In December, total sales decreased by 16.6%, generating $16,440.95. This decrease compared to the previous month is primarily attributed to a decline in search volume and BFCM activity in November, which drove higher traffic and sales last month. As a result, December experienced a natural decrease in traffic and sales, however year-over-year sales increased.
The 1-pack product contributed 66.9% of total sales, with 188 units sold, generating $8,350.60 in revenue. This represents a slight increase compared to last month.
The 2-pack accounted for the remaining 33.1% of total sales, with 93 units sold, resulting in $8,090.35 in revenue. This reflects a decrease compared to last month.
Year-over-year sales have increased by 15.9%.

During this period, the 1-pack saw an increase in conversion rate, while the 2-pack experienced a decrease in conversion rate. The improvement for the 1-pack was due to reduced ad-driven traffic, as no major sales events were running this month compared to November. In contrast, the 2-pack's conversion rate decreased (despite less ad driven traffic) as it was affected by the absence of the promotional support that had been present in both October and November.
In December, ad spend increased by 10.4%, mainly driven by Sponsored Brand ads, which helped lift ad sales by 7.2%. Despite the increase in spend and sales, impressions declined by 11.3% compared to last month where we had additional traffic due to BFCM. Overall campaign performance remained stable, with ROAS at 3.65 and TACoS slightly increasing to 10%.
