But how can you understand the performance of each of those sources over time? And how can you understand each of those sources' impacts on other metrics, like the number of unique advocates or the number of account openings the source has driven?

Our Top Promotion Sources report allows you to determine which promotion sources have had an impact on your programs' metrics and when. This valuable information helps you make an informed decision to prioritize your promotional efforts on high-performing sources and change up your strategy on sources that need a little love.
