What Key Retail Metrics Should You Track?
- Conversion Rates: The compass to customer commitment. Understand how effectively you turn visitors into customers.
- Sales (Revenue): The financial lifeblood. Daily figures reveal trends, capitalise on successful promos, and swiftly respond to revenue fluctuations.
- Average Order Value (AOV): The silent architect of revenue. Maximise your revenue by focusing on increasing the average amount spent by each customer.
- Website Traffic: Your ecommerce pulse. Keep an eye on where your traffic comes from and optimise your channels accordingly.
- New Users: Signals expanding horizons. Daily scrutiny refines outreach, captivates a broader audience, and cultivates a thriving ecosystem of first-time visitors.
- Repeat Users: The art of customer loyalty. Daily tracking unveils retention success, strengthens relationships, and fosters a loyal customer base.
- Cart Abandonment Rate: Untapped Potential. Daily tracking identifies checkout friction, allowing swift adjustments to recover lost sales and optimise conversion.
- Cost of Acquisition: The price of growth. Track Meta and Google costs daily for sustainable growth, effectively optimising spending on each platform.
