When you put together a campaign, you\u2019ll have some business objectives in mind. These can often be quite general, like raise awareness or boost sales. Or they can be more specific, like increasing traction among a certain demographic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever the business goals, one of the most reliable ways of measuring the success of the campaign is to deploy one or more customer engagement metrics. We\u2019ll go through some of the most effective ones to consider, so your measuring efforts measure up.<\/span><\/p>\n

Customer engagement: what do we mean?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Think of a conversation. To be meaningful and rewarding, it needs to be two-way. This way, both parties are getting something out of it and hopefully productivity results.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This is what we\u2019re after with customer engagement. It\u2019s a reciprocal process: the business offers something of interest, and the customer latches on. Dialog results, culminating in a sale and an ongoing relationship.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now consider a lecture. All too easily, a largely one-way situation like this can lose one or two (or maybe more) students in the room. If the person delivering the speech isn\u2019t careful, the audience can lose interest and their minds can start to wander. This is what happens when a business fails to take on board the importance of customer engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what does customer engagement look like in practice?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are two thoughts. Firstly, a business that offers a product that addresses a particular need and makes an effort to deliver that product to the kind of customer that tends to have that need, then you\u2019ll attract some engagement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Secondly, once you have that engagement, you can prolong and develop it by offering excellent customer service. This can be during the sales process, as well as in the follow-up, in terms of delivering fulfillment and customer success. If you demonstrate great and consistent customer service, you\u2019ll keep that engagement going.<\/span><\/p>\n

Customer engagement metrics for your business<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are numerous key customer engagement metrics out there. Too many to employ all at once. So, let\u2019s highlight some of the most effective.<\/span><\/p>\n

Your team can collect and analyze these metrics in numerous ways, depending on what you\u2019re measuring. Some of the best sources include your CRM, social media, and customer surveys. But it\u2019s also worth investing in additional tools like white label marketing software<\/a>. These third-party tools personalize your brand identity and services and will significantly reduce the time you spend aggregating engagement metrics.<\/p>\n

1. The Net Promoter Score (NPS)<\/span><\/h3>\n

This is one of the most popular metrics. It delves into how trusted your business and\/or products are. It reveals how likely a customer is to recommend them to others.<\/span><\/p>\n

How does it work? There are a number of varieties, but here\u2019s the simplest. Two questions are asked:<\/span><\/p>\n

    1. What rating would the customer give the product or business? This is usually on a scale from 1 to 10, so is very straightforward and empirical.<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Why did the customer give this rating? This is an open-ended question so asks for a qualitative response.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The first question gives you a score out of 10, which you can split into three categories:<\/span><\/p>\n
