Identifying Product Value

Not all products in an e-commerce store are worth the investment in advertising and promotion. Certain products can yield significantly higher repeat purchase rates and lifetime value compared to others. For instance, a watch that drives a higher percentage of repeat customers contributes more positively to overall profit over time than a perceived bestseller that may not have the same potential. Understanding the long-term contribution of each product helps in prioritizing where to allocate time, resources, and ad spend for optimal growth.
