WeChat small program on behalf of the operation of the key way of KPI calculation
In the field of WeChat small program on behalf of the operation, the accurate calculation of key performance indicators (KPIs) is an important basis for measuring the effectiveness and success of the operation. It not only helps to assess the performance of the generation operation team, but also provides strong data support for business decision-making and ensures that the small program develops steadily towards the set goals.
I. Define core objectives and KPI dimensions
(i) KPIs related to user growth
- Number of new users
- Calculation method: the number of users who visited the small program for the first time in a specific time period (usually month or week). This data can be obtained directly through the user data analysis tool in the background of WeChat small programs.
- Importance: the number of new users is a fundamental indicator of the attractiveness of the applet and its ability to expand in the market. It reflects the effectiveness of the applet in attracting new users and is a key factor in assessing the effectiveness of promotional activities and market share growth.
- Subscriber growth rate
- Calculation method: (number of new users in the current period - number of new users in the previous period) / number of new users in the previous period × 100%. e.g., last week's number of new users was 500, and this week's number of new users is 600, then the user growth rate is (600 - 500) / 500 × 100% = 20%.
- Importance: The user growth rate reflects the trend and speed of the user growth of the small program, which can help the operation team to understand the development trend of the small program in time, and judge whether the promotion strategy is effective as well as the change of the competitive environment in the market.
(ii) KPIs related to user activity
- Daily Active Users (DAU) and Monthly Active Users (MAU)
- Calculation method: DAU is the number of independent users who visit the small program in a day; MAU is the number of independent users who visit the small program in a month. The same accurate data can be obtained through the WeChat small program background.
- Importance: these two indexes are the core indexes to measure the user activity of applets. DAU reflects the daily user engagement of applets, while MAU demonstrates the long-term user stickiness and coverage of applets. Higher DAU and MAU means that applets have higher user attraction and continuous use value.
- User activity ratio (DAU/MAU)
- Calculation method: the ratio obtained by dividing DAU by MAU. For example, if the DAU of a small program is 1000 and MAU is 5000, the ratio of user activity is 1000 / 5000 = 0.2 (or 20%).
- Importance: the ratio reflects the degree of activity and loyalty of small program users. The higher the ratio, the more frequently users use the small program and the stronger the stickiness, which is an important reference for assessing the quality of small program users and the operation effect.
(iii) KPIs related to user retention
- next-day retention rate
- Calculation method: among the users who visit the small program on the first day, the proportion of users who still visit the small program on the second day. The formula is: the number of users retained on the next day / the number of new users on the first day × 100%. For example, if there are 1,000 new users on the first day, and 400 users are retained on the second day, the retention rate on the next day will be 400 / 1,000 × 100% = 40%.
- IMPORTANCE: Next-day retention rate is an early and critical measure of applet user retention, which reflects how attractive the applet is to new users and how good the initial user experience is. A high next-day retention rate means that the applet is able to quickly capture the interest of users after their first use, prompting them to come back for more.
- seven-day retention rate
- Calculation method: among the users who visit the small program on the first day, the proportion of users who still visit the small program on the seventh day. Calculation formula: number of seven-day retention users / number of new users on the first day × 100%.
- Importance: Compared with the next-day retention rate, the seven-day retention rate better reflects the long-term user retention ability of small programs. It considers whether the applet can continue to provide value to users and maintain their attention and usage habits within a week, and is an important indicator for assessing the user stickiness of the applet and the sustainability of the product.
- monthly retention rate
- Calculation method: among the users who visit the small program in the first month, the proportion of users who still visit the small program in the second month. Calculation formula: number of monthly retained users / number of new users in the first month × 100%.
- Importance: Monthly retention rate is an important indicator of long-term user retention of small programs, which reflects the attractiveness and loyalty of small programs to users in a longer cycle. A high monthly retention rate indicates that the applet has a stable user base and good user reputation, and can continue to provide users with valuable services or content, which is one of the important signs of successful operation of the applet.
(iv) Conversion-related KPIs
- conversion rate
- Specific scenarios and calculations:
- Registration Conversion RateFor small programs that require user registration, the registration conversion rate refers to the ratio of the number of users who have completed registration to the number of users who have accessed the small program. The formula is: number of registered users / number of users accessing the applet × 100%. e.g., if there are 1,000 visits to the applet during a certain period of time, and 200 of them complete the registration, the registration conversion rate will be 200 / 1,000 × 100% = 20%.
- Purchase conversion rate (e-commerce applet)In e-commerce applets, the purchase conversion rate refers to the ratio of the number of users who complete the purchase behavior to the number of users who enter the product page. The formula is: the number of users who buy / the number of users who enter the product page × 100%. Assuming that there are 500 users who enter the product page and 50 of them complete the purchase, the purchase conversion rate is 50 / 500 × 100% = 10%.
- Appointment Conversion Rate (Service Applet): For small programs that provide service reservations, the reservation conversion rate is the ratio of the number of users who successfully submit reservations to the number of users who visit the reservation page. The formula is: number of users who successfully made an appointment / number of users who visited the appointment page × 100%.
- Importance: Conversion rate is one of the key indicators to measure the operational effectiveness of applets, which directly reflects the ability of applets to convert visiting users into actual actions (e.g. registration, purchase, reservation, etc.). A high conversion rate means that the applet performs well in guiding users to complete their target behaviors, and is able to effectively achieve business value and operational goals.
