Treat success in RETAIL like you are running a marathon. It is challenging but doable.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Look at this blog like a race. Throughout the race, there are different checkpoints. Each checkpoint is an important metric that adds to the success of your store. The finish line is the indicator that shows how well you have been doing overall. These key performance indicators (KPIs) help your retail business grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

KPIs are critical to the success of any retail business. They will determine whether certain employees are performing effectively and can identify areas for improvement. This process is in place to ensure your store can operate smoothly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At StoreForce, we like to prioritise the following indicators the most!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

STARTING LINE: TRAFFIC<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without foot traffic, you won\u2019t be able to sell any product to interested customers. Keeping count of your store traffic enables you to know whether your store is in a good location, and highlights levels of opportunity. Traffic also serves as the baseline metric for many other KPIs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE ROUNDABOUT: CONVERSION RATE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Noticing how well you are doing on the shop floor proves the effectiveness of your staff in getting the first item in the basket. Knowing this data will allow you to see if you are optimizing your time and staff effectively. If traffic measures your opportunity, conversion measures how much of that opportunity you are realizing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE STRAIGHT AWAY: UNITS PER TRANSACTION (UPT)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Focus and see what your customers are buying. How likely are they to wardrobe?  How attractive is your current BOGO promotion or attachment items?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This information benefits your promotional and selling tactics. If UPT is low, ask yourself: are staff spending enough time with each customer?  Are they explaining our promotions and trying to sell add-ons?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FINAL STRETCH: AVERAGE TRANSACTION VALUE (ATV)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trend in the average value of transactions provides insight into the actions of your Associates.  The behaviours that drive ATV are the opposite of those that drive Conversion.  If your ATV is suffering, your Associates may not be presenting options to customers or wardrobing to build the basket size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FINISH LINE: SALES<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the day, sales are what matters.  However, sales are the \u2018end product\u2019 of the other KPIs.  Traffic X Conversion X ATV = Sales.  The levers that the stores have to pull during the race are ATV and Conversion, with UPT being a key aspect of ATV.  How well each metric does will determine the total amount of sales done in a day. Prioritise the behaviours that drive each KPI accordingly to maximise your sale potential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now imagine, while running a race, there is hardly any time to look at the checkpoints and metrics. As we said earlier, run retail like a marathon. Instead of analyzing \u2018What happened\u2019 post-marathon, let us analyse \u2018What is happening’ in real-time. With all the information about retail checkpoints available at your fingertips, you can instantly hop onto a better path for overall success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
