Facebook advertising CPMs were highest for the telecommunications ($9.40) industry and lowest for the gaming ($2.76) vertical in Q1, according to data released by Salesforce Marketing Cloud. Although Facebook has since updated its CPC measurement, Salesforce’s data shows that in Q1 the professional services vertical saw the highest average cost-per-click, of $1.12, more than 5 times that of telecom advertisers ($0.21). Meanwhile advertisers from organizations and associations (3.72%), retail (3.37%) and telecom (3.37%) appear to have crafted the most compelling creative, averaging the highest click-through rates for the quarter.
