A high entry count feels great. But did those entrants match your ideal customer? Did they convert? Did referral traffic stick? Vanity metrics are easy. Meaningful data takes one extra step — and it's worth it. What campaign metric do you actually trust?
Spring = perfect time to audit your marketing. Are your campaigns driving real results or just impressions? ShortStack's analytics show you exactly what's working — so you can double down on what matters. What do you review first each quarter?

Are coupon codes a growth engine or a brand killer?
Pros: Quick customer acquisition, easy data collection, & reactivating inactive buyers.
Cons: Lower profit margins, diminished brand perception, risk of "unearned" discounts from coupon-leak sites.
