After managing campaigns in the home & garden space, here are the key patterns I've observed:
📈 Performance Expectations
Performance can vary significantly in this category. Use these benchmarks as rough guidelines rather than strict targets.
🎯 Targeting Strategy
Homeowner interests work well. Age targeting important (30-65). Geographic targeting crucial for climate-appropriate products. Seasonal interest shifts require campaign adjustments.
⚡ Quick Wins
Focus on before/after home transformation videos and leverage the spring home improvement season (march-may) opportunity. These consistently drive the strongest performance in this category.
