| Vanity Metric | Everyone likes metrics, especially positive ones. But some positive metrics deliver no real value. A good example is impressions. They represent the number of times that an ad appears on someone’s screen. Having thousands of impressions sounds good. But there’s no guarantee the people actually saw your ad even if it appeared on their screen. The reality is that, in isolation, impressions are just a vanity metric. To add value, brands need to add engagement, reach, clicks or increase in followers to measure an ad’s actual impact. |
