​
This KPI serves to validate if your multi-channel marketing strategy is working to drive inbound leads.

Delivery Rate ✔️
Are your messages being received by your customers?
​Salesmsg's Analytics tab makes answering the question of deliverability simpler than ever. The goal here is simple, as close to a 100% delivery rate as possible.

If we have a high rate of undelivered messages, we can help with data cleanup through number validation, SMS compliance (10DLC), and adhering to best practices for mass messaging.

Reply Rate 📣
Are your customers engaging with you via text?
We know customers will read our texts with up to a 90% open rate in the first 3 minutes but if there's no reply or action taken, was the text worth it?
​
What is a good reply rate for SMS? The answer is, 'it depends' on a variety of factors including your customer's lifecycle stage, your primary audience, your messaging frequency, content. If you have specific questions about how to boost your reply rate, reach out to our Success team. We're here to help.

Clickthrough Rate 💻
Similarly to email and social marketing, the goal of engaging with customers via SMS is to influence behavior but do you know how many of those customers are opening the links and pages we're sharing?
​
In Salesmsg, we have a built-in link shortener tool to provide data on exactly how many of your contacts are taking action on your texts. Salesmsg will automatically track your clickthrough rate by using our link shortener in your Broadcasts.
​

​How to calculate: (Number of Clicks ÷ Total Number of Contacts Sent Message) * 100

Conversion Rate 📈
Clickthrough rates are great to evaluate whether contacts are engaging with your text message content, however, engagement does not guarantee ROI. By measuring how many customers get to the 'finish line', we can link a text message to ROI for your business. Conversion Tracking gives you the ability to easily create and track Conversions and Revenue to measure how your Broadcasts are driving your conversion rates.

Average Time to First Response 🕐
The average time it takes the members of your team to respond to the first incoming messages
​
Text messaging is the ideal channel for immediate communication with an average open rate in the first few minutes but you only have a few minutes to capitalize on your customer's interest. Measuring how efficiently your business replies to your inbound conversations will have a dramatic impact on your long-term customer engagement.
