Digital Sales Channel Benchmarking

Benchmark analyses of digital distribution

Your solution for an optimised digital sales strategy

In an increasingly digital world, it is essential for companies to regularly benchmark their online performance and compare it with their competitors. This need is reinforced by the fact that historical data is losing comparability and relevance due to recent crises. Meanwhile, online channels clearly play a key role in reaching target groups, attracting new customers and realising cross-selling and upselling opportunities from existing customers.

FAQ

How long does it take to carry out the benchmark analyses of your digital distribution?

The creation of your personal digital sales benchmarking can be implemented at short notice (e.g. in a fortnight) depending on the scope.

What data do I need to provide for my digital sales benchmarking?

We do not need any additional data provided by you for a sound and accurate analysis. We have extensive access to various benchmarking tools, studies and databases. You are welcome to provide us with additional analysis data such as your web traffic, conversion rates, ROI or CLV values for a digital sales benchmarking.

How is the data collected and which tools are used for digital sales benchmarking?

To generate the best possible information on the performance of your sales channel management as well as that of your competitors, we complement your data using various external tools and data sources. We have a number of internal benchmarking databases and enterprise licences of leading analysis and benchmarking tools. These can, for example, access data sources from internet providers and carry out special analyses of you and your competitors using our own web crawlers.

Is a one-off or continuous benchmarking comparison recommended?

Both variants are available to you.
A one-off competitive comparison gives you an overview of how you are positioned in the market environment at any given time, including the possibility of deriving any measures.
Recurring competitive comparisons improve your understanding of the market in the long term and enable you to measure the success of your own measures and those initiated by others. Furthermore, one-off fluctuations can be recognised and market trends derived.
