view_promotion: Measuring Internal Marketing
The view_promotion event tracks when a user sees an internal marketing banner or promotion, while select_promotion tracks when they click it. This is essential for evaluating which homepage sliders or sidebar ads actually work.
Most websites have internal real estate dedicated to sales or featured brands. By tracking these events, marketers can calculate the CTR (Click-Through Rate) of their internal banners. If a “Free Shipping” banner gets 10,000 views but only 5 clicks, it may need a better design or a more compelling Call to Action (CTA).
Example: You place a “Winter Sale” banner on your homepage. The view_promotion event fires for every visitor. When a visitor clicks it to see the deals, the select_promotion event tells you exactly which banner drove that traffic.
