📕 GLOSSARY
NAVIGATION
- bps: absolute change in percentage, contribution to total/change. 100 bps = 1 percentage point.
- PoP: period over period. Relative difference of measure between two consecutive periods. If you select a Monthly view, it means Month over Month (MoM), and if you select a Weekly view, it means Week over Week (WoW). PoP can be expressed in absolute value (PoP Abs) or percentage (PoP %).
- If PoP Abs is blank or 0, it means that there was no change between the two compared periods.
- If PoP % is blank, it means that we do not have a value for the previous. If PoP % is 0, it means that there was no change between the two compared periods.
- YoY: relative difference of measure in selected period vs last year’s same period. Example: January 2024 vs January 2023
- SB: Sponsored Brand (Ads)
- SD: Sponsored Display (Ads)
- SP: Sponsored Product (Ads)
METRICS
Traffic
- Glance Views: Glance views (GVs) measure customer traffic and are defined by the number of views to the product detail page.
- GVs are calculated at the ASIN-level, and only when Retail is the featured seller
- It is possible to have Ordered Units with no Glance Views in some scenarios (automatic repurchasing, one-click purchase…)
- It is possible to see Glance Views = 0 or Glance Views = null
- Glance Views = 0 means that there has been a sales-related event on the same period
- Glance Views = null means that there hasn’t been any sales-related event on the same period
- Conversion: Percentage of visitors to a product detail page (Glance Views) who end up purchasing the product (calculated with Shipped Units)
Sales
- Shipped Revenue: Revenue generated by a customer order at the time of shipment
