I’m not sure if i’m doing it correctly, but i get around 1% :D

I would have thought 0.4 to 0.6% be more likely, 1% is awesome …6% absolutely incredible

The conversion rate applies weather its 10 days old or 10,000 days old. So kind of irrelevant statement.

Using your math

Purchases / Uniques x 100 its a conversion rate.

So either you have limited uniques and high sales or pro rata..

Conversion rate is jut a % but is very significant, 6% seems extraordinarily high based on just under 1500 sales, perhaps you get lesser uniques..which results in higher gain…i dont know, either way it is miles above others i would guess.

Most direct sales companies work on 40% min. But thats a different beast

Well it can change over time. The more time measured, the smoother the average. I’m just saying I didn’t pick my best day and calculated the conversion rate on that given day but I set analytics from the start to the current day and measured like that.

Be interesting to make that an app, as conversion rates are generically the measure of market penetration. Some graphing would be a nice touch.
