Measuring Marketplace Success
Optimizing content for a specific eCommerce site or marketplace requires building a strong set of performance metrics. With close measurement it’s possible to determine the impact of different strategies on driving the overall sales of the product. While the ultimate measure of success is revenue, there are additional metrics that help identify progress and dissect what’s working and what’s not.
It’s always a good idea to compare a content test to a group of products that don’t include any new content strategy. This acts as a control group which is necessary to estimate the incremental benefit of the strategy.
The list below is a set of common marketplace metrics worth tracking.
