art abandonment is an eCommerce store owner’s worst nightmare.
Who else agrees? ?
On average, a whopping 78% of customers will abandon their carts, and leave an eCommerce store without making a purchase.
Now, let’s put this into context.
Assuming your AOV is $100, and you have 10 customers who add items to their cart every day, this translates into a potential revenue of $1,000 per day.
That’s $30,000 of revenue per month…
Assuming your margin isn’t too low, you’ll earn a decent income.
But what happens when you factor in abandoned carts?
Your revenue plummets to $220 per day, and $6,600 per month.
Once you account for your Cost Of Goods Sold (COGS), inventory and warehousing, shipping fees, and marketing costs, you’ll be paying yourself a pittance.
Sucks, huh?
Thankfully, there are things you can do to reduce your cart abandonment rates.
