E-COMMERCE Here’s why your conversion rates might be slowing down Two things that are hard on the stomach: Getting sick in a foreign country, and watching your conversions drop. Thankfully, the cause for dropping conversion rates might be simpler—and easier to fix—than you think… What’s going on: [A study found out that in the UK](, the number of purchases conducted through Buy now, pay later (BPNL) almost doubled after February 2022. The reason: The rising cost of living. Inflation is prompting consumers to look for stores with BNPL enabled. If that's not you… You know what to do. … And it’s not just the UK: In the US, [four in five consumers]( use BNPL for almost every type of purchase, from clothing to cleaning supplies. Good news for merchants, bad news for consumers: In the UK, one third of BNPL shoppers declared that they are not able to manage payments. BNPL is causing debt problems, so [the UK introduced new regulations]( to protect consumers from getting into financial issues. Why we care: Up until now BNPL was an optional add-on to your e-commerce store. But it’s clearly gaining traction, which means it’s slowly becoming a “must” for some brands.

Molly Winik explains how to calculate the size of your market [in this Similarweb blog post.]( There are three different metrics you can use. Let’s pretend we’re selling toothbrushes to make understanding the metrics easier: Total addressable market (TAM): The TAM represents the entire potential value of the market. There are two ways to determine this: - Add up figures for toothbrush sales per grocery chain, pharmacy, and retailer. - Estimate how many toothbrushes per year the average person buys. Multiply it by the number of people in your market, say the US. And then multiply it by the average toothbrush price. Serviceable addressable market (SAM): This refers to a specific audience segment that your product targets. Sticking with our toothbrush analogy, that would be the total amount of electric toothbrushes for kids sold online. Serviceable obtainable market (SOM): This is the proportion of your SAM that you can likely obtain with your offer. To calculate this, divide last year’s revenue by last year’s SAM. That’s your market share. Then, multiply your market share by the dollar value of this year’s SAM. … And that’s your SOM. As you can tell, determining your TAM, SAM and SOM is simple math. The hard part is getting the data. There are a few different ways to do this: - Research existing reports, studies, and whitepapers online to estimate the size of your market. - Refer to financial reports. Public companies have to share their financial reports with the public. - Look into market research tools and companies. - Conduct interviews. Talk to people in your industry to gather information about your market size. Now put it all together: Compare the data you collected to get a better estimation of your TAM, SAM and SOM. Good luck!

Today, we want to provide you with a healthy list of examples to help you get started. It’s impossible to list them all, but this should give you plenty of ideas and inspiration: - Breaking up with your partner → Buy a gym membership. - Lose your job → Buy a “make money online” course. - Exit a startup → Buy real estate. - Start a business → Subscribe to a mentorship. - Break or lose something → Buy it again. - Lose a client → Buy a course to get more clients. - Start freelancing → Buy freelance invoicing software. - Move to a new house → Buy new furniture. - Move to a new country → Learn the language. - Get a higher-paying job → Buy fancy things like a new car, computer, etc. When you say them out loud, they all sound like common-sense. The fascinating thing is that most purchase trigger events can be grouped into a few categories: - Financial status: More money, less money. - Career: Becoming a founder, for example. - Location: Moving to a new apartment, house, city, or country. - Personal life: Loss of a loved one, ending a relationship, starting a new relationship. The Crew’s Insight: For your own product, try to identify which category and which types of trigger events your customers are experiencing before they make a purchase. This can help you determine how to position and sell your products effectively. Good luck!
