• Conversion Rate measures the percentage of website visitors who complete a desired action (purchase, signup, download)
  • Calculated by dividing the number of conversions by the total number of visitors and multiplying by 100
  • Helps evaluate the effectiveness of website design, content, and calls-to-action in driving desired user behaviors
• Click-Through Rate (CTR) represents the percentage of people who click on a specific link, ad, or call-to-action out of the total number who view it
  • Calculated by dividing the number of clicks by the number of impressions (views) and multiplying by 100
  • Useful for measuring the effectiveness of online advertising, email marketing, and other digital marketing campaigns

Engagement Metrics

• Bounce Rate indicates the percentage of visitors who leave a website after viewing only one page
  • Calculated by dividing the number of single-page sessions by the total number of sessions and multiplying by 100
  • High bounce rates may suggest issues with website content, design, or user experience, while low bounce rates indicate visitors find the site engaging and relevant

Customer Metrics

Customer Acquisition

• Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) measures the average cost of acquiring a new customer
  • Calculated by dividing total acquisition costs (marketing and sales expenses) by the number of new customers acquired over a specific period
  • Helps businesses assess the efficiency and profitability of their customer acquisition strategies and channels (paid advertising, content marketing)

Customer Satisfaction and Loyalty

• Net Promoter Score (NPS) gauges customer loyalty and likelihood to recommend a brand, product, or service
  • Calculated by subtracting the percentage of detractors (score 0-6) from the percentage of promoters (score 9-10) on a 0-10 scale
  • Provides insights into customer sentiment and can predict future growth and profitability based on customer advocacy
• Customer Satisfaction Index quantifies overall customer satisfaction with a brand, product, or service
  • Typically measured through surveys using a numeric scale (1-5 or 1-10)
  • Helps identify areas for improvement in customer experience, product quality, and service delivery to enhance customer retention and loyalty

Brand and Market KPIs

Brand Metrics

• Brand Awareness measures the extent to which consumers recognize and recall a brand
  • Typically assessed through surveys, asking respondents about their familiarity with a brand or ability to name brands within a specific category
  • High brand awareness can lead to increased market share, customer loyalty, and perceived value
• Market Share represents a company's sales revenue or unit sales as a percentage of the total market
  • Calculated by dividing a company's sales by total market sales for a specific period
  • Helps businesses assess their competitive position and track changes in market dominance over time

Sales Performance

• Sales Growth measures the increase in sales revenue or unit sales over a specific period (month, quarter, year)
  • Calculated by comparing current period sales to a previous period and expressing the change as a percentage
  • Positive sales growth indicates increasing demand, successful marketing and sales efforts, or expanding market share
• Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are quantifiable measures used to evaluate the success and progress of a company, department, or individual in achieving specific goals
  • Examples include revenue, profit margin, customer retention rate, and employee turnover
  • KPIs should be aligned with business objectives, regularly monitored, and used to inform decision-making and continuous improvement efforts
