Sales reporting for tracking customer value: Revenue per album and Estimated Purchase Value
Analyzing an average dollar amount for each album created is a great metric for operators to monitor how business is doing. Sales reporting built into PicThrive can be a quick way to calculate that current and potential customer value.
Another way to monitor the health of the business is to monitor the demand for each service or price point. Operators can use an estimated purchase value to determine how much people are willing to pay for photos and videos.
Best practice for year round operators:_ Check these reports quarterly and then adjust your pricing to maximize your needs._
Best practice for post-season review:_ Check these reports to view the total count of albums by price value and compare month to month during peak season, as well as looking at the season as a whole year over year. _

Marketing reporting to measure gallery activity: Review clicks and share clicks
What can operators learn from tracking the share and review clicks from their galleries? A little insight into customer behaviors can inspire new marketing and promotion ideas, says Marketing professional, and PicThrive advisor, Carrie Mamantov.
“You always want to be looking for a pattern in customer behavior, and sometimes you may not know why it’s valuable at first. Asking your guests, using surveys or sending them a thank you, can open the door to learning a little more about what your best guests are thinking about your services.”
With a little math, and analytical thinking you can uncover some pretty valuable insights from these free marketing reports. For example, knowing your average views per gallery and which galleries are way above that average gives operators a benchmark for what makes a great customer. If an outfitter or operator has a social media goal of increasing followers, encouraging the sharing feature from the guests’ albums could test whether there is a link between guests sharing and getting new followers.

- How many total people are interacting with my brand?
