Hi
One of the most common questions I am getting asked by new business startup customers is:
Is there any benchmark data that we can compare our performance to with regards to;
starting a new online retail business under 12 months old.
How much was spent on marketing.
Average number of visitors per month.
Average conversion rates, visitors to enquiries, visitors to sales.
Rate of sign up for email.
Percentage of repeat orders.
Percentage of new orders.
etc
I know there are general stats for this stuff available, but I am looking for specifics for comparison especially in the filed of new businesses under 12 months old.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks - John

Appreciate it.
Its conversion rates I'm interested in. I have seen some data at http://www.conversionchronicles.com/What_is_an_average_conversion_rate.html but I guess you've already seen this.
Yours,
Jim.
