Discovery sets the stage. While Deal Days ran in early October, many shoppers first came across the products they ultimately purchased in the days and week before the event—through short-form video, social media, or off-platform advertising. Brands that invest in discovery commerce early can build an audience of warm prospects before the next sale kicks off, giving them a powerful head start.

Timing was a key factor in performance. On Amazon and Target, ROAS, CVR, and CTR were strongest on Day 1 as shoppers arrived with intention, ready to take advantage of a relatively short promotional window. By Day 2, Walmart Sponsored Brands ROAS peaked, while Sponsored Products remained evenly profitable for the retailer through the remainder of the event.

Essentials were costly and competitive. Health & Household was the most expensive category to advertise in, while Grocery & Gourmet had the highest CVR. As shoppers continue to prioritize stocking up on everyday goods—particularly during sales like Deal Days and Cyber 5—auction pressure will remain elevated.
