Cart abandonment dropped by 16%
Conversion rate improved by 21% in price-sensitive categories (e.g., beverages, snacks, dairy)

🔹 3. Promotion Benchmarking

Actowiz’s scraping system flagged discount triggers like “Buy 1 Get 1 Free” and “Flash Sale – 1 Hour Only.” These insights enabled the client to match or preempt promotions.
