A significant portion of ad sales compared to organic sales may indicate a strong ad performance or a reliance on paid advertising. Monitor the balance to ensure you're not over-reliant on ads for sales, which can affect profitability.

Products typically bought by customers as one-time purchases often exhibit a higher proportion of sales driven by advertisements, given that their sales rely heavily on acquiring new customers. Conversely, products that enjoy a satisfied and returning customer base should experience organic sales growth over time, which can be comparable to or even surpass sales generated through advertising.

This analysis is crucial for understanding which advertising methods are the most effective for your products.

Other campaign types, meanwhile, are effective for increasing brand awareness and attracting top-of-funnel interest.

This chart displays the cost per click over time, a crucial metric for assessing the cost-effectiveness of advertising campaigns. Generally, CPC should correlate closely with ACoS; that is, to lower ACoS, the cost of each click must also decrease.

Setting unrealistically low ACoS or TACoS targets, considering your product's appeal and conversion rates, can lead to a point where CPCs must be reduced so significantly that you become non-competitive in the advertising auction. In such a situation, it's advisable to reevaluate your product offering.

These charts detail which categories and ASINs are driving ad sales, providing insights into where to focus your advertising efforts. Dominant categories or ASINs in ad sales may represent your most marketable products. Consider concentrating ad spend on these high-performers to maximize returns.

By showcasing the percentage contribution of each term to total sales, it underscores the 'Vital Few'—the top-performing search terms responsible for the majority of your sales revenue, often represented by the 80/20 Pareto principle.

The Customer dashboard offers a unique view of your customer trends, differentiating between new and returning customers over selected periods. Explore geographic insights, analyze cohort-based lifetime value, and understand purchase behaviors. With metrics such as CAC, Lifetime Value, and Breakeven ACOS, this dashboard equips you to refine customer retention efforts and optimize sales strategies.

This chart compares new customers against the number of returning ones, providing insights into customer loyalty and the reach of your advertising.

The break-even ACoS, indicating the maximum percentage of sales revenue that can be spent on advertising without incurring a loss.

Use this chart to ensure advertising spend is justified by the revenue generated from customers. A high LTV compared to the break-even ACoS indicates a profitable advertising strategy. If ACoS approaches or exceeds the LTV, it's a signal to reassess advertising efficiency or work on increasing customer revenue.

The key takeaway is to aim for a high LTV while keeping ACoS well below it, maximizing profitability. This can be achieved by enhancing customer retention, offering more value, and optimizing advertising to reduce costs.

The Cohort Analysis table is a tool for sellers to evaluate the performance of their customer acquisition over time. It shows the number of new customers each month, the cost of acquiring them (CAC), total sales per cohort, and the lifetime value (LTV) those customers are expected to bring. The table also includes the LTV/CAC ratio, which measures the return on investment for acquiring customers, and the break-even Advertising Cost of Sale (ACoS), indicating the sustainability of advertising expenses.

Sellers can spot which months yielded higher-value customers and which strategies were more cost-effective. For instance, a month with a high LTV/CAC ratio suggests efficient marketing spending, while a high break-even ACoS could prompt a review of advertising strategies. The goal for sellers is to maximize LTV while minimizing CAC for the best long-term profitability.

The geographic distribution map is more than just a visual representation of where your customers are—it's a strategic tool for customizing your advertising and distribution. It reveals high-demand areas where you might focus your off-Amazon efforts or consider tailoring your product to better meet customer needs. Conversely, it can also highlight regions where you might need to increase activities to grow your customer base.

The timing between a customer's initial purchase and their follow-up can be a critical indicator of customer engagement and satisfaction. This metric helps sellers understand how effectively their brand is at encouraging repeat business. Quicker second purchases can often be encouraged through timely and personalized follow-up communications, special offers, or loyalty incentives, shortening the sales cycle and increasing customer lifetime value.

Autron's Insights feature equips Amazon sellers with critical data to fine-tune their strategies for enhanced customer retention and optimized sales. From tracking sales and traffic patterns to analyzing customer acquisition and advertising efficiency, this powerful tool aids in making informed decisions to boost profitability. By leveraging insights such as LTV, CAC, and break-even ACOS, sellers can strategically navigate the competitive landscape of online retail.
