According to TopDraw, the average CPM rate for online advertising in 2021 was $3.45 compared to over $22 for traditional advertising CPM rates. 

Are CPM rates going up or down?

Business of Apps reports on CPM rates and shows that CPM rates have been on a rocky ride around COVID, but as of April 2022 Facebook CPM rates were at $12.40.  In the last two years Facebook has seen a range in CPMs from $8.80 in March of 2020 up to $17.60 in November of 2021. This should give you some context on a range of CPM rates that you can expect.

The template I used was GREAT! I wasn't sure how it would be for the money, but the value for my purchase was extremely worth it. I spent forever looking for suitable templates online, and nothing held a candle to the level of detail and ease of use of this template. I actually contacted Adam at ProjectionHub for help deciding on which template I needed because there were so many options and my client wanted to do something kind of unique, and Adam got back to me very quickly and offered to help me make any adjustments to the template to better fit my client's needs. My client was blown away by the impressive detail and I looked like a pro thanks to this template. I will be buying more in the future for all of my projection needs!