- Specific scenarios and calculations:
(v) Communication-related KPIs
- sharing rate
- Calculation method: the ratio of the number of users sharing the applet to the number of users visiting the applet. Calculation formula: the number of sharing users / the number of users accessing the applet × 100%. e.g., if the applet has 1000 visits on a certain day, and 200 of them have shared the applet, the sharing ratio is 200 / 1000 × 100% = 20%.
- Importance: The sharing rate reflects the degree of recognition and willingness of users to spread the applet. A high sharing rate means that the content or function of the applet is attractive and users are willing to actively share it with others, thus expanding the spread and influence of the applet and bringing potential new users.
- Recruitment costs
- Calculation method: total cost of new recruitment divided by the number of new users. The total cost of attracting new users includes but is not limited to all costs related to the acquisition of new users, such as advertising costs, promotional activity costs and marketing cooperation costs. For example, the total cost of pulling new users for a small program in a certain period of time is 10,000 yuan, and the number of new users is 500, then the cost of pulling new users is 10,000 / 500 = 20 yuan / person.
- Importance: the cost of pulling new users is an important indicator for assessing the effectiveness and economic benefits of small program promotion. Ensuring that more new users are acquired within a reasonable budget by controlling the cost of pulling new is crucial to the sustainable development of small programs. At the same time, comparing the cost of pulling new users from different pulling new channels can help the operation team choose the most cost-effective promotion method.
II. Methods of data collection and analysis
(i) Utilization of microblogging background data
The WeChat small program background provides a wealth of data analysis tools, on behalf of the operation team can directly from the background to obtain user behavioral data, user attribute data, traffic source data and so on. These data are the basis for calculating KPIs and have accuracy and authority. Regularly (e.g. daily, weekly, monthly) exporting and analyzing the background data can timely understand the operation status of the small program, and identify problems and trends.
(ii) Third-party data analysis tools
In addition to the WeChat small program background, you can also use some third-party data analysis tools to dig deeper and analyze the data. These tools can provide more comprehensive and in-depth data insights, such as user behavior path analysis, user profile segmentation, and conversion rate funnel analysis. Commonly used third-party data analysis tools include Google Analytics, Baidu Statistics, etc. Docking WeChat applets with third-party tools for data can provide richer data dimensions and more accurate analysis results, which can help better optimize applet operation strategies.
(iii) User research and feedback
Although data statistics are important, the subjective feelings and feedback of users should not be ignored. Regular user research is conducted to collect users' opinions and suggestions on small programs through questionnaires, user interviews, online comments and other methods. Understanding users' needs, satisfaction and pain points helps to evaluate the operation effect of the applet from the user's point of view, discover some problems that cannot be directly reflected in the data, and provide direction for the optimization of KPIs. For example, if users feedback that a certain function of the applet is not convenient to use, even if the usage rate of the function performs well in the data, it may need to be optimized to improve the user experience and the overall operation effect.
III. KPI Assessment and Optimization Cycle
(i) Short-term assessments (weekly or biweekly)
In the short term, focus on some KPIs that are more real-time, such as the number of daily active users, the number of new users, the sharing rate and so on. Through weekly or bi-weekly rapid assessment, discover unexpected problems or short-term trend changes in the operation of small programs in a timely manner, such as fluctuations in user growth brought about by a certain promotional activity, abnormalities in user activity during a specific period of time, and so on. In response to these short-term problems, quickly adjust the operation strategy, such as optimizing the promotion channel, adjusting the content or time of the activity, etc., to ensure that the operation effect of the applet remains stable or develops in a positive direction.
(ii) Mid-term evaluation (monthly)
A comprehensive KPI evaluation is conducted once a month, covering user growth, user activity, user retention, conversion and other aspects. Through in-depth analysis of monthly data, we can understand the overall operation of the applet in a month and assess the effectiveness of various operation strategies. For example, analyze the trend of user growth rate and retention rate in this month to determine whether the current user acquisition and retention strategy needs to be adjusted; compare the conversion rate and new recruitment cost of different promotion channels to optimize the allocation of promotion resources. At the same time, based on the results of the monthly evaluation, formulate the next month's operation plan and objectives, and clarify the key work direction and improvement measures.
(iii) Long-term assessment (quarterly or biannual)
Long-term evaluation focuses on the consideration of the overall development trend and strategic objectives of the applet. A comprehensive and systematic review and analysis of KPIs is conducted quarterly or semi-annually to comprehensively assess the operational performance and commercial value realization of applets over a longer period of time. In addition to focusing on regular KPI data, the development strategy of applets should also be adjusted and optimized by taking into account external factors such as changes in the market environment, competitor dynamics and industry development trends. For example, based on quarterly or half-yearly user growth and market share data, decide whether it is necessary to upgrade the functions of the applet or expand new business areas; optimize the user experience and business model of the applet based on long-term user retention and conversion data, in order to achieve sustainable development.
In WeChat applet operation, scientifically and reasonably calculating KPIs and establishing an effective evaluation and optimization mechanism is the key to ensure the success of operation. By clarifying the core KPI indicators, accurately collecting and analyzing data, and evaluating and optimizing according to a reasonable cycle, the OEM team can identify problems and adjust strategies in time to continuously improve the operation effect and user value of the applet, and achieve the long-term and stable development of the applet and the achievement of business goals.
