Customer Value Report

The Customer Value report supplies metrics on the aggregate value that new customers provide your program as well as their purchasing behavior. These metrics are aggregated at the partner level and can be displayed over a defined time period.

Use this report to evaluate the value brought in by a given promotion. For example, you can set the Date Range filter to Black Friday weekend, then set the Evaluation Period filter to 180 days to see how many of the new customers you acquired over that weekend ended up purchasing again within the following 180 days.

Report data reference

Column

Description

Media

The name of the partner who acquired customers.

Customers Acquired

This is a count of new customers who interacted with the partner at any point in their path to conversion during the selected date range.

Orders Per Customer

This is the average number of orders made by newly-acquired customers during the evaluated period.

Customers Who Repurchased

This is the percentage of newly-acquired customers who made at least two orders during the evaluated period.

Purchase Frequency

This is a measure that returns the following:

(Evaluated Period * Customers Acquired) / Actions

In other words, the closer the purchase frequency is to the number of days in the Evaluated Period (or greater than), the better reflection this is on the partner's ability to convert customers.

Revenue per Customer

This is the average generated revenue per newly-acquired customer for each partner over the evaluated period.

Margin per Customer

This is the average generated margin per newly-acquired customer for each partner over the evaluated period.

Revenue

This option shows the revenue generated by the newly-acquired customers for each partner over the evaluated period.

Margin

This option shows the margin generated by the newly-acquired customers for each partner over the evaluated period.
