In ecommerce the term Conversion Rate usually refers to the ratio between the number of visits to an online store and the number of purchases made in a given period of time. At the end of the day ecommerce success comes down to your ability to turn passive shoppers into paying customers. Which is why conversion metrics is the metric of all metrics. Yet 80% of online retailers do not use their analytics sufficiently. Many don't even track important actions like conversion rates and purchases. If you use analytics only to measure your daily traffic you're doing yourself and your customers a disservice. These above metrics may be good by industry standard but there is always room for improvement especially for the weaker industries. Regardless of its key importance conversion optimization seems to remain the most neglected part of digital marketing.

The average conversion rate for international eCommerce stores has been hanging around the 1.4% mark. Why are companies not taking conversion metrics more seriously? Because they don't know where to begin. That's where ChannelSight's Buy Now technology comes in helping you acquire more customers and land more sales than ever before.
