Measuring the impact of email and in-app messaging campaigns

Accurately measuring the impact of email and in-app messaging campaigns is crucial for understanding their effectiveness in driving user engagement and retention. By tracking key metrics, marketers can refine their strategies and optimize future campaigns for better results.

Key aspects of measuring campaign impact include:

• Defining KPIs: Establish clear metrics aligned with campaign goals (e.g., open rates, click-through rates, conversion rates)
• Attribution modeling: Determine how to credit conversions across multiple touchpoints
• Cohort analysis: Compare behavior of users who received campaigns versus those who didn't
• Engagement trends: Monitor how user engagement changes over time after campaign exposure
• Retention impact: Measure the effect of campaigns on user retention rates
• ROI calculation: Assess the financial impact of campaigns relative to their cost

For example, an e-commerce app might track how a series of personalized product recommendation emails affects purchase frequency and average order value among recipients.
