i Marketing Strategy - Internet Marketing Benchmarks and Planning

What is your Web Traffic Worth?

Use the iMarketing Strategy Web Traffic ROI Calculator to get an idea.  If you are not familiar with the marketing terminology used in the calculator, follow the instructions below.

INSTRUCTIONS

Enter an estimate of how many visitors your expect to have at your web site, per week or per month. This number might also represent an expected, or desired, change in web traffic.

Select a Conversion Rate. This is the percent of visitors that come to your web site and buy something. For example, if 2 out of 100 visitors buy something, that is a 2% conversion rate.

Estimate your Average Order Value (AOV). This is how much a customer will typically spend when they buy something on your web site.

Enter an estimate of your Profit Margin. For example, if your average sale is $100, and it costs you $75, your profit margin is 25%. 

Enter the average number of purchases that your web customer will make in one year. If your average web customer makes 1 purchase once every 4 months, that would be 3 purchases per year. If they make 1 purchase every once every 24 months, that would be 0.5 purchases per year.

Estimate the number of years that your average customer will remain loyal to you. In other words, how many years will your customer continue to be your customer?

Your results will appear dynamically as you make any adjustment.

In addition to calculating the cumulative value of web traffic, the calculator also estimates the effective value of each and EVERY visitor to the web site. This measurement is valuable to know when building a web marketing and direct marketing strategy.  Remember, "you cannot manage what you do not measure", so tracking and understanding the right WEB METRICS are essential to successful a web site.
