAs, high purchase intent, and peak mobile usage. Meta/AppsFlyer data show Western markets increasing Q5 spend; APAC peaks shift to local holidays like Shōgatsu and Lunar New Year. IAA revenue rises early Nov, peaks Black Friday, then again Dec 25–Jan 1, while IAP lifts closer to mid-Dec. Retargeting conversions trend upward from early October across casual, casino, and midcore. For ad ops: plan early, keep budgets flexible, enable Advantage+ automation, test 50 differentiated creatives, use seasonally relevant creative, Value Rules, CPPs, and web-to-app measurement.
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.
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.
Q5 (late Dec-early Jan) offers mobile game advertisers lower CPMs and CPIs due to reduced brand ad spend, with Android CPMs dropping sharply and puzzle CPIs halving from December highs. Casual genres benefit most. Key strategies: run seasonal campaigns, shift Q1 budget to early January for cheaper installs, and re-engage lapsed users. Act early to build momentum for 2026.
Cyber 5 2025 saw $44.2B in online sales (+7.7% YoY), with Black Friday outpacing Cyber Monday for the first time. Mobile dominated (57.5% of Cyber Monday sales), and AI shopping assistants surged 670% YoY, converting 38% better than traditional sources. The efficiency paradox emerged: higher CPMs but lower CPAs due to spike in conversion rates (Black Friday CPA down 14% vs. early Oct). Omnichannel campaigns delivered 35% lower CPA. Q5 (post-Cyber Monday) offers the most efficient period with low CPMs and high purchase intent. Key tactics: creative diversity, automation, creator partnerships, and remarketing.
For 2025 holiday success, ad ops decision-makers should ramp up UA spend early (summer to September) to build a user base for Q4, balance with year-round remarketing that spikes on key shopping days, and leverage interactive ads and UGC to convert shoppers. Front-loading UA on iOS and optimizing for sustained in-app revenue via loyalty flows are critical. Use AI to scale creative testing and personalize campaigns.
