Benchmark Report
About This Report
This report is representative of Facebook®
ad impressions delivered by customers
leveraging Nanigans advertising automation software. It includes ad spend on both
Facebook desktop and Facebook mobile, and excludes Facebook Exchange.
For reporting purposes Nanigans categorizes Facebook ad types to align with broad direct
response marketing objectives as follows: Unpublished Page Post (All) includes Link, Photo,
Video, and Multi-Product Unpublished Page Post Ads. Mobile App Install (All) includes
standard (image) and Video Mobile App Install Ads. Domain includes External URL Ads
delivered on the right-hand side on Facebook desktop. All Other Ad Types includes other ad
types such as Page Post Ads and Desktop App Install Ads.
The vast majority of Nanigans customers are direct response advertisers at ecommerce,
gaming, and other internet and mobile companies. Many leverage Nanigans’ ROI-based
bidding algorithms, which focus on reaching high-value and high-ROI audiences (e.g. those
who make purchases) and typically cost more to reach. As such, the data in this report
should not be used as a proxy for the overall Facebook marketplace.
The data in this report should not be compared to any prior or future benchmark reports
due to variations in the dynamic nature of the data set each new quarter.

CPC
Cost per click
Costs on a per-click basis for Facebook
ads decreased 17% globally in Q1 2015
to an average of $0.53 among advertisers
leveraging Nanigans software. Nanigans
attributes the return of CPCs to pre-
holiday levels to less demand following
the competitive Q4 ecommerce shopping
season.
Less post-holiday demand in the
marketplace is the primary cause behind
the seasonal 32% quarter-over-quarter
decrease in ecommerce CPCs. From Q1
2014, CPCs were down 14%.
Gaming advertisers experienced average
CPCs of $0.80 in Q1, which was up 11%
from the previous quarter. Year-over-year
CPC growth was 69%.

CPM
Cost per 1,000 impressions
CPMs on Facebook desktop and mobile

decrease 24% in Q1, averaging $3.74.
