Data-Driven Approach to User Expansion
WeGoBuy, a leading proxy shopping service, has implemented an innovative growth strategy using spreadsheets to analyze user behavior and optimize its customer acquisition channels. By systematically tracking key metrics across various touchpoints, the company has been able to make data-informed decisions to accelerate its user base expansion.
Comprehensive Data Integration
The platform collects three primary categories of user data in spreadsheets:
- Registration Data: Detailed information including signup timestamps, acquisition channels (direct traffic, social media, search engines), and geographical sources
- First-Purchase Behavior: Critical metrics such as time-to-first-order, initial product choices, and spending amounts by new users
- Referral Metrics: Data tracking user-to-user invitations and the performance of referral programs
