3-YEAR IMPACT OF HTTPS ON DELIVERY TIMES

MESSAGE DELIVERY TIMES AT 20 HOURS AFTER LAUNCH AFFECTED BY ~4.5%

To better understand the effects that the approaching-saturation level of HTTPS (~90%*) has upon delivery times of in-browser messages, PerfTech looked at delivery statistics over the past three years at two of its larger North American ISP customers. Delivery events, analyzed across all use cases for each ISP for each calendar year, numbered over 46M total at ISP1, and over 19M total at ISP2. Details and results follow. Read more ...

SHORT CAMPAIGN INTRODUCES NEW LOOK TO MONTHLY BILL

One of PerfTech’s ISP customers recently redesigned the look and layout of its monthly bill. In order to avoid any confusion on the part of subscribers, the ISP chose to launch a brief but informative in-browser message campaign. The message contained a short caption and offered two responses: simply a visual “bill” image on which to click for more information, or a close option. The image linked to a FAQ and samples of the bill new design with detailed highlights on important features. Tracking the campaign for its final 12 days yielded these results:

Unique subscribers who received the message: 64,279
Percentage who clicked to view new bill design: 16.5%

While only those interested in seeing the new design clicked on the bill image, we can presume that the in-browser message was an easy solution and effectively prevented any related calls to customer care.

DESPITE HTTPS, PERFTECH REACH IS BARELY AFFECTED

IT TAKES ONLY ONE HTTP REQUEST TO DELIVER A MESSAGE

PerfTech’s messaging platform uses upstream HTTP Internet requests as opportunities to deliver in-browser messages. Over the past 3 years, the frequency of websites using HTTPS has increased by approximately 38%, and sits at 51.8% for the top 1 million most popular sites worldwide as of August, 2018*. While the Google Chrome Transparency Report for North America shows HTTPS use as of December 2018 at higher than 90%**, PerfTech delivery logs show that in-browser message delivery has been impacted only slightly by under 4%, especially looking at a typical 5-day campaign window. To better understand this phenomenon, PerfTech has monitored the same policy of one of our ISP-customers to determine what percentage of targeted subscribers successfully received an intended in-browser message.

LICENSE EXPANSIONS ACCOUNT FOR Q4 ’18 GAINS

New market growth by a major North American telecommunications provider led to the purchase of licenses for an additional .25M subscribers. The telco provider has also added .5M licenses to cover a new market for PerfTech’s Website Sentry application, enabling the provider to block illegal content network-wide. The telco relies on PerfTech’s in-browser messaging across multiple use cases to enhance network security and to facilitate subscriber communications.
