How to report promo-code engagement to brands

Reviewed by the usecode.sh team on

Report the three numbers you actually own, labeled for what they are: page views, shop taps, and code copies, per code, over the campaign window. Never present copies as sales. Brands see redemptions you cannot see; a report that respects that line is more credible than one that inflates it, and credibility is what renews deals.

The report format

  • Views

    What to write
    People who opened your code page during the campaign
    Why brands care
    Reach that made it past the content to intent
  • Shop taps

    What to write
    Click-throughs to their site from your page
    Why brands care
    Matches what their own link tracking shows
  • Code copies

    What to write
    Times the code was copied, labeled as engagement
    Why brands care
    The clickless demand their click data misses
  • Content

    What to write
    Which posts the code card was attached to, with dates
    Why brands care
    Lets them line up spikes with your content

Close with one sentence inviting reconciliation: "Your redemption numbers will complete this; here is the window and code so your team can pull them." That sentence does more for a renewal than any inflated claim.

What never goes in the report

  • Estimated sales or revenue you did not observe. If you only measured copies, say copies.
  • Screenshots of dashboards that mix labeled and unlabeled numbers.
  • Comparisons to other creators you cannot verify.

Making the numbers exist in the first place

This report is only possible if your codes live somewhere that counts all three signals per code. Captions cannot do it, and a link page only gives you taps. A code-first page counts copies alongside clicks per card per day, and attaching the campaign's posts to the card gives you the content column for free. The general measurement picture is in promo-code tracking for creators.
