Qu’est-ce que AOV and Pourquoi C’est Important

Average commande value (AOV) is the average amount a client spends per transaction. It is calculated by dividing total chiffre d’affaires by the number of commandes. AOV is one of the three fundamental levers of e-commerce chiffre d’affaires (the others being traffic and taux de conversion), and it is arguably the easiest to améliorer because it works on clients who have already decided to buy.

The complete AOV guide covers the foundational stratégie. The core insight is this: increasing AOV requires no additional traffic and no additional conversion optimization. You are simply getting more chiffre d’affaires from clients who are already in the buying mindset. A 20% AOV augmenter on a $100,000/month store adds $20,000/month -- $240,000/year -- with zero coût d’acquisition client.

The AOV benchmarks by industry help you understand where your store stands relative to concurrents. If your AOV is below the industry median, there are almost certainly quick wins available through the stratégies outlined in this hub. If your AOV is unexplainably low, our diagnostic guide identifies the most common causes.

All with zero additional coût d’acquisition client.
