Common Measurement Mistakes
- • Measuring conversion rate without accounting for the multi-month research/consideration cycle typical of durable goods
- • Under-promoting warranty/service attachment at the point of sale, leaving high-margin revenue on the table
- • Not tracking satisfaction over the full ownership period, only at time of purchase
Best-Practice Notes
- • Use long attribution windows and track "return visitor" conversion separately from first-visit conversion
- • Bundle warranty/service offers at checkout with clear value framing, not as an afterthought upsell
- • Survey satisfaction at multiple ownership milestones (30/180/365 days), not just post-purchase
