Reporting and Analytics:Glean insights that drive results
Why are we talking about data?
Data can make you go crazy.
Common causes ofAnalysis Paralysis: Data overload – too much
information No clear understanding of what
you’re collecting Why are you collecting this data What is the data telling you
Where is your data coming from?
Can’t live with it, Can’t live without it
Without data you can’t do analysis… so there is nothing to report
Data can help you gain insights in: What is happening? Why is it happening? What is going to happen?
Help is on the way…
Today let’s review:
1. Key data points to use in Bronto
2. What should you Analyze?
3. How to make data useable and approachable?
4. How to report on the insights that were found
Basic metrics to measureSpecifically for an Email Marketer
Understand why…
…you are doing what you’re doing?
This is what my boss told me to do. This is what we did last year. It looks good to me and I think this will work. All the cool kids are doing it.

Revenue
Revenue per Email (RPE) will tell you how effective an email is performing for your company. This is the amount of revenue generated per message delivered.
This is extremely useful when figuring out when to cut out emails from your plan. This is also extremely handy when finding the results of a test.
Example: Is it worth sending 5 messages in my welcome series or 6 messages?
Revenue
In 2011 a MarketingSherpa survey found that just 33
percent of email marketers track RPE; and no one reported
tracking ROI! 90 percent or more of the respondents were
only looking at open and click-through rate.
Revenue
Average Order Value (AOV) will tell you the average value of all transactions that have taken place
Example:
If 10 orders total $100…
Then the AOV = $10
Contact Growth
Look at your new contacts & lost contacts…

Increases and Decreases
To find out the performance between data points use the following formula.
Example:
2010 Total Revenue = $150,000
2011 Total Revenue = $300,000
Total Revenue increases 100% from 2011 to 2010
Create a Baseline
A Baseline is a measurement and/or calculation used as a basis for comparison.
Calculating your baseline
1. Start recording your metrics Start with at least the past 30 days worth of data
2. Find the overall average of your send(s)Calculate the average by summing all the sent, delivered, opens, clicks, and conversions... then calculate the average overall rates
DO NOT do an average calculation of all the rates

My favorite question…
How do my metrics compare to everyone else’s?
They don’t…
Number of Stores 3 in 1 city 9,000+ in 60 countries
Hours per week open
70 86
Employees 30 90,000
Items on the menu 15 40
Customers per day 300 10 million
Worth $100K $1 billion
The problem is…
There are way too many variables: Sample Size Subject Line Send Time Email Creative Industry Product Offering Market Positioning Sales Cycle Promotions/Discount Offered Seasonality List health/hygiene
Solution: How are you doing?
The key word here is YOU! It’s less about how everyone else is doing and how do we compare?
Use these aids only if you:
1. Are new to email mktg2. Have NO data of your
own3. Need a jumpstart
Otherwise…
1. Focus less on others
2. Set baselines based on your performance

Collect and Organize
Delivery Groups are a collection of deliveries grouped together for the purposes of segmenting and reporting. You can add individual deliveries, messages, or automated message rules to a delivery group.
Delivery Groups will bring organization to your data to help you see right through all the noise.
Delivery Groups
How to create…
To add a message, delivery, post, and/or automated message rule to a delivery group:
1. Go to Messages->Delivery Groups.
2. Click on the name of the delivery group you want to add deliveries to.
3. You will be brought to the Overview page for that delivery group.
4. Depending on the deliveries you want to add, click Add Deliveries, Add Message, or Add Automated Message Rule.
5. Select the deliveries you want to add.
Delivery Groups
Be sure to create the following groups:
Time Month, Quarter, Year
Campaigns
Message Type
Tests
Add messages or deliveries to the delivery group at the time of send or after. This takes just 2 clicks and it will take less than a minute to do.
Use your Delivery Groups to create your baselines and gain more visibility.
