SLTV + ARMR Benchmarks
Overall Message Benchmarks
Key Takeaways
Do not sleep on your ‘back in stock’ notifications being turned on for SMS. Not only do we see incredibly high CTR performance, but it remains one of the top EPM opportunities too.
Keyword Opt-in continues to perform as a top message type both for CTR and EPM. If you don’t have a customized Keyword to acquire subscribers yet—create one ASAP. Consider a custom one for a specific product category, i.e. “Snacks” and deliver a specific Welcome Series depending on the Keyword to see even better EPM performance.
Benchmarks Methodology: Eligible Shops are those that installed 90 days prior to Black Friday (2023-11-25) and spent at least $300 on Postscript Marketing in Q4 2023. • SLTV + ARMR Benchmarks are averages at a merchant level across 2023, to account for seasonality. • CTR’s are calculated based only on sent messages that included a link. • A score is measured by dividing first time orders New Subscribers L30 / First Time Orders L30.
