Overview
This section provides a comprehensive overview of the channel's performance against broad metrics like Channel Reachability, New Subscribers added, Unsubscribers, Users Engaged and Total Revenue generated.
Let's go over each card:
Reachability
Reachability is a measure of whether or not a user can be reached through the various channels of engagement. Thus, this card indicates the number of users that can be engaged via Email Notifications, at present.
- Reachability Percentage: As highlighted in the visual above, the Email reachability of your entire user base is also indicated as a percentage value, helping you gauge the viability of leveraging this channel to engage all your users.
Please Note
Channel reachability is calculated over the entire lifetime of your users and is updated daily to factor in the reachability of new users and the changing channel preferences of existing users. For the same reason, Reachability cannot be analyzed for a particular time frame.
New Subscribers
All users who have shared an email address on your app or website, within the selected time frame, are considered towards the total number of New Subscribes.
Unsubscribes
All users who have unsubscribed to your channel by clicking the Unsubscribe link in your Email campaign, within the selected time frame are considered towards the total number of Unsubscribes.
How Users Can Unsubscribe
We have made it extremely easy for your users to convey their channel preferences with our smart Unsubscribe Link. Unsubscribing is a simple two-step process and ensures that all users who opt-out are automatically deemed unreachable through Email.
Click the 'Insert Unsubscribe Link' button while drafting your email campaign, as shown below, and we'll take care of the rest.
Users Engaged
Indicates unique users that have received at least one Email campaign within the selected time frame. If a user gets multiple _Emails, they will be counted towards the total number of _Users Engaged* only once to avoid double counting.
Revenue
Indicates a sum of the revenue generated by the Total Conversions tracked for all the Email campaigns within the selected time frame.
Revenue numbers are always shown in the currency selected by you while setting up Revenue Mapping.
Please Note
If you have not specified a Conversion Event for a campaign while creating it, or if the specified Conversion Event is not mapped as a Revenue Event, then Revenue will not be tracked for it. Detailed read on how Revenue Tracking works.
Tags
Tags help you organize your campaigns and access them quickly. The below shows the tag-based performance per campaign.
As you can see the tags welcome
and festive_offer
performed the best and were a part of high revenue-generating campaigns.
Control Group report
This section indicates overall campaign performance v/s control groups for the campaigns where either Universal or Custom control groups have been added.
Based on the 'Conversions' in your Target Group (users who were not part of the CG) and the selected Control Group, you will be able to see the overall Uplift (or downlift) that your campaigns are having. Conversion Uplift is calculated using this formula:
Conversion Uplift = [(Unique Conversion Rate of TG/ Unique Conversion Rate of CG) x 100] - 100
In addition to conversion uplift, you can also calculate the revenue increment through Revenue and Order Uplift.
Formula to calculate Revenue Uplift :
- CG projected total revenue = CG(Total Revenue / Total Sent Count) X TG Total Sent Count
- Revenue Uplift (absolute value) = [TG Revenue - CG Revenue (Projected to TG Volume)]
- Revenue Uplift %= [TG Revenue / CG Revenue (Projected to TG Volume) X 100] - 100
Formula to calculate Order Uplift
- Order Uplift (absolute value)= (TG Order Rate - CG Order Rate) X TG Total Sent Count
- Order Uplift % = (TG Order Rate / CG Order Rate X 100) - 100
Please Note
Control Group report is Visible only when you have created a Universal Control Group or Custom Control Group. Click here to learn how to create one.
Campaigns in which a conversion event is added and selected control group is attached along are only taken into consideration for this analysis.
