Metrics:
β View Count
β Watch Time
β Engagement Rate (likes, shares, comments)
β Click-Through Rate (CTR)
β Retention Rate
β Conversion Rate (after watching)
Detailed Explanation
To assess the effectiveness of mobile and video marketing campaigns, key metrics must be monitored. View Count is a basic measure of how many times a video has been watched. Watch Time indicates the total time viewers spend watching the video, helping determine its content value. Engagement Rate measures how viewers interact with the content via likes, shares, and comments, reflecting the content's appeal. Click-Through Rate (CTR) indicates the percentage of viewers who clicked on a call-to-action, showing effectiveness in directing traffic. Retention Rate tracks how many viewers continue watching the video until the end, and Conversion Rate measures how many viewers took a desired action (like making a purchase) after watching.
Examples & Analogies
Analyzing these metrics is like a coach reviewing a game to determine their team's performance. Just as a coach examines which plays worked and which didnβt, marketers look at View Count and Engagement Rate to identify successful strategies. If a play (or video) doesnβt get the desired outcomes (like CTR or Conversion Rate), adjustments can be made for future performances.
