What are profile insights and how to decipher them?

 Insights show buyer activity on your profile including brand and product views and where buyers spend the most time.

Read more below to learn more about each data piece and visual data provided.

Insights Overview

• Views - a view occurs when a buyer sees your brand or product card on their dashboard or in an email.

  If you notice a retailer listed multiple times, there are two possible explanations:

  
  
  1. The views are most likely from different buyers working for the same retailer. The majority of our retail partners have many buyers on the platform. 
  2. The other explanation is that one buyer is viewing your product in more than one session or search.
  Note: If you wish to see the number of unique buyers views refer to the actions graph.
• Profile Visits - when a buyer clicks through to your brands and products from their dashboard, an email, or link share.When a buyer visits your profile you will be able to view the retailer they work for, the page they visited and the time spent on your profile under the recent visits section of your Insights page. In order to view any additional information on this particular visitor select "View Stats." 

  Within the view stats tab, you are able to see what the buyer has viewed while you're visiting your profile page. This will also let you see what order of things they viewed, and how long they spent on each desired section.

  
  You can also see what action the buyer has taken within this area. Actions include: Connecting with your brand, Requesting a Sample, Marking Not Interested, or Saving your Brand Card. These actions can only be viewed if that buyer selected one of these while on your profile page.
• Conversions - when a buyer saves, samples or connects
• Avg. Time on Profile - Average time buyers spend when visiting your profile
