From early November to Christmas, traffic spikes and carts start filling fast. For shoppers, it’s deal season; for brands, it’s make-or-break time to turn that traffic into real revenue.
But too many eCommerce teams still chase clicks instead of conversions — leading to big traffic numbers, low sell-through, and uneven product performance.
To actually grow revenue, it’s not just about how many people visit — it’s about what you show and where.
A data-driven product display strategy that highlights top-converting items can make every visit count. Your homepage, category pages, and banners shouldn’t be based on gut feeling, but on insight — showing the right products, at the right time, to the right shoppers.
The key isn’t just how many products you show — it’s how efficiently each exposure converts.
Data shows that visibility is often heavily concentrated on a small number of products. In other words, most shoppers see only a limited selection, while the majority of products never even get a chance to be viewed.
At first, concentrating on a few top-performing items might seem efficient. But in the long run, it limits customer discovery and leaves new or overstocked products unseen.
That’s why you need a data-driven strategy based on exposure metrics. High impressions don’t always equal high efficiency — what really matters is whether those impressions drive action. You need to look at how often an exposure leads to clicks, views, and ultimately, purchases.
Because in the end, holiday revenue isn’t decided by how much you show — it’s by how effectively those exposures turn into conversions.

📊 INSIGHT. Top-Selling Doesn’t Always Mean Best-Performing
Datarize helps identify not just what sells a lot, but what sells efficiently by combining impression, click, and purchase data in one view. |
Datarize provides not only impression data, but also click-through rate, view rate, conversion rate, and revenue — giving you a complete picture of how each product performs. By understanding these metrics together, you can instantly see which products truly capture customer interest and drive actual purchases.
| Metric | Formula | Definition |
|---|---|---|
| Click Rate | Click ÷ Impression | It shows how attractive your thumbnail, product name, and price appear to shoppers. A higher CTR means your product makes a stronger first impression |
| View Rate | Views ÷ Impressions | This shows how often a product is viewed after being displayed, helping you gauge how effectively your exposure drives real shopper interest. |
| Purchase Conversion Rate (CVR) | Purchase ÷ Views | It shows the percentage of product views that turn into purchases — reflecting how well your product options, pricing, and detail page content drive buying decisions. |
| Revenue | Price x Total quantity (incld. canceled purchases) | It shows the total revenue generated by a product during the selected period — helping you measure campaign effectiveness and analyze ROI more accurately |
During peak shopping seasons, customer interests can change by the hour — and during major events like Black Friday, product rankings can flip overnight. That’s why static reports aren’t enough. With Datarize Analytics, you can instantly track exposure, CTR, and CVR over any time range — helping you react quickly, adapt your product lineup, and capture every opportunity as it happens.
1️⃣ Identify the Right Metrics
Look beyond total impressions — track impressions, CTR, and CVR together to spot which products turn visibility into real conversions. The first step is identifying items with the strongest conversion efficiency, not just the highest exposure.
2️⃣ Reorder for Maximum Efficiency
Place high-performing products in top or high-traffic areas. For items with lots of views but low conversions, refine images, copy, or pricing. Even small adjustments in placement or messaging can significantly lift CTR and Purchase CVR.
3️⃣ Test, Measure, and Keep Optimizing
After rearranging displays, monitor how your key metrics change. Compare performance using efficiency indicators like revenue per exposure, and continue optimizing your product lineup to stay aligned with shifting trends and seasonal demand.
Purchase CVR below 1% (fewer than 1 purchase per 100 views): Reorganize your recommendation or featured sections to improve product visibility and placement.
Click Rate below 1–2%: Test new thumbnails, titles, and discount messages to make products more clickable.
High Click Rate but low Purchase CVR: Strengthen your product detail pages with better visuals, reviews, and coupon incentives to convert interest into sales.
Sudden spike in impressions for certain products: Spot emerging trends quickly and highlight related items on your main pages to capture momentum.
Prepare for Black Friday, Christmas, and the year-end shopping rush with insights that show exactly which products capture attention — and when.
When you know which products resonate with which customers at the right time, you can go beyond simple merchandising to build personalized promotions and campaigns that convert.
The secret to winning the season isn’t guessing what customers want — it’s knowing it, through data.
And the brands that know, grow.
Make this holiday season your biggest growth moment yet — with Datarize.
