Campaign Performance Benchmarker

Good campaign performance benchmarks vary by industry and channel. For example, a good CTR for social media ads ranges from 0.9% to 1.8% depending on the industry, while email open rates typically fall between 20% and 25%. Conversion rates generally range from 2% to 5%, and a healthy ROAS (Return on Ad Spend) is typically 4:1 or higher. Use our benchmarker to compare your specific metrics against industry averages.

To benchmark marketing campaigns, start by identifying your key performance indicators (KPIs) such as CTR, conversion rate, CPC, and ROAS. Then compare these metrics against industry averages for your specific channel and sector. Track performance over time to identify trends, and use tools like the Campaign Performance Benchmarker to get an objective grade.
