Charm Growth Score™ & Charm Success Score™
Charm Growth Score™: Multidimensional scores of different social media platforms like Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, etc. We measure not just the likes but also their engagement (% change over 12 months). We also pull up their website traffic, which is a great indicator of the popularity of the brand.
The advertising component is another great indicator of the product-market fit of the brand, especially if the spending increases for a digitally native brand.
The percentile on the growth score indicates that the brand is doing X percentile better than other brands out there in a similar category.
Charm Success Score™: An absolute value of the growth score, while considering the exact same metrics. The more successful a brand is, the closer the number will be to 100. For example, Nike would have a success score of 100 because they have all their growth metrics in place.
Charm Sophistication Score™
Charm Sophistication Score™: Our vast data resources enable us to correlate the actions of a brand on their website to the overall success of the brand. Some indicators are what technology; apps and services they are using the optimize their business, what their advertising program looks like; are they A/B testing, are using custom or themed branding, etc.
You can have a high Charm Growth Score™ and Charm Success Score™ but a low Charm Sophistication Score™. This is an indicator of the areas of improvement for your business.
