CPO (Cost per Order)

What does CPO (cost per order) mean?

Ceast phe Order (CPO), sometimes also Ceast phe Acquisition (CPA), refers to the amount spent on advertising or marketing to generate a conversion or make a sale. Cost per order is an important part of any web-based business, especially those that are just waiting or have a very strict budget.

Cost per order is calculated by dividing marketing spend by the number of orders (that the company prepares). They can also be used to evaluate the effectiveness of a particular type of marketing.

What is the CPO used for?

If your CPO is low and your closing rate is high, you are reaching the right people! Users want your product and you are generating active sales. A low CPO indicates that marketing is generating the right kind of leads at the right cost and that salespeople are efficiently converting the leads generated.

This performance indicator (KPI), evaluated in conjunction with your closing rate, allows you to look at your sales process as a whole picture and identify grievances.

CPO is also used in decision-making. It can impact many different areas of a business, from employee benefits to product costs. Some of the decisions that can be made based on cost-per-order numbers include:

• How much should be paid to employees who assemble or prepare products for shipment
• What types of equipment/machinery should be used or purchased for product production
• What shipping method can be used so that customers receive orders in a timely manner
• The price charged for a product.
• The type and amount of marketing that is used or can be used.

While cost per order (CPO) is an important factor for many companies operating on the Internet, there are also experts who advise that CPO should always be viewed with a degree of caution. The figures can be misleading because they do not take into account factors such as the consumer's decision-making time.
