TeachersPayTeachers Conversion Rate Explanation and Case Study: Part 1

Conversion rate

Have you ever wondered what the conversion rate is on your TPT product statistics page? Or have you wondered what to do with that little number? For me, yes and yes.  Well, I don’t know yet what to do with it but I’m going on a journey to find out. 

The conversion rate is the number of people who buy your product divided by the number of people who view your product. In other words, after people take a look at it, how many actually buy it? 

Why is this useful? Imagine if you went to buy a new phone and the newest released version with all the bells and whistles was $200. After you investigate to make sure this is the real deal, you are convinced this is a genuine great deal. My guess is you would buy it then and there and so would 100% of everyone who sees that deal will also buy it. That product conversion rate is 100% and clearly the price is way too low. If the phone manufacturer increases the price to $800 they will still get lots of people to buy it because that’s the going rate for a brand new latest release phone. Their conversion rate will go way down but they will probably make more money in the end. (And isn't that what it's all about! 😆)

So conversion rates can tell you whether to increase or decrease the price of an item.

Playing with price to maximize profit

This video explains conversion rates and also takes a look at one particular product to see how changing the price of the product will change the conversion rate. I'll check back in later and make another video showing whether this worked or not.

TL;DR

Understanding conversion rates can help you make more money in your TPT store. If the conversion rate is high, increase the price of your product. If the conversion rate is low, decrease the price of your product.

Teaching Counting to Non-verbal Students

For our students that are non-verbal, it seems like you hit a wall in math because they cannot count out loud. However, ALL students can learn to count regardless of whether they are able to do so out loud. They can use their "inner voice" to count.  I have been developing some Boom cards and a TPT resource for these kids.  TPT Resource Here is a sample video of this product in use:  Boom Cards The Boom cards come in decks of 1-5 and 1-10 and there are 3 levels of each.  Level 1: This deck does not let the student put a counter in the wrong place. The highlight on the drop zone is a cue to students as to where to put the counters. Level 2: This deck allows the student to put counters anywhere on the 5 spaces. However, only the correct number of counters is provided. Level 3: This deck allows the student to put any number of counters anywhere on the 5 spaces. There are 5 counters available so they must pick the right number of counters based on the number shown at ...

Two Skills Your Students Need Even Before Counting - Early Numeracy

Early numeracy skills are the foundation for math success in school and beyond. These skills include counting, number recognition, comparing and manipulating quantities, and understanding patterns. But did you know that counting and number recognition are not the first math skills that students need to learn? Matching and imitating are important prerequisites to counting and number recognition. They are essential early numeracy skills. Matching Matching is a prerequisite for counting. When children are able to match two sets of objects, they are learning that each set has a corresponding number. This is an important step in understanding the concept of counting and latter skills like addition. Imitation Being able to copy models with blocks helps build a foundation for math skills. When children are able to copy a model, they are learning about spatial relationships and how to manipulate objects in space. This is an important skill for understanding concepts such as geometry and m...
