What’s My Sales & Refunds Dynamic?

Pairing the examination of units sold and refunded units offers a strategic and quick method for understanding and improving product-specific performance.

• Understanding key aspects of product performance

Units sold provide a quantitative measure of success and popularity, while refunded units offer insights into customer dissatisfaction.

By analyzing both metrics side by side, you gain a holistic view of product performance, identifying successful products and addressing customer concerns simultaneously.

• Inventory Management

Units sold guide inventory decisions based on product popularity, while refunded units signal potential quality or customer satisfaction issues.

This dual approach aids in strategic inventory management, ensuring the availability of popular products and addressing quality concerns promptly.

Refunded units highlight areas for improvement in product descriptions, quality assurance, or meeting customer expectations.

You can proactively enhance customer satisfaction by addressing identified pain points, refining marketing strategies, and continuously optimizing the product offering.

So, the combined analysis of units sold and refunded units provides a strategic advantage.

This approach not only unveils a comprehensive picture of product performance but also guides you in making informed decisions for strategic inventory management and proactive customer satisfaction enhancement.

How Much Inventory Do I Need?

The trio formed of units sold, product views, and inventory quantity acts as a powerhouse for effective inventory management.

Units sold provide a direct measure of product demand and popularity, enabling businesses to identify top-performing items and adjust inventory levels accordingly.

Simultaneously, product views serve as a leading indicator of customer interest, helping forecast potential demand trends and influencing inventory stocking decisions.

The inclusion of inventory quantity completes the equation, offering a real-time snapshot of available stock.

This triple-measures approach can be used in:

• Inventory replenishment, by ensuring popular products are consistently available.
• Stockouts or overstock prevention, by considering both current sales trends and customer interest.

Thus, these measures used together empower you to strike a balance between demand and supply. They reduce the risk of stockouts or overstock situations, and ultimately enhance overall operational efficiency.

Are My Customers Coming Back?

Know whether customers return after their first order by using these two measures: Customer Churn after First Purchase and Customer Retention after First Purchase.

• Customer Churn after First Purchase represents the number of customers who do not make subsequent purchases after their initial order. This measure highlights areas where customer satisfaction or engagement may be lacking.

• Customer Retention after First Purchase represents the number of customers who have placed subsequent orders after their initial product purchase. It reflects the percentage of customers who continue to engage with your products. A high retention indicates effective strategies in nurturing customer loyalty and satisfaction.

Leveraging these measures enables you to tailor marketing campaigns, enhance product offerings, and elevate customer service to meet their needs effectively.

Customer Retention helps you understand what brings customers back. By identifying effective tactics, you can replicate them to drive more growth and reduce churn.

How Long Until the Next Order?

Understand more about your customers’ buying patterns and frequency with these two measures: Average Days to Repurchase and Average Days to Next Order.

With the help of such a report, you can analyze several key aspects:

• Demand Elasticity: Price elasticity of demand measures how sensitive the quantity demanded of a product or service is to changes in its price.
  This helps you predict how consumers will respond to alterations in pricing.

• Consumer Behavior: Lowering prices can potentially attract more customers and boost sales volume, while increasing prices may prompt customers to seek alternatives, reduce their purchases, or switch to competing products. The report helps unveil patterns in consumer behavior tied to price fluctuations.

• Perceived Value: The price change effect can significantly influence how consumers perceive the value associated with a product or service. Higher prices may be linked to perceptions of higher quality, exclusivity, or prestige, while lower prices might be seen as indicative of discounts or lower quality. The report allows you to explore the impact of price changes on the perceived value of your offerings.

By utilizing these insights, you can make informed decisions regarding pricing strategies and better understand the dynamics influencing your sales performance.

• Implement a proactive approach by emailing customers with abandoned carts. Offer incentives such as discounts, alternative product suggestions, or complementary items to encourage them to reconsider and complete their purchase.

Products Viewed but Not Purchased?

Are your products getting a lot of views but not translating into sales?

The "Without Purchases" report aims to answer this question by identifying which products are capturing substantial customer attention without resulting in actual transactions.

Once you've identified the products in question, the next steps involve investigating the obstacles preventing new purchases. Is the pricing fair? Is there a high abandonment rate? Is the product poorly described? By delving into these aspects, you can pinpoint the issues that need addressing to boost sales.

