Facebook Gaming’s Sneha Vaidyanathan on why the usually bountiful holiday season will be a bigger opportunity than ever in 2020. This article was created in collaboration with Facebook Gaming.

Early last shipping dates
Every year, post Black Friday, CPMs come down steadily in some markets. This year, the delays to shipping we’ve seen over the past months, especially in the United States, mean that retailers have been encouraging customers to purchase earlier. Between this and the delays there may be reduction of e-commerce activity in the auction as early as December 15. We’d therefore recommend being ready to capitalize on this once you start to notice any changes.
