In Q3—especially for retailers—more than half of most marketing teams’ focus is getting ready for the chaos of the upcoming holiday shopping season.
In many ways, this quarter is the calm before the storm during which marketers put their media budgets on tried-and-true channels as they work diligently to prep for Q4.
While Q1 and Q2 are the testing grounds for new tactics that were earmarked to try out this year, poor performing channels and campaign elements have been weeded out by this time and the media mix is highly indicative of where marketers are most confident. So, Q3 is the quarter that generally reflects how the year has come together for a marketing organization, and thus, a good period to analyze for industry benchmarks.
