Campaign ROI = ((Revenue Attributed - Campaign Cost) / Campaign Cost) x 100

Why marketing roi matters for Customer.io users

Engagement metrics tell you whether people interact with your messages. ROI tells you whether those interactions generate more value than they cost. A high-engagement campaign with negative ROI is a more serious problem than a low-engagement campaign that quietly drives profitable conversions.

Mapping campaign ROI into your metric tree connects financial outcomes to the engagement metrics that drive them. This gives you a clear view of which campaigns are worth scaling and which need rethinking.
