“Similarweb enables us to uncover our competitors’ online strategy, benchmark ourselves, and grow our digital market share. From unparalleled Amazon on-site search data to accurate conversion metrics, Similarweb’s new insights into consumer intent take us way beyond our current bandwidth and scope,” said Nicolette Harper, Worldwide Director of Retail Marketing at Microsoft. “These insights are a crucial part in enhancing both our retailer strategy and our brand strategy.

To showcase the new product’s capabilities, Similarweb analyzed the overall performance and marketing channel effectiveness for men and women’s apparel on Amazon during the 2016 holiday season. For the first time, the market has visibility of consumer behavior down to a brand and product category level. Similarweb Digital Insights revealed that buyers not only shop more for men’s jeans on Amazon – with 75% more product views, but that men’s jeans also convert at a significantly higher rate than women’s on the site. Additionally, Similarweb revealed that during the holiday season, the conversion rate from referral traffic to women’s jeans doubled from 8% to 16%, quantifying the effectiveness of affiliate marketing. With these new insights, brands and retailers can make data-driven decisions about product strategy, marketing spend, and brand messaging.
