Business Strategies · Key performance indicators (KPIs)
A Digital Native Vertical Brand (DNVB) selling sustainable footwear has experienced rapid growth through viral social media campaigns. However, recent data shows a high bounce rate on mobile devices and a drop in repeat customer purchases.
The executive team wants to establish new Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) that specifically address these issues and improve overall customer satisfaction. They have tasked you with selecting the most actionable metrics to track over the next quarter.
Based on the analysis of these specific user trends, which set of KPIs should be established to directly address the identified issues?

Correct answer: A
The scenario specifically identifies two problems: high bounce rate on mobile devices and a drop in repeat purchases. Mobile Page Load Time and Mobile Checkout Abandonment Rate directly measure the mobile friction causing bounces, while Customer Retention Rate measures the success of repeat purchasing efforts. Establishing these specific KPIs ensures the team focuses on resolving the exact pain points identified in the user trends.

Correct answer: A
A Digital Native Vertical Brand (DNVB) is characterized by being born on the internet (digital native) and controlling its own end-to-end customer experience (vertical).

Business Strategies · Subscription services strategy
True or False: To successfully implement a subscription services strategy (such as monthly deliveries), an ecommerce site must store customers' raw credit card numbers in its local database to process recurring payments.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
False. Storing raw credit card numbers locally violates PCI DSS compliance and poses a massive security risk. Instead, subscription services use tokenization, where the payment gateway securely stores the card data and returns a secure token to the merchant. The merchant uses this token to trigger recurring billing.
