Thanks
to advanced data mining technology, the Sales Analysis report helps you manage
your e-business better.
The report provides a detailed analysis of sales amounts and percentages by product and/or country/state
based on any given date range.
The report also features a 'Quick Stats' section reporting some useful
statistical facts about your e-commerce activity.
By default, the system displays a sales analysis report for the last 30 days.

Number of
active customers for specified date range. 'Active Customers' are either
new customers or existing customers having placed new orders. |
| Orders |
Number of
orders received for specified date range. This includes only valid
orders (new orders or orders having been posted and/or shipped). |
| Abandoned |
Number of
abandoned orders for specified date range.
Abandoned orders are any
orders for which items were added to the shopping cart, regardless of
whether the would-be customers actually proceeded to check-out.
Note:
Canceled or returned orders are not counted as abandoned. |
| Click-to-Buy
Ratio |
Ratio
Abandoned/Processed. The lower the number, the better, maximum value is
1 to 1 (100% conversion).
In practice, any number lower than 2 to 1 shows a good web site's capability at
managing buying impulse.
Current internet-wide average abandonment ratio is 3 to 1. In other
words, only 1 in 3 persons selecting an item will actually purchase
it.
Credit card denials or orders for which a gateway error or system error
occurred are included in the abandonment ratio.
High abandonment rates may indicate one or more of the following
problems:
- Bad marketing or price-point positioning.
- High shipping costs.
- Credit card gateway connectivity problems.
- Web site technical problems (page errors, connectivity issues, poor
navigation capabilities, insufficient bandwidth, etc...). |
