A festive discount is a price the buyer remembers, the anchor is set by marketplaces rather than by you, and your break-even target moves the moment the offer goes live.
Consumer advertisers bid the same inventory, so B2B pays the festive premium without the festive demand — unless your customers sell into the season, which moves your peak to July.
Advertising is the only lever you can move in an afternoon. Everything that delivers the order is slow — which makes over-performance a risk to plan against.
Holding the budget back and spending it on the peak means arriving with no audiences and no data at the moment inventory costs most. Three phases, not one.
The season is regionally staggered, the dates move each year, and the peaks nobody bids on are the ones outside the national week. Build a map, not a date.
Diwali CPMs run 40-80% above January. Hold your budget flat and your ad set drops below its learning threshold. Here is what festive actually requires.

Stale, conflated and fabricated are three different problems with three different fixes — and the feedback button is the slowest lever of the lot.
Around 97% of these files are never fetched and Google says it does not use them. The file has a real purpose — it is just not the one you are being sold.
A score can be diluted by volume. A theme cannot. When reviews are read rather than counted, eight matching complaints become a sentence in an answer.
