Product range, price and positioning optimisation is one of the most important requirements in eCommerce. The basis of this optimisation are questions like:
- Which products/categories can the visitors see?
- Which products/categories are the visitors interested in most?
- Which products/categories are bookmarked?
- Which products/categories are put into or removed from the shopping basket?
- Which products/categories are ordered?
- Which advertising measures lead to actual conversions after all returns and cancellations?
These questions can be answered in detail using the Product Performance Reports. You can find these reports under eCommerce Reports → Product Performance.
For the reports, advanced data recording must be integrated into the websites to be tracked so that events like “Seen”, “Bookmarked” or “Put in basket” can be transferred along with the order via the eCommerce API and compiled in the report.
