Many businesses are prone to seasonal ups and downs, especially those linked to goods and content consumption. Consumers\u2019 interest grows around holidays, and shopping frenzies drive ad inventory\u2019s CPM up to the sky. But as soon as people are back to their routine and their bank accounts are on a diet, interest in consumption grows thinner. For publishers, it\u2019s a source of constant uncertainty.<\/p>\n<p>Nevertheless, let\u2019s not lose our marbles just yet and look at the numbers.<\/p>\n<p>We have compared the RPM of two publishers of different sizes throughout the period from December 2023 to December 2024, and both have showed an ad revenue drop in Q1.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7355 size-full\" title=\"Q1 RPM drop\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.refinery89.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/a03bc538-040d-45ab-b379-84421319375d-e1700131617466.png\" alt=\"Q1 RPM drop\" width=\"526\" height=\"272\" srcset=\"https:\/\/refinery89.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/a03bc538-040d-45ab-b379-84421319375d-e1700131617466.png 526w, https:\/\/refinery89.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/a03bc538-040d-45ab-b379-84421319375d-e1700131617466-300x155.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 526px) 100vw, 526px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-7354 size-full aligncenter\" title=\"Q1 RPM drop\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.refinery89.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/498e1829-8355-4ccd-a024-6490690779ba.png\" alt=\"Q1 RPM drop\" width=\"528\" height=\"285\" srcset=\"https:\/\/refinery89.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/498e1829-8355-4ccd-a024-6490690779ba.png 528w, https:\/\/refinery89.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/498e1829-8355-4ccd-a024-6490690779ba-300x162.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><\/p>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"1518\">As we can see in the graphs, January drops (marked in yellow) occur no matter your RPM rate is.

Advertisers tend to spend heavily in Q4, particularly during the holiday season, leading to a higher ad fill rate. However, as Q1 begins, advertisers typically reduce their budgets, provoking a subsequent drop in RPM for publishers.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Ad inventory performance evaluation<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>The beginning of the year is also when many brands revise their previous ad campaigns&#8217; conversion and ROI performance. This evaluation period can result in a temporary pause or reduction in ad buys.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>End of fiscal year budgeting<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Many companies wrap up their fiscal years in December, leading to a renewed focus on budgeting and planning in January.
