New P1 Learning Training Courses:
RPM: Reach
Course Description:
The Retailer Profitability Model, or RPM, explains how a retailer makes profit and it's fairly simple. Retailers generate both revenue and expenses. Expenses are subtracted from revenue to get profit. Revenue is made up of traffic multiplied by transaction size, and traffic is made up of reach multiplied by frequency. In this course, we'll take a look at one part of the traffic equation, reach, how it can impact a retailer's profit, and how to help improve your retailers' reach.
Click here to log in and watch this course...
Support: For questions, support or additional information please contact our amazing support team by email at
support@p1learning.com or by phone at (888) 944-9377.
