Marketing KPIs

Marketing guesswork wastes budget. A small set of well-chosen KPIs tells you what is working, what is not, and what to do next.

The KPIs that matter

  • Acquisition cost: how much to win a customer
  • Conversion rate: how many views become orders
  • Repeat purchase rate: how loyal customers are
  • Return rate: dissatisfaction and product-fit signals
  • Lifetime value: what a customer is worth over time

Acting on the data

Review KPIs regularly and connect cause to effect: change a listing, watch conversion; change a channel, watch acquisition cost. Data converts marketing from spending into investing.

A few disciplined KPIs turn marketing insight into a compounding improvement loop — guiding every spend decision.
