Definition: the average number of purchases per customer within a specified segment.
What's Average Order Count and Why It Matters
Average Order Count is defined as the average number of purchases per customer within a specified segment. Average Order Count not only measures the loyalty and engagement levels of customers but also serves as an indicator of the effectiveness of your marketing and retention strategies. In the context of RFM analysis, Frequency—reflected by Order Count—helps in identifying your most loyal customers, offering insights into the health of your customer relationships and the potential for long-term business growth.
Increasing the Average Order Count within your focused customer segments implies that your strategies are successful in encouraging repeat purchases, thereby increasing the overall Lifetime Value of your customers. This metric, therefore, plays a pivotal role in both strategic decision-making and operational marketing efforts.
Tracking Average Order Count Over Time
Tracking the improvement in Average Order Count for your key customer segments is vital. Whether managing segments based on specific product lines, initial acquisition channels, or other criteria, monitoring changes in purchase frequency can reveal the impact of your retention marketing efforts.

This limitation extends to Shopify's native admin interface, underscoring the need for a more capable solution. ECPower addresses this gap by enabling the automatic tracking of the Average Order Count for customer segments post-creation.
