Performance Optimisation - Continuous Improvement for Better Results
The best co-marketers monitor performance consistently, learn from data, and continuously refine their approach. Weekly analytics reviews reveal what's working and what isn't. Top performers should be analysed and replicated; underperformers should be adjusted or retired. Continuous improvement means testing variations, making seasonal adjustments, refreshing content regularly, and nurturing successful partnerships. Barika's AI-powered matching improves with accurate inputs—better data in means better results out.

Monitor and Measure Consistently
Data tells you what's working and what isn't. Make reviewing it a regular habit rather than an occasional activity.
Check your analytics weekly. Your dashboard shows engagement rates, match rates, and revenue metrics. Letting weeks pass without looking means missing opportunities to optimise and failing to catch problems early.
Track engagement patterns. Which offers get clicks? Which partnerships generate the most value? Which contexts perform best? Understanding these patterns helps you do more of what works.
Identify your top performers. When something works exceptionally well, analyse why. Is it the headline? The category selection? The partner type? The timing? Successful formulas should be understood and replicated.
Learn from underperformers. Poor performance isn't failure—it's information. Analyse what's not working and decide whether to adjust the approach or retire the offer entirely. Sometimes small tweaks transform results; sometimes an offer simply isn't resonating and should be replaced.
Pursue Continuous Improvement
The best-performing accounts are always testing and evolving, never static.
Test variations. Try different headlines for similar offers. Experiment with different descriptions and calls-to-action. Small changes can produce significant improvements, but you won't know until you test.
Make seasonal adjustments. Customer interests shift with seasons, holidays, and events. A summer sale offer should appear in summer. Back-to-school promotions belong in late summer. Holiday offers should be timed appropriately. Align your content calendar with customer expectations.
Refresh regularly. Even great offers get stale. Content that performed brilliantly six months ago may feel dated today. Update your offers periodically to keep them feeling current and relevant.
Nurture successful partnerships. When you find partners that work well with your brand, invest in those relationships. Consistent partnerships often outperform one-off matches because both parties understand what works.
