texte = Ok the typical New Years Eve bash...but was listening to a person at the party spouting off about a ratio I never heard of before 3% purchase to hits ratio. I assume he means visits. This was the yard stick they claimed was some web commerce valid shopping site info. And if you were below this number you site was not designed right..on and on and on. Meaning I think...100 visitors and 3 would make purchases. Anybody ever hear this type of data?Of course the client I consult on was right there and when we ran the numbers on their site we were less then 1 percent. Lots of lookers but no buyers.I would think it would have to do with the product being sold. Meaning some products are going to have higher ratios then others.Anybody here care to comment. And you can take it private if you feel this is way off topic for this list.=============================================== Gary Richter PanaVise Products, Inc. 7540 Colbert Dr. Reno, Nevada 89511 Ph: 702.850.2900 Fx: 702.850.2929 Email: grichter@panavise.com http://www.panavise.com =============================================== Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
