How do I compare this year's Mother's Day performance to last year?

Year-over-year comparison is the most meaningful way to assess Mother's Day campaign performance because it accounts for seasonality and isolates genuine improvement from external market fluctuations. Merchants who track year-over-year metrics can identify which campaign changes drove results and which did not.

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Compare five metrics year over year for the same 21-day window: total revenue, number of orders, average order value, conversion rate, and recovery rate. Adjust for any significant traffic volume changes (if traffic grew 30% but revenue grew 15%, conversion rate declined). Document the campaign changes made between years so you know which specific decisions drove the performance delta.

Year-Over-Year Mother's Day Performance Comparison

Raw revenue comparison between years is misleading without traffic normalization and margin analysis. A structured year-over-year comparison reveals whether campaign improvements are actually working or whether revenue growth is simply a product of more traffic or organic market growth.

Traffic Normalization

Divide each revenue metric by sessions to get revenue per session, and divide orders by sessions to get conversion rate. This removes the effect of traffic volume changes and isolates campaign quality improvements from audience growth.
