Memorial Day mobile advertising study

Preceding the Memorial Day holiday weekend, InMobi experienced a huge surge in demand for mobile advertising on its network, many of its advertisers leveraged the InMobi Analytics product for this key buying period.  A study into the behavior not only unveils a 74% drop in cost per conversion within two weeks of launch, but also shows huge increases in volume achieved post optimization by using the automated, real-time feedback loop unique to the InMobi Analytics tool.

The findings highlight an important learning for advertisers looking to maximize performance during holiday periods. Commenting on the findings, Anne Frisbie, InMobi, said: "Advertisers need to plan ahead to win in the market during holidays. We saw several clients miss the window by launching too close to Memorial Day and not allowing time for optimization to kick in and volume to increase in sync with consumer behavior.  It's all about timing and an important lesson for the mobile industry heading into Q3 and Q4."
