Chart of the Day: Average Product Page View, Add-to-cart and conversion to sale rates for eretailers
In our compilation of average ecommerce conversion rates we compare different sources, showing the challenge of converting retail site visitors to add-to-basket sessions and sale.
I’m sharing this funnel-based view of the conversion process since it also shows the conversion rates to product page views which aren’t published so often:
As would be expected, the number of sessions with product page views is much higher than the other micro-conversions, approaching 50 percent. This provides a useful benchmark and prompts retailers that it’s useful to track conversion to product page views when making site design improvements.
It also reminds us of the value of following up on interest in specific products and categories via sending personalized browse abandon emails which is the focus of the post where I found these stats featured.
