Voucher Codes
Raffle, giveaway campaign or free gift at events? The practical voucher tool is a valuable asset for the easy implementation of promotional campaigns. We will send you the voucher codes for distribution, and then we will handle all the technical processes and the analysis.
Analytics
Audio Analytics
The data supplied by streaming providers hardly makes it possible to create meaningful cross-channel analyses. Different units are used depending on the provider. With Audio Analytics, this data is translated into uniform measurement values so that a better orientation and more precise analysis of the streamed titles is possible.
Amazon Analytics
The Amazon Analytics dashboard displays the Amazon Sales Rank of all products and their respective formats (print, ebook, audiobook), their progress and development. Additionally, the product categories, customer rankings and reviews of this important sales channel are captured.
Trend Data
Intuitive dashboards and KPI boxes deliver same-day trend data from key shops. This means that you will have an overview of short-term trends, bestsellers, sales and revenues of all products in the various channels at your fingertips.
Monthly Sales
View automated year-on-year comparisons, revenue shares of the various business models, or the earnings from individual shops. Numerous informative charts will enable you to monitor business developments in your digital products across long periods of time – and you even have an export function to share all your findings with your team.
Audience Analytics
Extensive audience analytics offer detailed insights into the performance of your audiobooks and the user behaviour in streaming portals: from the full catalogue down to individual titles. This is your chance to get to know your target groups.
Marketing Analytics
The automated sales and revenue-based analysis of previous pricing campaigns offered in Bookwire OS helps simplify future campaigns and marketing efforts. In addition to meaningful KPIs, the results visualise long-term effects following the completion of individual pricing campaigns.
