How to improve it
- Regular Monitoring: Don't just set your metrics and forget them. Regularly check your Shopify dashboard and any other analytics tools you're using.
- Adaptive Strategies: Use the insights gained from your metrics to adapt your business strategies. For instance, if you notice a high cart abandonment rate, consider streamlining your checkout process.
- Customer Retention: Look at metrics like Customer Lifetime Value and Returning Customer Rate to tailor your customer retention strategies.
- Cost Optimization: Keep an eye on Customer Acquisition Cost and compare it against Customer Lifetime Value to ensure you're not overspending to acquire new customers.
