270 How to Calculate Your Order Minimum for Your Online Farm Store


Listen Later

Last week, I shared 3 ways to increase the average amount a customer spends in a transaction with you.  One of those suggestions was to create an "order minimum." 

But how do you decide what that order minimum should be?

Well... you look at the numbers. Which numbers? That's what this episode is all about. I share 5 key metrics you should review to help you figure out your order minimum, AND I share the formula to plug those numbers into.

Your homework this week is simple: calculate what your order minimum should be, and then go set it up! Test it out for 2 weeks and see what happens.
