Is a high CPM a problem for a pilates studio?
We'll be straight about it: the account paid about AED 81 for every 1,000 ad views, which is high for Dubai. The ads were aimed at women who live or spend time within 10 km of the studio, a small audience that many local businesses bid for. A cheap CPM often means cheap placements and the wrong people, so we judged the account on cost per conversation, which stayed at AED 22.8.
