1. EC Site Consulting: Definition and Role

EC site consulting is a service that supports data analysis, strategy formulation, and measure execution aimed at expanding sales and improving profit margins for EC businesses. It escapes the "haphazard measures" many businesses fall into, clarifying the company's position in the market using frameworks like 3C Analysis and SWOT Analysis.

Especially in the OPERATION domain, back-end efficiency improvements such as optimizing inventory turnover rates and reducing logistics costs are also included in the consultant's important score.

2. MECE Revenue Equation Decomposition

EC sales are expressed by the simple equation "Traffic × Conversion Rate (CVR) × Average Order Value." In the consulting field, these are broken down and analyzed in a MECE (Mutually Exclusive and Collectively Exhaustive) manner.

Traffic: Ads, SEO, SNS, repeat inflows
Conversion Rate (CVR): UI/UX improvement, expanding payment methods, cart abandonment countermeasures
Average Order Value: Set sales, upselling, cross-selling

Summary

EC site consulting is a powerful partner for realizing logical operations that don't rely on intuition. By visualizing the current situation with MECE analysis and setting appropriate KGI/KPIs, measure execution without hesitation becomes possible. New managers, please try starting by dissecting your company's sales equation.
