    Hi everybody,
    I just got a 'Shopowner Tip of the Week' email, first one I've seen.
    It suggests:
    "Use Google Analytics tracking to your Shapeways Shop to get more insight into your shop data."
    Well, I've been doing that for my shapeways marketplace shop.
    I added a separate 'property' with Google and got another tag for my shopify shop, so I can track them separately.

    The results are, last 7 days, ending 20181025 :

    shapeways marketplace shop ( https://www.shapeways.com/shops/jewelrylk-com ):
    Users Sessions Bounce Rate Session Duration
    7 7 57.14% 1m 42s

    shopify shop ( https://jewelrylk.com ):
    Users Sessions Bounce Rate Session Duration
    34 40 65% 1m 45s

    To be clear, I have yet to sell anything through either shop.
    But I was wondering what everyone else was seeing.

    Please share your experience, also any constructive critique of my shop is welcome.
    It would be nice to sell something...

    Best Wishes,
    Lawrence

    I've been using Google Analytics for 2 1/2 years on my shop.. its been VERY helpful.. especially the real-time viewer. I sell between 700 and 1200 parts per month. Those spikes on the far right side start about 1 November, when I announced I'll be closing down the Shapeways storefront as we know it due to the new price increases on small parts and minimum pricing structure. I get an average of about 90 customers viewing the store each day.
