Smart Marketing includes built-in analytics that show how your campaigns perform and how much revenue they generate. These insights help you understand what’s working, what isn’t, and where to focus your efforts.


How ROI Works

ROI (Return on Investment) measures how much revenue your email campaigns generate compared to your Smart Marketing spend.

Smart Marketing tracks:

  • Engagement with your emails

  • Actions taken after engagement

  • Revenue tied back to campaign interactions

This allows you to see the financial impact of your marketing efforts, not just opens and clicks.


Attribution Window

When a contact opens an email, Smart Marketing tracks their activity for 10 days.

If the contact:

  • Books a job, or

  • Adds services

within that 10-day window, the resulting revenue is attributed to the campaign.

This attribution window helps connect campaign engagement to real business outcomes.


Key Metrics & What They Mean

You can view analytics at the top of the Campaigns tab. Metrics update automatically when you adjust the date range.

ROI (Return on Investment)

Revenue generated from recipients who engaged with your campaign.

If ROI is low:

  • Refine your audience targeting

  • Test timing and messaging

  • Improve offer relevance


Open Rate

Percentage of delivered emails that were opened.

If open rates are low:

  • Improve subject lines

  • Use clear, recognizable sender names

  • Test different send times


Click-Through Rate (CTR)

Percentage of recipients who clicked at least one link.

If CTR is low:

  • Simplify your email layout

  • Use a strong, visible CTA

  • Reduce competing links


Campaign Send History (Campaigns Page)

You can view detailed send activity for each campaign directly from Smart Marketing > Campaigns.

Each campaign includes a History button that shows what happened every time the campaign was scheduled to run.


What You’ll See in Campaign History

From the History view, you can see:

  • Each processing day the campaign ran

  • How many emails were:

    • Sent

    • Skipped (no eligible audience)

    • Failed (rare cases, such as email service outages)

This view provides transparency into campaign behavior, especially for automated campaigns that run on a recurring schedule.

How to Analyze Campaign Performance

To evaluate performance effectively:

  1. Start with ROI and Net Gain to identify top-performing campaigns

  2. Review open and click rates to understand engagement

  3. Compare results across different campaign types

  4. Adjust segments, templates, or timing based on trends

Use date range filters to spot patterns over time.


Revenue Breakdown & Attributions

To see which campaigns drive the most revenue:

  • Review the Net Gain column on the Campaigns page

  • Open a campaign’s Attributions tab to view:

    • Linked opportunities

    • Service types

    • Revenue per opportunity

    • Attribution dates

This helps you identify which messages convert best and double down on what works.


Best Practices for Improving ROI

  • Target specific, relevant segments

  • Use personalized messaging where appropriate

  • Avoid sending too frequently

  • Monitor results regularly and make small adjustments

Consistent optimization leads to stronger performance over time.
