Great traffic collection
Getting traffic for our digital business to a reasonable CPC and CPL is probably the most important variable for the survival and growth of ecommerce. The overall conversion rate of an ecommerce is 0.9% in 2017, so we will need important traffic volumes to achieve our objectives.

Know the different traffic channels (Organic, Direct, Paid Search, Referral, Display …) as well as its structure (do they assist in the conversion or convert?) And the comparison by device (Desktop, Mobile, Tablet) will help us to decide better our strategy

Recurrence of users
When we have stabilized the costs of our traffic and we have focused on the conversion we must work on the recurrence of users. If we analyze the segment of recurring users (they buy more than 3 times a year) we see that it is the most profitable by far. In addition, you have greater opportunities to recommend our brand or speak well of it.

When we find products or services that by their nature are little recurring we have to choose to improve the average value of the order. Use cross selling, up selling, discount coupons, deferred financing, free shipping, … These actions will make us more profitable traffic.
