Being found.
Search, Shopping and assistants are three doors into the same catalogue, with one product feed behind all three. Fewer than a third of Google searches now send a click anywhere at all.
Route 81
Every touchpoint between a stranger and a second order is a place they either continue or leave. Scroll, and you travel it.
Stop one
Search, Shopping and assistants are three doors into the same catalogue, with one product feed behind all three. Fewer than a third of Google searches now send a click anywhere at all.
Stop two
Found is not picked. The median store turns 4.6% of visits into baskets and 1.4% into orders — most of the loss lands after they have decided they want it.
Stop three
Unexpected shipping stops 48% of shoppers at the checkout. The answer is not showing costs sooner, it is a threshold set from what the order actually leaves you.
Stop four
46%of sessions end where they began
Demo figure. Nearly half of all sessions end on the page they arrived at, which makes the landing page the cheapest thing on the site to fix.
Stop five
Demo figure. Every step between arriving and ordering loses people, and the steepest fall is almost never the one a merchant expects.
Stop six
£38to bring in one new customer
Demo figure. Acquisition is the number every other number is judged against — and the only one most stores can quote without checking.
Stop seven
Twenty-four frames, one image, one request
Demo figure. This picture is one image of twenty-four frames, and which frame you see is decided by how far up on the card you are.
Stop eight
Gross margin stops at cost of goods. Shipping, fulfilment, fees and returns come after it — and the ad budget should be set against what is left.
Stop nine
Around 81% of customers never place one. It typically lands a fortnight after the first, which makes the gap short, known and unusually fixable.
Stop ten
Every stop ends in a change to your store. That is where most advice dies — the recommendation arrives, the quote arrives, the change never does.
