Revenue Calculations

Revenue per Send

Revenue per Send = Total Revenue / Total Sends
Key efficiency metric—how much each message earns.

EPC (Earnings per Click)

EPC = Total Revenue / Total Clicks
Indicates click quality and offer performance.

ROAS (Return on Ad Spend)

ROAS = Revenue / (Sends × Cost per Segment)
Your return on messaging investment.

Optimizing Revenue

By Creative

Identify top revenue-generating creatives:
  1. Run Performance Report by creative
  2. Sort by Revenue per Send
  3. Use top performers more, retire underperformers

By Audience

Find high-value segments:
  1. Run report by custom dimension (state, signup source, etc.)
  2. Create audiences of high-revenue segments
  3. Prioritize these in campaigns

By Offer

Compare offer performance:
  1. View offers sorted by EPC
  2. Focus on high-EPC offers
  3. Retire low performers

Troubleshooting

Check:
  • Are postbacks configured correctly?
  • Is the click_id being passed?
  • Is the conversion within the attribution window?
Verify:
  • Payout amounts are current
  • All conversions are being captured
  • Attribution window is appropriate
Ensure:
  • Postbacks aren’t firing multiple times
  • Manual imports don’t duplicate platform data
