Rather looking for St. Nicholas gifts
Consumers also started orienting for St. Nicholas gifts almost a month earlier this year. In 2019, searches began on Oct. 15. Last year, this was over 3 weeks earlier on Sept. 27!
However, most toy books this year only went live between Oct. 14 & 26.
So many of the retailers were a month late in distributing their toy flyers, the first versions of which were only published this year between weeks 42 - 44.
Sunday, November 15 was the highest spike in Sinterklaas flyers viewed on the platform. Also, throughout the Sinterklaas period, more than 54% clicked on toy in the leaflets than average.
Average reading time
The average reading time of the toy books was between 2 & 9 minutes. With the books going towards 8 minutes, we also see that the CTR and engagement is much higher.
