Revenue per Visitor

Revenue per Visitor (RPV)  is the amount of money each customer brings to your business. It is calculated by dividing the total revenue by the total number of unique customers visiting your website. For example, if your revenue for January is $20,000 and your site receives 2,000 visitors, your RPV would be $20,000/2,000 or $10 per visitor.

Revenue per Visitor = Total Revenue/Total number of unique visitors 

RPV is a vital metric and helps you evaluate the success of your company’s sales efforts. It is the method of estimating the value of each additional visitor. RPV can be increased by either increasing the number of visitors purchasing on your website (your conversion rate) or by increasing the amount of money spent per each visitor (average order value).

Vue.ai offers a robust personalization engine that can improve your RPV by:

  1. Providing opportunities to cross-sell/upsell products using bundling recommendation strategies.
  2. Deliver personalized recommendations that can delight your visitors and transform them into loyal customers.
  3. Send personalized emails targeted to distracted customers and reduce the cart abandonment rate.
