The document analyzes an e-commerce company's traffic and revenue sources in 2012. It found that email marketing drove the highest revenue and conversion rate. Direct traffic drove the most visits but conversions were down. Paid promotions over Black Friday, Cyber Monday, and subsequent retargeting campaigns significantly increased visits, revenue, and orders compared to the previous year. Projections estimate continued growth in the email list, visits, and revenue through targeted messaging.

Even
though
we
had
a
great
response
on
Cyber
Monday,
with
a
1.56%
conversion
rate,
our
suspicion
is
that
consumers
were
feeling
sale
fa:gue,
and
we
had
a
high
rate
of
cart
abandonment.
Through
a
retarge:ng
campaign
reminding
consumers
of
their
incomplete
order,
and
offering
the
added
incen:ve
of
another
15%
off
the
already
heavily
discounted
set,
we
brought
them
back,
increasing
our
conversion
rate
by
1.17%,
revenue
by
506.1%,
and
transac:ons
by
59.2%.
Keeping

focused

point

kept

but
orders
were
flat.
And
again,
we
saw
a
high
