Q4 is the cheapest and most effective time of year to re-engage your audience. Retargeting costs drop, and players are already primed to spend. Your job? Make sure they land in your store.

Important to know

Publishers who combine in-game banners with out-of-game channels like email, social checkout links, and influencer campaigns see stronger DAU-to-store conversion.

Key advice

Seasonal campaigns that layer 3+ touch points (in-game + retargeting + email + community) see the highest ARPU uplift.

Checklist

Segment and retarget lapsed/VIP players with special offers. Brief community managers and influencers on upcoming drops.

Plan ahead

Why top publishers start preparing months in advance, and how to build your seasonal campaign calendar.

Design for seasonality

Make your store feel festive. From themed banners to seasonal checkouts, small tweaks can drive big lifts.
