Batch and blast e-commerce advice is not only sometimes inaccurate, it’s repetitive. Every business is different, so the more granular that data reporting can become, the more relevant and useful it is for you, the merchant. We aim to provide just that. After examining over 36 million impressions and 1 million sales, the data speaks volumes on how promotional marketing worked in 2017, and how to leverage this incredible tool for 2018.
This data range covers the days from 11/23 to 11/27, otherwise known as ‘Cyber 5’ the biggest days for holiday shopping throughout the year.
Important Note on Data:
When we refer to ‘engaged’ this means that a visitor has interacted (email sign up, CTA click, etc.) with a Justuno promotion. For example, ‘Engaged CVR’ refers to the conversion rate of the population of visitors who have engaged with a Justuno promotion. Normal CVR refers to the visitors who have never interacted with a Justuno promotion and their respected conversion rate.
Cart abandonment statistics
Statistics on Cart Abandonment can give huge insight into the general nature of cart abandonment rates in e-commerce. By segmenting the data to focus on digital marketing strategy in very specific verticals, we are not only able to measure the efficacy of promotional marketing but explain the best ways to leverage it by referencing clear numbers.
This data explains how Cart Abandonment rate was affected by not only an increased amount of traffic but also how Justuno performs on key holiday dates in relation to reducing lost sales.
- Cart Abandonment Percentage during Cyber 5 (75.33%)
- Cart Abandonment Percentage after engaging with a promotion (71.74%)
Segmenting cart abandonment data by device type gives insight into the habits of online shoppers before and after interacting with promotions created in Justuno. Mobile is highly regarded in the eyes of online store owners as the new frontier, so tracking the effect of promotional marketing on that traffic is critical.
Key takeaways
Platform-wide during Cyber 5, the cart abandonment percentage was actually higher (6.29% industry average)
- Reasoning: More people shopping and adding products to cart (see Section 2) will lead to a higher amount of abandoned carts, regardless conversion percentages were higher across the board.
- Cart Abandonment Rate is 6.29% higher than the industry average on Cyber 5 Weekend, but after interacting with a Justuno promotion it’s only 0.49% higher than the industry average.
- Interacting with a promotion significantly reduces Cart Abandonment, even during an abnormal surge of more visitors abandoning their carts.
The cart abandoner
Cart Abandoner promotions decreased abandonment rate for both mobile and desktop. This means that even during a season of greatly increased traffic, utilizing a cart abandonment promotion on your store saves potentially lost sales and encourages visitors to complete their purchase.
- Desktop shoppers are more likely to complete the checkout AND are more likely to check out after interacting with a Justuno promotion
- Mobile shoppers are more likely to abandon their cart (3.20% higher than avg) but still decrease by (1.77%) after engaging with a Justuno promotion.
- Desktop shoppers are less likely to abandon carts
- Mobile shoppers are significantly less likely to abandon their carts after they interact with a Justuno promotion
Visitors who added products to their cart
Tracking visitors who add products to their cart provides insight into how engaged your visitors are before and after they interact with a promotion created in Justuno. When a shopper adds a product to a cart, they are just one step away from completing their purchase!
- The percentage that Added Products to Cart – 20.80%
- The percentage that Added Products to Cart after engaging with a promotion – 44.76%
Key takeaways

Visitors that added products to their cart by device type
Segmenting the previous group of data by device type shows the difference in between engagement of online shoppers when they are on a certain device (desktop or mobile). Creating certain promotions to target devices can increase conversions as well as engagements.
Key takeaways
- 109% Increase in visitors who added products to a cart if they engage with a Justuno promotion.
- Although visitors are more likely to add a product to their cart if they are on Desktop, interacting with a Justuno promotion on mobile increases the likelihood of adding a product to a cart by a slightly higher margin compared to desktop.
- More visitors adding a product to cart gives increased chance for tactics such as upselling and cross-selling.
Upselling & cross-selling promotions
Using product upsell/cross-sell promotions to encourage visitors to add specific paired products to their cart can lead to increased AOV (Average Order Value) beyond a single product purchase. Due to the fact that visitors are 109% more likely to add a product to their cart after interacting with a Justuno promotion, pairing specific products through promotions and driving them to purchase can cement AOV increases.
