How do I measure the success of my personalizations?

To measure the succes of your personalizations, you can best check the the statistics. To interpret them correctly it is good to know what the statistics mean and how they are calculated. In this article you will read about:

Conversion

The conversion is calculated based on the Attribution you have configured at the personalization. An example of this is a Purchase event, when showing recommendations, or EmailOptin, when showing a newsletter overlay

Note that every attribution event is counted towards the conversion, if the event is triggered within the Attribution Window. This means that the purchase event doesn’t necessarily needs to have the product shown in the personalization. Every purchase event counts. Purchase are of course deduplicated based on the order ID’s in the events.

Available statistics

It is possible you see less statistics in your overview than discussed in this article. When you click on ‘columns’ in the personalization overview, you can add or remove different statistics:

FAQ's statistics personalization

Why don't the statistics show?

You need a minimum of 100 views, to correctly show statistics.

Why are the statistics of Spotler Activate different than my other platforms?
Every platform has it’s own way of measuring and calculating their statistics. Frontend behavior of the customer and extensions as add blockers can already prevent one platform from tracking, while another still can track. The way of calculating can also differ per platform, while some platforms use unique visitors, others calculate with all visitors, which can really make difference in rates.
How is it possible that the revenue of the product is more than the total sales of this product?
The revenue of the personalization is calculated based on the accumulated revenue of unique orders. This does not filter on the specific product which is shown in the personalization.
Why are the statistics changing, even if the personalization is paused?
If the personalization was shown before and there are still conversions made within the attribution window, this will still be counted towards the statistics of the personalization.
What happens to the statistics if we have a frontend and backend purchase, won't they be counted twice in the statistics?
As long as the order IDs of the events are identical, Spotler Activate will deduplicate these events. Only unique orders are counted towards the statistics.
Why is there such a big difference between my variants?
Keep in mind that some settings have a big impact on the performance of your variant. For example, if you have a variant which is shown once a week, while another variant is always shown, you will see a significant difference in the statistics.
