This plateaued and then tailed off towards the end of the month, however ending the month on a positive is a shows there are opportunities out there.

Ecommerce Gross Profits falling & Ecommerce costs of Sales under control in February 2023

CPA% & COS (the percentage cost paid directly to marketing channels) was 8.93%, this is nearly a 2.78% drop in spend compared to February 2022. This CPA% is very similar to January 2023 showing that cost of sales are stabilsing as we move forward in 2023.

The average ecommerce order value was £100.77 - which is 14.97% up on Febraury 2022.

IRP's 2023 prediction for 2023 is a fairly positive outlook for the year ahead, there are plenty of merchants continuing to grow revenue by increasing customer return rate and acquiring new customers at the right cost.

We are watching the markets carefully and see that the European Central Bank has raised eurozone interest rates by 50bp (0.5%) from 3% to 3.5%. This is going to further impact customers however March is showing positive growth and currently sitting north of 20% with St Patricks and Mother's Day activity still to come.

IRP Definitions & Calculations

All figures shown include VAT (Tax). Growth figures, if positive, are coloured green; if negative they are coloured red.

For consistency, this convention applies also to Cost Per Acquisition figures. Growth figures are calculated using the formula: (Difference between Most Recent Month & Earlier Month / Earlier Month) * 100. The formulae are applied to the underlying data and then rounded off; thus re-applying the formulae to the rounded off figures may produce very slightly different figures.

Sales Forecasts
These are based on machine learning to calculate what the Growth YOY is for the current month and year. These are updated every 30 minutes based on Live IRP Market Data.

Sales Growth
This is the percentage difference (positive or negative) between the Total Revenue (£) for the selected months. Monthly monetary values are not shown.

Cost Per Acquisition
This indicates how much it costs in terms of marketing spend to acquire sales, expressed as a percentage. For each month, the CPA% is calculated using the formula: Total Marketing Cost / Total Revenue (£) * 100. It can be thought of as the ecommerce cost of sale.

Conversion Rate
The Conversion Rate is the number of buyers by session - and is calculated using the formula: Total Transactions / Total Sessions * 100. Note that sessions are used in this calculation and not visitors. So if a visitor comes back 3 times it is 3 sessions - this lowers conversion rate but is the most consistent measurement to use.

Average Order Value
This is defined as the average monetary value of all orders in a single month. For each month, the AOV is calculated using the formula: Total Revenue (£) / Number of Orders.

Average Sale Price of Item
This is defined as the average price that products are sold for within a particular market or across all markets. For each month, the Average Sale Price is calculated using the formula: Total Revenue (£) / Number of Units Sold.

Traffic Channels
The pie chart shows the percentage contribution made by individual traffic channels to overall sales. The figures are calculated using the formula: Revenue from Traffic Channel (£) / Total Revenue (£) * 100.
