What's your strategy when FB/IG CPMs start to trend upward? For most of 2021, my account has seen CPMs under $2 for branding/awareness campaigns, but starting in May we're seeing CPMs creep up past $3. Thinking we'll need to create some scenarios on how overall investment will change if CPMs continue to increase (invest more in these platforms to increase reach, diversify to other platforms where we're not seeing as much fluctuation.) Thoughts?

Because of the “return to normal,” more advertisers are resuming advertising on all social platforms so that means more competition to reach your audiences and likely, higher CPMs. Overall CPMs were pretty low/efficient for those still advertising last year but they’re now creeping back up and anticipate this will continue to be the norm. There are a few articles out there already reporting on this.

Do you have any benchmarks from pre-pandemic times? If you work with platform reps, you can ask what the avg CPMs they’re seeing in your specific industry and use that as a benchmark to run your future forecasts. You can also try revising your targeting and audiences. Good time to explore new platforms if they align with your audience (Reddit and Snap tend to be pretty efficient but doesn’t align with all audiences). Hope this helps!

$50k real is significant. Let’s be conservative and say that a 70 year old couple spends $100k per year. That’s SS meeting half of your required expenses.

Current law with current demographics shows that SS can fulfill 79% of benefits into perpetuity.

Assuming SS will disappear means working decades longer than needed
