    Love your videos, and this was just what i needed!
    I started my store the 19th march and running meta ads, so far my ATC is 6.50 %, Reached checkout 3,63 % and conversion 3 %. Have had 15 orders so far.
    CPM is $21.72 and CPC $ 0,67. Markup is about 40-50 %. Im selling in the $25-40 range and average order value is $40.
    I'm barely profitable, and think it might be because of my markup and CPM. After watching your video im thinking about raising my prices a bit, which i guess will hurt my conversion rate. Do you have any advice or tips?

    • @theecomzone
      @theecomzone  5 місяців тому

      Not a bad ATC rate at all, looking very promising with your store metrics. Now it's time to create a BOF campaign and iron out your automated email flows. Make sure your abandoned cart emails have discount codes. You can always adjust prices slightly and see how it reacts but no more than a few dollars. Add more products to your store as well.
      If you want you can book a discovery call with me here calendly.com/theecomzone/30min. There is a small £10 fee to avoid scammers, spammers and no-shows. I guarantee you that you will come out of the call with a better idea of how to become profitable in the long run.

You can mention how it can make them feel, how it will transform their space, etc. Many ways to do it.
