How is 2MR, 3MR, 3MR Comp calculated?

2MR (2nd Month Retention), 3MR (3rd Month Retention), and 3MR Comp (3rd Month Retention Compensation) are all based on activations and if those activated customers continue to make payments and stay active. Boost calculates this by looking at a monthly group of activations and following them through the next few months. If they continue to make payments and keep their account active, they are registered into your 2MR, 3MR, and 3MR Comp.

What can you conclude from this metric?

This is a metric of how many of your new customers' activations are continuing to make bill payments. The lower amount of continued payments can imply possible lapses in customer communication, store goals/accountability, or customer qualification.
