Benefits of using By the Numbers to access your Items Purchased by Customer Report.
As with every other BtN report, you can access filtering tools by date, range, sales channel and segment. However, there are more attractive features than that.
Custom Segmentation is the most relevant feature. Explore how specific segments of your audience behave regarding the number of items they include in their orders. Engage with those who only buy one product in campaigns with upselling goals. You could also offer new and personalized bundles to those who used to include more than one item in their carts. Use By the Numbers’ preset segments or create your own.
But that’s not all. By the Numbers app unlocks a world of possibilities. It allows you to retarget those segmented audiences through Klaviyo, Google Ads, TikTok Ads and Meta Ads and integrate their data into your reports. Who said it wasn’t possible? Now, you can segment the way you are meant to.
Custom Segmentation
You can either use By the Numbers preset segments or create personalized ones.
This is the quickest and most straightforward way to use preset filters or create custom ones:
1- Find the segments section on the left-hand menu once logged in to By the Numbers. You’ll see two tabs there: Preset Segments and Custom Segments.
2- Click the ‘Create Segment’ button at the top right corner. A window will pop up, allowing you to select the filters you want to use.
You ‘test your segment’ to see if it’s appropriately set up. It will also provide relevant insights into the customer segment you are about to create.
By the Numbers App Integrations
The other great feature is App Integration. By the Numbers can integrate with Klaviyo, Google Ads, TikTok Ads and Meta, so you can straight-forwardly retarget those essential segments of your audience that you’ve come across.
This is incredibly useful, and you can also use the data from Klaviyo, Google Ads, TikTok, and Meta and include it in your reports to easily track your spending on traffic acquisition activities without leaving the app.
How do you set it all up? It’s pretty simple:
1- Log in to By the Numbers and access Integrations on the left-hand menu in the settings section.
2- Pick the integration you mean to incorporate and follow the guidelines you will find there.
By the Numbers integrates seamlessly with Klaviyo, Google Ads, TikTok and Meta, granting you the ability to retarget customers through your favourite channel. Apart from this, you can include these platforms’ data in your BtN reports, which is very useful, for example, when analyzing how much you have to spend to attract your customers or planning a campaign to win them back. You can also add these platforms’ data to your reports, which is useful when tracking ad spending and acquisition costs or planning a win-back campaign.
