It captures <em>visibility<\/em> (the promotional impression) rather than <em>interaction<\/em> (like a click) or <em>outcome<\/em> (like a purchase).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why it matters: modern marketing optimization depends on understanding the full funnel. If you only measure clicks and purchases, you miss critical context\u2014what people actually <em>saw<\/em> before they acted. View_promotion helps teams evaluate promotional reach, diagnose weak creative or placement, and connect exposure to downstream behavior. In short, View_promotion turns \u201cwe ran a promo\u201d into measurable evidence inside your <strong>Conversion &amp; Measurement<\/strong> strategy and your <strong>Analytics<\/strong> reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Is View_promotion?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>View_promotion is an event (or recorded data point) that indicates a promotion was displayed to a user in a measurable way. \u201cDisplayed\u201d can mean different things depending on the implementation: it may be logged when the promotion renders on a page, when it becomes visible in the viewport, or when an app screen containing the promotion is viewed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At its core, View_promotion answers: <strong>Which promotions were seen, by whom, and in what context?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From a business perspective, View_promotion provides the missing denominator for performance analysis. Without it, click-through rate (CTR) or promotion-to-cart impact can\u2019t be interpreted reliably because you don\u2019t know how many users had the <em>chance<\/em> to click or respond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where it fits in <strong>Conversion &amp; Measurement<\/strong>: it is an upper-funnel exposure signal that complements mid-funnel interactions (like select\/click) and lower-funnel conversions (add-to-cart, sign-up, purchase). Inside <strong>Analytics<\/strong>, View_promotion becomes a foundational event for attribution analysis, funnel reporting, and experimentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why View_promotion Matters in Conversion &amp; Measurement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>View_promotion is strategically important because promotions are often one of the highest-leverage levers on digital experiences\u2014homepages, category pages, in-app modals, emails landing on promo pages, and seasonal campaigns. Measuring only results without exposure data can lead to wrong conclusions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key reasons View_promotion matters in <strong>Conversion &amp; Measurement<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Diagnoses performance issues faster<\/strong>: If conversion drops, View_promotion can reveal whether fewer users actually saw the promotion (placement issue) versus seeing it but not responding (creative\/offer issue).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Improves marketing efficiency<\/strong>: When you know which promotions earn views but fail to drive interaction, you can reallocate space and budget to higher-performing offers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Supports reliable experimentation<\/strong>: In A\/B tests, View_promotion provides exposure counts so results aren\u2019t biased by differences in visibility.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Creates competitive advantage<\/strong>: Teams that measure exposure can optimize layout, personalization, and merchandising more precisely than teams relying on clicks alone.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the practical bridge between creative decisions and measurable outcomes\u2014exactly what <strong>Analytics<\/strong> and <strong>Conversion &amp; Measurement<\/strong> are meant to enable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How View_promotion Works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>View_promotion can be implemented in several ways, but in practice it follows a simple measurement workflow:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\n<p><strong>Trigger (what causes the event)<\/strong>\n   &#8211; A promotion is rendered on a page or app screen, or it becomes visible in the user\u2019s viewport.\n   &#8211; The trigger definition matters: \u201crendered\u201d is easier to track, while \u201cviewable\u201d is more accurate for true exposure.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Processing (what data gets collected)<\/strong>\n   &#8211; Your instrumentation captures details such as:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>promotion identifier (ID or name)<\/li>\n<li>creative name or variant<\/li>\n<li>placement location (homepage hero, PDP banner, cart upsell)<\/li>\n<li>context (page type, category, device, locale)<\/li>\n<li>timestamp and user\/session identifiers (in line with privacy rules)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Application (how it\u2019s used in Analytics)<\/strong>\n   &#8211; In <strong>Analytics<\/strong>, View_promotion events are grouped by promotion, placement, audience segment, and time period.\n   &#8211; Analysts pair View_promotion with interaction events (e.g., \u201cselect promotion\u201d) and conversion events (purchase, lead) to understand influence.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Outcome (what you learn)<\/strong>\n   &#8211; Exposure volume, viewability patterns, and downstream performance (CTR, conversion lift, revenue per view) become measurable.\n   &#8211; Stakeholders can decide which promotions to scale, redesign, move, or retire.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If View_promotion is implemented thoughtfully, it becomes a dependable \u201cpromo impression\u201d layer for your <strong>Conversion &amp; Measurement<\/strong> model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Components of View_promotion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A strong View_promotion setup typically includes the following components:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Data definition and tracking plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Clear definition of what counts as a \u201cview\u201d (render vs viewport visibility vs minimum time visible).<\/li>\n<li>A consistent naming convention for promotions and placements.<\/li>\n<li>Documentation for teams across marketing, product, and engineering.