Customer Advocacy Programme Members
Number of customers actively enrolled in a formal advocacy, reference, or ambassador programme
What is Customer Advocacy Programme Members?
Customer advocacy programme members is the number of customers actively taking part in an advocacy programme at the end of a period. Advocates might give references, write reviews or speak at events.
Advocates provide credibility that no marketing message can match, so the size of the programme shows how much of this resource the business can call on.

How to calculate it
Count the customers with active advocacy status at the end of the period.
For example, if 85 customers are currently active in the programme, the figure is 85.
Define active carefully, such as having taken part in an activity in the last 12 months, so the count reflects real availability rather than a list of people who signed up once.
