The following data categories are visualised: Gender statistics, Demography, Conversion rate, Progress, Ranking, Comparative data, Genre analysis, Reach analysis, Assessment of marketing campaigns.
“Marketing Analytics” gives detailed insights into the performance of your price promotions. An intelligent algorithm enables price campaigns to be identified, evaluated and compared, with direct reference to the sales achieved.
