Consequently, there has been rise in the number of outsourcing e-commerce development agenci es too. Now that you own an e-store, you must find out how profitable it is. Here we are considering following three metrics:


CONVERSION RATE Conversion rate, in brief, is the percentage of your site visitors that complete a transaction and it is often very low. While so many people visit your site, only 2-3 percent of visitors end up making a purchase and rest just leave without buying anything.


There could be many reasons including: • • • • •

Technical issues Dissatisfied with the shipping options or cost Unable to find the desired product Inadequate product information Not feeling secure to share personal details


Since conversion rate is an obvious metric to determine the success of your e-store, you must find out solutions for the aforementioned factors. Choosing the right platform and a proficient ecommerce development specialist can also play a decisive role in the success of your e-store by reducing technical issues.


CUSTOMER ACQUISITION COST (CAC) The CAC metric is important for your ecommerce company as you can determine the profitability of your business by calculating the difference between how much money you can extract from your customers and the costs (CAC) of extracting it.


This metric has been growing in use as today companies can engage their customers in highly targeted campaigns and track them via analytics tool as they progress from interested leads to loyal customers.


CUSTOMER LOYALTY Being an online shop owner you understand how difficult it is to attract customers to your estore. And you would definitely want them to return to your web shop again and again. If you could provide your shoppers an interactive and pleasant experience with persuasive product descriptions, informative images, preferred payment options and seamless checkout process then you can retain your customers and build a loyal customer base.


Customer loyalty can be measured by customer lifetime value (CLV), which is basically a measure of CAC against value of purchases made by customers during their course of relationship, minus customer retention costs. You can make the most of your web presence by taking the right approach and measuring your level of success at regular intervals.
