How to calculate marketing roi
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.
