Revenue Performance

The Revenue Performance section shows the revenue boost achieved from your campaign. The following information is displayed in this section:

  • Incremental revenue due to this campaign: Indicates the additional income directly attributed to a specific campaign. It is calculated as:
    [(ARPU of Target Group – ARPU of Control Group) x Number of Users to whom the campaign was sent], where ARPU is calculated as: (Revenue generated / Number of users to whom the campaign was sent)
  • Boost in revenue due to this campaign: Indicates the percentage increase in revenue achieved from running the campaign compared (revenue generated from Target Group) to the baseline revenue that would have been generated without it (revenue generated from Control Group). It is calculated as:

  • Target Group Revenue: Indicates the total revenue generated by users targeted by the campaign.
  • Control Group Revenue: Indicates the total revenue generated by users not targeted by the campaign (control group).

Key Points to Remember

The Conversion Performance number for All Variants may be equal to or less than the combined Conversion Performance number for each individual variant. For example, if the Conversion Performance number for All Variants is 10500, with Variant A at 5575 and Variant B at 5053, the total for Variants A and B combined is 10628, exceeding the total for All Variants.

This scenario can occur due to the following reasons:

  • For Live campaigns, different variants are delivered to various devices, identified by different GUIDs for the same user. Consequently, the Conversion Performance number for All Variants might not match the sum of the Conversion Performance numbers for each variant. For instance, a user may receive Variant A before uninstalling the app and then receive Variant B after reinstalling it until their identity is established.
  • For Recurring campaigns (user property campaigns), the user can qualify more than once when and receive different message copy each time. For example, the user upgrades to a new plan. In this case, the message copy received by the user before and after upgrading the Membership type can be different.

In both the cases, the same user is counted twice, once for Variant A and once for Variant B. However, when calculating the Conversion Performance number for All Variants, each user is counted only once.

Link Clicks

You can evaluate the performance of different links in a single email campaign using a Click Map for a visual overview and a Breakdown for detailed tabular insights.

Click Map

The Click Map provides a visual representation of your email, highlighting the links that users have clicked. This feature enables you to identify high-performing links and optimize link placement within your email campaigns. By analyzing these insights, you can make data-driven adjustments to your content for improved engagement.

The Click Map overlays your email with color-coded indicators for each link, displaying the total number of clicks. This allows you to evaluate how link placement effectively influences campaign performance.

Color Coded Indicators for Links in Campaign

Color-Coded Indicators for Links in Campaign

Color coding offers an intuitive way to quickly assess click activity across the links in your email. Each color corresponds to a different level of engagement, making it easier to identify which links are performing best. The red color represents the highest number of clicks, followed by orange, yellow, green, and blue, indicating decreasing levels of engagement, while gray represents links with no clicks at all.

If your campaign includes multiple variants, select the email variant from the dropdown to analyze the variant of your interest within the campaigns.

For AMP email campaigns, you can switch to the AMP email by selecting it from the dropdown. By default, it is set to HTML, so ensure you change this setting to AMP to analyze metrics specific to the AMP version of your email.

The Click Map also provides click performance insights based on metrics such as unique clicks and click percentages. You must select metrics from the dropdown list, as shown in the following image:

You can select from the following metrics:

  • Total Clicks: Displays the total number of clicks for each link in the email, including multiple clicks by the same recipient.
  • Unique Clicks: Displays the number of clicks made by unique users, ensuring each user is counted only once.
  • Click Rate: Click rate represents the percentage of total campaign clicks attributed to a specific link. It is calculated as [(Clicks on a specific link / Total link clicks in campaign) * 100].

The Breakdown section displays link click details in a tabular format, organized by color to represent the highest to lowest number of clicks.

Under the Breakdown section, you can also view the details of users who clicked on your email campaign. Additionally, you can sort the data by total clicks, unique clicks, and click rates for better analysis.

Email Campaign Errors

Delivery Errors

Delivery errors occur when the ESP reports a failure in delivering the email to the recipient's inbox. These errors typically happen after the email has been successfully dispatched to the ESP but cannot be delivered to the end user. Common reasons include:

  • Soft Bounce
  • Hard Bounce
  • Dropped

Soft Bounce

A soft bounce indicates that mail bounced due to one of the following reasons even though the email address was valid and the email message reached the recipient's mail server:

  • The mailbox was full (the user has exceeded their storage quota)
  • The recipient server was down
  • The message was rejected as spam
  • The message was too large for the recipient's inbox.
    CleverTap campaign reports include soft bounces and do not mark the users as unsubscribed.

Hard Bounce

A hard bounce indicated that the email was returned to the sender and was completely undeliverable. However, common reasons it got rejected include:

  • The email address does not exist
  • The recipient's email server has rejected the email permanently

CleverTap campaign reports include hard bounces and mark the users as unsubscribed.

πŸ“˜

Deferred emails

The time for retrying a deferred email and the number of retries depend on the ESP. For SendGrid, the retry period is set to 72 hours.

FAQ

Why are my Viewed and Clicked numbers unusually high? (Why is this in title casing?)

The Viewed and Clicked numbers in your email reports may be inflated due to spam filters, email forwards, or bot activity that automatically opens or clicks links. These interactions are not always from real users and can distort campaign performance data. To minimize false clicks, analyze engagement patterns and use CleverTap’s tracking tools. For more details, refer to Unusually High Email Opens and Clicks.