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Instrumentation and event collection<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Website and\/or app tagging to fire View_promotion events.<\/li>\n<li>Rules to avoid duplicate events (e.g., re-renders, SPA route changes, infinite scroll).<\/li>\n<li>Quality checks to ensure events match actual UI states.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Promotion metadata<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To make View_promotion actionable in <strong>Analytics<\/strong>, capture fields like:\n&#8211; promotion_id \/ promotion_name\n&#8211; creative_name \/ creative_slot\n&#8211; placement (slot) and page context\n&#8211; campaign or initiative tag (seasonal sale, onboarding, clearance)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Governance and responsibilities<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Marketing owns promotion taxonomy and business naming.<\/li>\n<li>Product\/engineering owns event triggers and data quality.<\/li>\n<li>Analytics or data teams own validation, reporting logic, and guardrails.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Measurement and reporting layer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dashboards, funnel reports, and experiment readouts using View_promotion as the exposure baseline.<\/li>\n<li>Alerts for sudden drops in View_promotion volume (often a tracking break or UI change).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Types of View_promotion (Practical Distinctions)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>View_promotion isn\u2019t always categorized into formal \u201ctypes,\u201d but in real <strong>Conversion &amp; Measurement<\/strong> work, the most useful distinctions are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Render-based vs viewable-based<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Render-based<\/strong>: event fires when the promo loads. Easier to implement, but can overcount if the promo loads below the fold.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Viewable-based<\/strong>: event fires when the promo is actually visible (often using viewport detection). More accurate, but requires careful engineering.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On-site vs in-app vs cross-channel landing experiences<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>On-site View_promotion<\/strong>: homepage banners, category tiles, PDP badges.<\/li>\n<li><strong>In-app View_promotion<\/strong>: in-app messages, interstitials, offer cards.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Landing experience View_promotion<\/strong>: promo modules on pages driven by email, paid, or social campaigns.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Single-slot vs multi-slot placements<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Single-slot<\/strong>: one dominant hero area.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Multi-slot<\/strong>: grids, carousels, recommendation modules where multiple promotions compete for attention.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These distinctions matter because they directly affect how you interpret exposure and how you design <strong>Analytics<\/strong> reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Real-World Examples of View_promotion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Example 1: Ecommerce homepage hero rotation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>An ecommerce brand rotates three hero banners per day. They implement View_promotion when each banner becomes visible in the viewport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Conversion &amp; Measurement question<\/strong>: Do hero views correlate with add-to-cart and purchase, or is the hero mostly decorative?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Analytics use<\/strong>: Compare revenue per View_promotion across the three creatives, controlling for device and traffic source.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Outcome<\/strong>: The brand learns a \u201cfree shipping\u201d hero has lower CTR but higher downstream conversion, so they keep it for new visitors and use a product-focused hero for returning users.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Example 2: SaaS in-app upgrade prompt<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A SaaS product shows an upgrade promotion inside the settings page. View_promotion fires when the prompt is displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Conversion &amp; Measurement question<\/strong>: Are users seeing the prompt, and does it lead to upgrades?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Analytics use<\/strong>: Create a funnel: View_promotion \u2192 prompt click \u2192 pricing page view \u2192 upgrade.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Outcome<\/strong>: They discover high View_promotion volume but low click. They redesign copy and placement, improving upgrades without increasing exposure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Example 3: Retail cart upsell module<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A retailer adds a cart module promoting add-on items. View_promotion fires when the module enters the viewport in the cart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Conversion &amp; Measurement question<\/strong>: Does exposure to the upsell module increase average order value?<\/li>\n<li><strong>Analytics use<\/strong>: Segment by \u201cmodule viewed\u201d vs \u201cnot viewed\u201d while accounting for cart size and device type.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Outcome<\/strong>: The module boosts AOV on desktop but not mobile, leading to a mobile redesign and better space utilization.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits of Using View_promotion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When implemented well, View_promotion provides measurable advantages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Better performance optimization<\/strong>: You can optimize promotions based on exposure-to-outcome relationships, not guesswork.<\/li>\n<li><strong>More accurate efficiency metrics<\/strong>: \u201cRevenue per promo view\u201d and \u201cconversion rate after view\u201d enable fair comparisons between placements.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cost savings and smarter prioritization<\/strong>: Less time spent iterating on promos that aren\u2019t being seen, or that are seen but ineffective.