Overview
How effective is your online store at drawing your customers back time and time again? The Returning Customers e-commerce metric helps you track the percentage of your total visits from repeat customers.
A higher number of returning customers indicates that the business is successfully retaining its existing clients, which is essential for long-term growth and profitability. Retaining customers is often more cost-effective than acquiring new ones, as returning customers are more likely to make additional purchases and recommend the brand to others.
