Average Order Value Report

AOV takes you one step closer to a smarter, data-driven decision

Why is AOV so important for your store?

When AOV is measured, you get to understand how much our customers spend in your store, and this is capital if you want to optimize your pricing plan. It is very useful to find patterns in your customer’s behaviour, thus allowing you to anticipate what your buyers will do in the future and so, prepare for making the most of it. This is where the Average Order Value Shopify report comes in handy.

You might notice that a particular segment of your customers spend more than others. If you are aware of this, you will be able to adapt your marketing efforts to make the most of this pattern emphasising this segment when setting up your offering plan. For instance, returning customers usually spend more than one-time customers so you might like to engage in a series of customer win-back actions.

It is not only related to which customers buy, but also to when your audience spends more or less on your products. For example, some costumers spend more in December than they do in May. You might also find that the AOV in a certain country is higher or lower than in others, so you can act accordingly to capitalize on it.

In other words, when you measure your AOV you open yourself to better data-driven decisions about offers, promotions and pricing in general.
