Understanding your customer is key to reduce your digital marketing costs to drive sales and increasing the average order value. According to Hubspot, 42% of businesses do not know their customers. Understanding who your online customer is and what their motivations are provides the foundation for a successful and sustainable eCommerce strategy.
With the cost of acquisition in Australia and globally rising, paying Facebook, Google, or Tik Tok to target “everyone” is fast becoming an unsustainable and expensive digital marketing activity. The average cost to acquire a customer using online advertising is around $30. For most retailers with an average basket size of sub $100, this does not add up. Taking into account production costs, digital platform costs, and shipping, many retailers are losing money on their digital media spend. Knowing your customer reduces the cost of acquisition, increases the average basket size, and drives more in-store and online customers, who are more likely to buy.
At a time when customers are shopping around for the best deal, loyalty is at an all-time low. The costs of digital are escalating. Now is the time to focus on the customer and to review your customer to ensure you are still aligned. In order to reduce your digital marketing costs.
