- US spend YOY – Peak retail
Thoughtful clients’ Meta spend in the US market for peak retail in November and December 2023 witnessed a year-over-year increase of 71%. Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) experienced a surge of 73%, indicating heightened efficiency and effectiveness of campaigns. The data unveils a clear trend indicating heightened demand among US consumers for Australian brands’ summer and resort collections during this period.
2. Australian spend YOY – Peak Retail
Australian fashion brands can capitalise on the domestic market’s growth potential, as indicated by the 85% year-over-year increase in Meta spend. With a 105% increase in revenue, brands can expect significant returns on their advertising investments. Despite the substantial increase in spend and revenue, the 11% increase in ROAS indicates a balanced approach to advertising investments.
3. Cost per click deep dive
Fashion brands operating in Australia benefit from a stable advertising landscape, with only a modest 3% increase in Cost Per Click (CPC) since 2021. This stability allows brands to plan their advertising budgets effectively and maintain cost-effectiveness in their campaigns. In contrast, brands targeting the US market must navigate a highly competitive landscape, with CPCs increasing significantly by 53% over the same period.
