When you share a recommendation or Offer link in your newsletter, you'll get results, but you won't know which email drove them. Was it Edition 57 or Edition 58? Your welcome email or your weekly send? In-Email Campaigns answers that question.
With In-Email Campaigns, you create a unique tracked link for each placement. SparkLoop then attributes every click and conversion back to the exact campaign it came from, so you can see what's working and double down on it.
Before you start
In-Email Campaigns work with any of the following:
A specific paid or free newsletter recommendation
A brand Offer or internal Offer
Your Recommendations Hub
Your Offers Hub
If you haven't set up any recommendations or Offers yet, get those in place first, then come back here.
New to Offers or recommendations? Check out Introducing Offers and Introducing the Recommendations Hub to get started.
How to create a campaign
In your SparkLoop dashboard, go to Tools > In-email campaigns and click + New campaign.
Choose what you want to recommend:
Recommendations Hub
Offers Hub
Specific Newsletter
Specific Offer
When you select Specific Newsletter, a dropdown appears to choose which recommendation to use:
Or select Specific Offer to choose from your active Offers:
Give your campaign a name. Use the email edition or placement it's going into, for example, Newsletter Edition 57 β Main Sponsorship Slot. This makes it easy to identify later.
Click Create Campaign. You'll see your campaign detail page with the Campaign Links section. Copy the Email Link and paste it into your email. Your ESP will automatically replace the subscriber email merge tag so each click is tracked to the right subscriber.
Tip: Create a new campaign for every email you send the link in. That way, you get a clean, separate performance view for each placement.
How to track performance
Once your email is sent and subscribers start clicking, head to Tools > In-email campaigns to see how each campaign is performing.
At the top you'll see your overall Clicks, Confirmed Earnings, and Avg. Earnings across all campaigns. Below that, each campaign is listed individually with its type, creation date, performance, and earnings.
This makes it easy to compare placements side by side. If Edition 57 outperformed Edition 58, you'll know exactly why, and you can use that to plan future sends.
Ways to use In-Email Campaigns
Here are some common placements worth tracking separately:
Sponsorship slots. Track a brand Offer placed as the main sponsor in a specific edition.
Footer links. Measure how much revenue your persistent footer recommendation or Offers Hub link is generating.
Welcome emails. See exactly how much your welcome sequence earns from recommendations and Offers.
Automated sequences. Track a 30-day re-engagement email promoting your Recommendations Hub to see whether it's pulling its weight.
Dedicated sends. If you send a one-off email about your Offers or top newsletter picks, create a campaign to measure the uplift.
