Methodology

How we measure impact

For us, impact doesn't end at the scan, click or first purchase. An activation only succeeds once it wins new buyers, they come back, and lasting purchase behaviour follows.

That's why we follow a simple growth logic:
Growth = Penetration × Purchase frequency

More growth happens when a brand reaches more relevant buyers and they repurchase more often. We make this development visible through four metrics.

1

Penetration

How many new buyers does an activation reach?

Penetration shows whether a brand actually expands its reach among relevant buyers, the foundation for long-term growth.

2

Repeat-purchase rate

How many activated buyers come back?

It shows whether a first purchase turns into a recurring customer relationship.

3

Time to Repeat

How quickly does the next purchase happen?

The shorter the time to repeat purchase, the faster purchase interest turns into a purchase habit.

4

Customer ROI

What long-term business value does DiALOGiFY create?

For us, ROI means more than short-term revenue minus cost. What matters is the lasting value an activation creates for the business. This includes, for example:

  • Marketing opt-ins
  • Consumer feedback
  • Consumer insights
  • Referrals
  • Repeat buyers
  • New customers
  • further customer assets

Each of these customer assets can be assigned a long-term economic value. This creates the Earned Customer Value.

Customer ROI = Earned Customer Value − project cost

As the data base grows, this value can be refined further. For example, repeat buyers could in future be valued more highly than first-time buyers due to their higher customer lifetime value.

No single metric answers the growth question alone. Only the interplay of penetration, repeat-purchase rate, time to repeat and customer ROI shows whether an activation creates lasting brand growth.

DiALOGiFY connects activation, buyer data and repeat purchase into a Customer Momentum System, so individual campaigns create measurable, lasting business value.
