“The Marketplace Performance Score provides a powerful way for leaders to simply and transparently assess how their ecommerce strategies are performing relative to their competition and where they can optimize to maximize their brand’s ecommerce revenue potential.”
Developed by Pattern’s data scientists, MPS holistically measures the ecommerce performance of a brand’s top products across three key drivers and 16 dimensions that impact a brand’s ecommerce revenue growth. The result is a score from 1-10 that helps brands in an ever-increasing array of industries — including tools, direct selling, and pet products — measure their performance relative to their competitors.
