In this episode of Five Minute Friday, we’re continuing our Know Your Numbers series by highlighting one of the most powerful tools in your retail business: conversion rate.
Your conversion rate isn’t just a performance stat—it’s your daily truth teller. When you track it consistently, it helps you identify whether you need more traffic or better in-store or online performance to grow your sales.
🔑 Key Takeaways:
Use Conversion to Clarify What’s Really Happening
Learn how to calculate conversion rate by dividing transactions by foot traffic or web visitors.
Discover how this one metric helps you determine if you have a traffic issue or a sales opportunity.
Stop Guessing—Start Tracking
Track traffic daily with a door counter or Google Analytics.
Use fluctuations to identify patterns and shifts in customer engagement.
Diagnose Performance and Improve Strategy
If traffic is steady but conversion is low, focus on improving in-store experience, team training, and product relevance.
If conversion is high but traffic is down, prioritize driving new visitors to your store or site.
Leverage Boutique Hub Tools for Smarter Growth
