A PrestaShop pet store saw big seasonal swings — summer flea season, holiday gifting. Flat annual targets meant overspending in troughs and underspending in peaks.

The challenge
A single annual POAS target ignored strong seasonality. In slow months, bidding kept spending into weak demand; in peak months, overly cautious targets left profit on the table.
Approach
Tracked POAS monthly with VAT-aware profit on PrestaShop.
Set seasonal POAS target bands by month.
Scaled budget aggressively in high-POAS peaks.
Tightened targets and paused weak SKUs in troughs.
Pre-built peak-season audiences ahead of demand.