Which Are My Most Visited Products?

To identify the most visited products, utilize the following measures: PDP Views, Product Revenue, PLP Impressions, and Product Conversion Rate.

These metrics will provide insights into which products are gaining substantial attention despite not being the primary revenue generators.

These attention-grabbing products present a valuable opportunity for improvement. Since they are already catching the eye of customers and, perhaps, generating some orders, focusing on enhancing these products could lead to increased sales and overall improvement in your store's performance.

Together, these measures offer a holistic understanding of SKU-level performance to help you strategically promote, optimize pricing, and manage inventory for a well-rounded approach to maximizing profitability.

Are My Collections Successful?

Continuously evaluating and improving the performance of collections is an ongoing effort for long-term success.

In this process, two important measures stand out: Collection Conversion Rate (Collection CR) and Collection Click-Through Rate (Collection CTR).

• Collection CR shows how effectively a collection converts views into transactions. It helps you assess a collection's ability to turn potential interest into tangible sales.
• Collection CTR measures the success of promotional strategies. It tells you how well your marketing efforts resonate with the audience, reflecting the level of engagement generated.

The synergy between Collection CR and Collection CTR is crucial. Together, they help identify high-performing collections that not only capture attention (high CTR) but also efficiently convert that interest into transactions (high CR).

This ensures a precise allocation of resources, driving efforts toward collections with the potential for both visibility and financial rewards.

Which Products Make the Best First Impression?

First impressions are often the driving force behind making a purchase decision.

Using the below report will give you a glimpse into which products capture the attention of your customers and convert viewers into buyers.

• PLP Impressions (Product Listing Page) show the visibility of products across various pages. This helps you examine their online presence and optimize placement strategies in order to improve their visibility and exposure.

What is My Customer Churn Rate For Individual Products?

• Check How Products Are Doing: Churn rate helps you see if people are sticking with a product or ditching it. High churn? Maybe the product needs a tweak.

• Happy Customers, Happy Business: If the churn rate is climbing, it might mean your customers aren't thrilled. This stat helps you keep tabs on their satisfaction.

• Know Where Products Stand: Churn rate gives you the lowdown on whether a product is gaining popularity or losing it. Handy for knowing if it's still in the game.

• Smart Moves Ahead: Armed with product-specific churn data, you can decide whether to amp up marketing, spruce up the product, or even consider retiring it if it's not cutting it.

• Keep Customers Coming Back: High churn? Figure out ways to keep customers interested – be it improving the product, throwing in cool promos, or teaming it up with others.

• Churned Customers. These customers have not made another purchase after buying the product. If the product is an expensive “buy once and keep it”, the number of churned customers can be very high, which can be interpreted as good. If the product is cheaper or a consumable, having low churn might be favorable.

• First Time Churned. These customers bought a product on their first order and have not made another purchase after. This behavior could be interpreted as a good product for which all customers are here for (although, if it’s the only one, could be a red flag), or a product that drives customers away from your store with either low quality or an unjustifiable price.

Do I Have Forgotten Products?

The "Performance Ratios" report gives a very detailed view of products’ performance on your website, providing information on customer behavior and revenue generation.

The report is divided into six distinct classes, each shedding light on different aspects of client interaction and revenue involvement.

• Hidden Products: The products that have never been viewed by either visitors or recurring customers, remaining undiscovered on the website.
• Viewed, not purchased: This category contains products whose detail pages have been viewed and even added to the cart, yet remain unordered.
• Listed, not clicked: These products have been in view for at least a second or more, either through a collection or search result, but not one user has opened their detail page.
• B Products: Representing products that contribute to the 70 to 90 percent of the cumulative revenue, this category highlights high-performing items.
• C Products: These products make up the bottom 10 percent in terms of revenue contribution.
• A Products: The class of products that collectively generate an impressive 70 percent of the cumulative revenue, showcasing the top-performing items in your inventory.

The report also features a section on cumulative revenue, offering a clear breakdown of individual product revenue alongside the percentage contribution to the total sales.

As a product's revenue percentage increases, it ascends through the classes, signifying its growing impact on overall revenue.

For instance, a product that initially falls into the lower classes can progress, eventually moving from Class C to Class B, and potentially even attaining the coveted Class A status as it garners a higher percentage of the total revenue.
