Postscript strongly believes in SMS as an "owned-channel" and gives all brands the freedom to export their shop data when they want. In this article, we'll discuss each report available for export and provide resources to learn more about each specific report.
By having access to export your data, you:
- Have true ownership over the data collected by your SMS program.
- Can easily export information you need to paint a better picture of the success of your SMS program.
- Can gauge the effectiveness of your existing strategies when you analyze and compare different pockets of your SMS program (i.e. comparing the performance of popups or back in stock as it relates to list growth).
To navigate to your Reports page, select Analytics in the side menu of your Postscript dashboard, then select Reports.
Key Information
When using a custom date range to export analytics for a specific month in the Postscript app, be sure to add the dates of the calendar month. For example, if you want to export your analytics for the month of June, please input your custom range as 06/01 to 06/30.
Similarly, when using a custom date range to view analytics for a specific month in the Postscript app, be sure to add an extra day on the tale end of the date range. For example, if you want to view your analytics for the month of June, please input your custom range as 06/01 to 07/01.
Subscriber Lists
When you navigate to your reports page, you can not only easily export your active subscriber list, but you can also export a list of people who have unsubscribed from your brand.
