If you have read our case studies or any of our amazing content, you know that add-to-cart rates are an essential part of how Because users can measure success across their Shopify stores. Add-to-cart rates are important in measuring several things about your ecommerce shop. They can tell us how effective our content is across product pages. Add-to-cart rates can set you up to learn about your target audience and site visitors.
Littledata surveyed 2,305 stores in March 2022 and found the average add-to-cart rate was at 5.0%. Littledata answered the question everyone wants to know, “what is a good add-to-cart rate?” “Anything more than 8.3% would put you in the best 20% of stores we benchmark for add-to-cart rate, and more than 10.4% would put you in the best 10%.”
Because users and add to cart rates:
The 90-day MA (moving average) shows an average increase of add-to-cart rates by +2.1% since installing Because. Our initial hypothesis was that by placing targeted unique content across customer product pages, we could increase add-to-cart rates, and therefore product page conversion.
Out of the top 100 companies analyzed who have had our app installed for 3 months or more, there is a noticeable positive trend. The current 90th percentile for which is at +2.1%. Assuming an average 5.4% add-to-cart rate for ecommerce stores, a 2.1% increase is equal to a 38% increase!
We have seen firsthand how users like Marisa in Motion increased their add-to-cart rate and can measure their site visits. After a year of using Because, Marisa in Motion’s Because campaigns brought in over 40,813 views. They saw an average 2% increase in their add-to-cart rate on products with messaging using Because.
