Conversion Rate and Conversion Cost

We need campaigns and channels with low conversion cost and high conversion rate.

Conversion Rate

  • percentage of potential customers who take a desired action out of the total number of prospects:
    – making a purchase
    – signing up for a newsletter
    – filling out a contact form
  • 1,000 leads => 200 of them make a purchase= 20% conversion rate
  • critical indicator of how well marketing and sales strategies are working to engage and convert leads
  • higher conversion rate = marketing and sales tactics effectively resonate with the target audience and drive them to take the desired actions
  • Monitor to:
    – optimise customer journeys,
    – refine messaging
    – improve touchpoints further.

Conversion cost

  • average cost of converting a lead into a customer
  • $20,000 on a campaign => 200 conversions, the conversion cost = $100
  • low conversion cost = > maximum ROI
  • high conversion cost=reassess = > to reduce spending without compromising conversion rates
    – campaigns,
    – target audiences
    – marketing channels
  • conversion rate = effectiveness
  • conversion cost = efficiency
  • allocate resources to the most effective campaigns and channels = with a low conversion cost and high conversion rate
  • high conversion rate paired with a low conversion cost = highly successful and cost-effective marketing campaign
  • high conversion cost or low conversion rate = marketing tactics need refinement: reduce waste, improve lead-to-customer conversion rates.