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Improved customer experience<\/strong>: Measuring what users see helps reduce clutter, avoid repetitive promos, and improve relevance through personalization.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Stronger cross-team alignment<\/strong>: View_promotion creates a shared language between marketing, product, and Analytics teams within <strong>Conversion &amp; Measurement<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Challenges of View_promotion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>View_promotion also has real pitfalls. Understanding them is essential for trustworthy <strong>Analytics<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Technical challenges<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Duplicate firing<\/strong> in single-page apps or components that re-render.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Viewport detection complexity<\/strong> for carousels, sticky headers, modals, and infinite scroll.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Latency and offline behavior<\/strong> in apps that queue events.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strategic and measurement risks<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Counting \u201crendered\u201d as \u201cviewed\u201d<\/strong> can inflate exposure and depress CTR artificially.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Attribution ambiguity<\/strong>: seeing a promotion doesn\u2019t prove it caused a conversion; it\u2019s an influence signal, not a guarantee.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Over-instrumentation<\/strong>: too many promotional events can create noisy datasets and complicate reporting.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Data and governance limitations<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Inconsistent naming or missing promotion IDs reduces the value of View_promotion.<\/li>\n<li>Privacy and consent requirements may limit user-level tracking, requiring aggregated or modeled approaches in <strong>Conversion &amp; Measurement<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Best Practices for View_promotion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Define \u201cview\u201d precisely and document it<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Choose render-based or viewable-based tracking intentionally.<\/li>\n<li>Document thresholds (e.g., \u201c50% visible for 1 second\u201d) if using viewability logic.<\/li>\n<li>Keep definitions stable so trend analysis remains meaningful.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use consistent promotion taxonomy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Standardize: promotion_id, creative, placement, campaign tag.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid embedding changing details (like dates) in IDs; store dates in separate properties.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prevent duplicates and ensure data quality<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Implement deduplication per session\/page-view\/promo instance where appropriate.<\/li>\n<li>Validate with QA: does View_promotion fire when expected, and only once per view?<\/li>\n<li>Monitor event volume after releases\u2014promo tracking breaks often coincide with UI changes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Connect View_promotion to downstream events<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To make View_promotion actionable in <strong>Analytics<\/strong>, pair it with:\n&#8211; interaction event(s) (promotion click\/select)\n&#8211; conversion events (add_to_cart, purchase, sign_up)\n&#8211; contextual events (page_view, screen_view)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use segmentation and experiments<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Break down results by audience (new vs returning), device, placement, and traffic source.<\/li>\n<li>In A\/B tests, ensure both variants measure View_promotion consistently; otherwise <strong>Conversion &amp; Measurement<\/strong> comparisons become biased.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tools Used for View_promotion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>View_promotion is less about a single tool and more about an ecosystem that supports reliable <strong>Analytics<\/strong> and <strong>Conversion &amp; Measurement<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Analytics tools<\/strong>: collect events, build funnels, segment users, and analyze cohorts around View_promotion exposure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tag management systems<\/strong>: deploy and version website tracking, manage triggers, and reduce reliance on code releases.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mobile measurement and app instrumentation<\/strong>: capture in-app View_promotion consistently across devices and OS versions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Data pipelines and warehouses<\/strong>: store event logs for deeper analysis, joining View_promotion to orders, subscriptions, or CRM outcomes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Experimentation platforms<\/strong>: measure lift with correct exposure baselines.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reporting dashboards<\/strong>: operationalize KPIs like views, CTR, and revenue per view for weekly decision-making.<\/li>\n<li><strong>CRM systems<\/strong> (where applicable): connect View_promotion exposure segments to lifecycle campaigns, while respecting consent and privacy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Metrics Related to View_promotion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>View_promotion enables a set of metrics that are often impossible\u2014or misleading\u2014without exposure counts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Exposure and reach metrics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Promotion views<\/strong> (count of View_promotion)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unique viewers<\/strong> (distinct users who had View_promotion)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Frequency<\/strong> (views per user\/session)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Engagement metrics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Promotion CTR<\/strong> = clicks\/selects \u00f7 View_promotion<\/li>\n<li><strong>Interaction