You wake up wondering how your ecommerce business is performing, and now you can ask Alexa.
“Alexa, ask Online Store for my briefing.”
Sip your coffee while Alexa recites your online sales for the prior day and month-to-date, and plan your day as she tells you how many new orders were placed and how many unshipped orders are pending.
“Alexa, ask Online Store for complete briefing.”
She’ll instantly tell you how much you sold yesterday and month-to-date, and how that compares with last month and last year. She knows how many sales were made yesterday and whether they have shipped yet. She can even tell you how many visitors went to your website, and how this compares to your busiest day.
“Alexa, ask Online Store for website traffic.”
Keep asking Alexa questions, and she’ll tell you how long website visitors stay on your site—she can even tell you if they’re male or female, and their age bracket.
“Alexa, ask Online Store for profit margin.”
Did you wake up with more money in your pocket? Alexa will tell you how many sales you made with each vendor, and your gross profit.
“Alexa, ask Online Store for sales trends.”
Compare yesterday’s sales to the sale time last month in dollars and percentages. Alexa even knows your year-to-date totals and how this compares to last year.
“Alexa, ask Online Store for order status.”
Your Online Store Tips will tell you how many orders were placed yesterday, and how many were shipped. You’ll know how many orders are pending and unshipped before you tie your tie (but nobody wears ties anymore, right?).
