Amazon Revenue Scorecard: The Data Brands Need to Succeed on Amazon

For far too long, brands have lacked a data-driven methodology to gauge the health of their ecommerce strategies relative to their competitors.  As the top ecommerce accelerator, Pattern knew its proprietary technology and data could solve this for brands, so we leveraged our AI, rich Amazon seller information, and millions of cross-category data-driven insights to provide all brands, in any category with the information they need to succeed on Amazon.

The result—the Amazon Revenue Scorecard.  The scorecard provides a powerful way to simply and transparently assess how a brand's ecommerce strategies are performing relative to their competition and where they can optimize to maximize their revenue potential.

What an Amazon Revenue Scorecard Measures

The Amazon Revenue Scorecard was developed by Pattern’s data scientists to holistically measure the ecommerce performance of a brand’s top products across three key drivers—traffic, conversion, and price—and 18 dimensions that impact a brand’s ecommerce revenue growth. The result is a score from 1-10 that helps brands measure their performance relative to their competitors.  Strategically, an Amazon Revenue Scorecard is a rating index that provides real-time data to highlight missed revenue growth opportunities.

Why an Amazon Revenue Scorecard Matters

An Amazon Revenue Scorecard analyzes your top 25 ASINs to identify strengths, weaknesses, and gaps in revenue growth potential on ecommerce marketplaces. With a rank score of 1-10 in each revenue performance metric, it helps a brand understand the full picture—identify problem areas quickly and lean in on strengths. The higher the score, the more revenue you’ll generate on an ecommerce marketplace.

The key levers in the score are traffic, conversion, and price, which are the key variables in the ecommerce equation (traffic x conversion x availability x price = revenue) for all brands. As the top ecommerce accelerator, Pattern knows that the ecommerce equation  is essential for brands to drive revenue. Therefore, it is imperative that brands continue to monitor the health of each input in order to have long-term success. Here we breakdown the three key drivers of a brand’s scorecard:

Evaluate Marketplace Ecommerce Traffic

Traffic is the first strategic lever to drive revenue on marketplaces. Without generating more ecommerce traffic to your listings, you don’t have a hope of increasing marketplace revenue. A traffic score breaks down and rates your ecommerce traffic in the following key areas:

• Paid Traffic — the effectiveness of a brand’s advertising efforts, including keyword strategy, ad programs and tactics
• Organic Traffic — how well a brand is capturing organic traffic within its category
• Marketplace Coverage — how many global marketplaces (Amazon, eBay, Walmart, etc.) a brand’s products are being sold

Calculate Conversion Opportunities on Marketplaces

Conversion is the second strategic lever to drive revenue on ecommerce marketplaces. Once potential buyers interact with your product, they have to be compelled to convert on the listing. The conversion score breaks down and rates your marketplace conversion into five key areas:

• Listing Titles, Bullets, and Description — the degree to which a brand is utilizing best practices for each
• Listing Images and Videos — how well a brand is using high-quality and optimized multimedia to convey product features and benefits
• Content — how well a brand is conveying its voice and branding across the marketplace
• Ratings & Reviews — how well a brand’s products are being accepted by shoppers according to ratings and reviews
• Competitiveness — the degree to which a brand effectively utilizes promotional elements on its product pages

Monitor Price Across Marketplaces and Sellers

Pricing is the third strategic lever to drive revenue on marketplaces. Without consistent pricing across marketplaces and sellers, your profits will steadily erode and you’ll have a hard time winning the Buy Box on Amazon and other marketplaces. The price score breaks down and rates your ecommerce price into four key areas:

• Channel Conflict — the likelihood that an online marketplace will undercut a brand’s brick and mortar retail partners on other platforms and channels
• Number of Sellers— the number of unique entities selling a brand’s products on a given marketplace
• Product Compliance — a measure of the stability of the price of a brand’s products on a given marketplace
• Cross-Channel Consistency — an assessment of the price consistency of a brand’s products across ecommerce marketplaces and D2C websites
