Gain insight into how your Average Order Value compares to the past

When looking at your Shopify store's metrics it's important to compare how they are performing versus your past performance. Comparing your store against the industry or a competitor can be useful for benchmarking, but it doesn't tell you much about how you've improved. Only that you're better, equal, or worse...

How broken habits might be hurting your Shopify store's sales

Though we are all unique individuals, the majority of our activities are driven by habits. If your customers habits are to reorder after they run out of your product and you can see that, it's reasonable then to predict when they'll be buying again. Even the best habits get broken...

Using historic data to optimize your Shopify store's marketing

With the weather warming up for Spring here I've started to plant the next phase of our garden. We want to plant seeds when the soil is warm enough but we also don't want to wait too long or we'll miss out on our short growing season. Last Friday when...

Updated recommended product review apps for Shopify

With Spring heating up competition for merchants, I'm having a lot more stores asking me for product review app recommendations. Those apps can be a conversion booster for social proof but many where impacted by Google's algorithm update last September/October. Given the amount of (in)action I've seen by them, I've...

These are not the bars you are looking for

When working on your product descriptions it's important to use all of the words customers use. I was searching our hardware store's website for a crowbar but their search turned up nothing. Even with different spelling combinations. Odd... I did a more general search to see if there was an...