rate by placement<\/strong> (hero vs cart vs category tile)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conversion and revenue metrics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Conversion rate after view<\/strong> (e.g., purchase rate among viewers within a defined window)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Revenue per view<\/strong> (or gross margin per view for merchandising decisions)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Assisted conversion rate<\/strong> (views appearing in journeys that convert, with careful attribution rules)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Efficiency and quality metrics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Viewability rate<\/strong> (if tracking viewable impressions)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Incremental lift<\/strong> (from experiments): difference in conversions when View_promotion exposure changes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The strongest <strong>Conversion &amp;

Measurement<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>AI-driven personalization<\/strong>: Promotions will be dynamically selected per user. View_promotion will need richer metadata (decision reasons, eligibility, variant IDs) to make <strong>Analytics<\/strong> interpretable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Automation and real-time decisioning<\/strong>: Faster iteration will increase the importance of automated data quality checks for View_promotion.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Privacy changes and consent-first measurement<\/strong>: As user-level tracking becomes more restricted, teams will rely more on aggregated reporting, modeled conversions, and on-device processing\u2014while still needing trustworthy exposure signals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Attention and viewability standards<\/strong>: More teams will move from render-based to viewable-based approaches to better match \u201cseen\u201d with reality.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unified measurement across surfaces<\/strong>: Brands will aim for consistent View_promotion semantics across web, app, and embedded experiences to reduce reporting fragmentation in <strong>Analytics<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">View_promotion vs Related Terms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">View_promotion vs promotion click (select promotion)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>View_promotion<\/strong> measures exposure: the user saw the promotion.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Promotion click\/select<\/strong> measures interaction: the user engaged with it.\nYou need both to understand performance.

View_promotion is typically more specific to on-site or in-app promotions and is often implemented as an event in <strong>Analytics<\/strong> for <strong>Conversion &amp; Measurement<\/strong> analysis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">View_promotion vs page_view \/ screen_view<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>page_view\/screen_view<\/strong> measures that a page or screen loaded.<\/li>\n<li><strong>View_promotion<\/strong> measures that a specific promotional element on that page\/screen was displayed or viewed.\nA page can load without a promo being seen (below the fold), so separating these improves measurement precision.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who Should Learn View_promotion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Marketers and growth teams<\/strong>: to evaluate creative, offers, and placements using reliable <strong>Conversion &amp; Measurement<\/strong> signals.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Analysts<\/strong>: to build funnel analyses, attribution views, and experiments that incorporate exposure in <strong>Analytics<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Agencies<\/strong>: to prove promotional impact and improve client reporting beyond vanity clicks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Business owners and founders<\/strong>: to understand which promotional levers drive revenue and which only consume attention.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Developers and product teams<\/strong>: to implement accurate triggers, manage duplicates, and ensure View_promotion data integrity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary of View_promotion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>View_promotion is the measurement of promotional exposure\u2014recording when users see a promotion so teams can analyze performance with context. It sits at the top of the funnel in <strong>Conversion &amp; Measurement<\/strong>, enabling more accurate evaluation of creative and placement. In <strong>Analytics<\/strong>, View_promotion becomes the baseline for CTR, conversion-after-view, revenue-per-view, and experiment analysis. Done well, it improves decision quality, efficiency, and the customer experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1) What does View_promotion measure exactly?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>View_promotion measures exposure to a specific promotion (banner, tile, module, in-app offer). Depending on implementation, it may represent \u201crendered\u201d exposure or \u201cviewable\u201d exposure when the promo enters the viewport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2) How is View_promotion different from a click event?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>View_promotion indicates the promotion was seen; a click\/select event indicates the user interacted with it. In <strong>Conversion &amp; Measurement<\/strong>, you typically use View_promotion as the denominator for CTR and then connect clicks to conversion events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3) Do I need View_promotion if I already track purchases?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, if you want to optimize promotions rather than just report outcomes. Purchases alone don\u2019t tell you which promotions were actually seen, so <strong>Analytics<\/strong> can\u2019t fairly compare creative or placements without View_promotion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4) Should View_promotion fire when a promo loads or when it becomes visible?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If accuracy is the priority, viewable-based tracking is better.
