Best of the Best Benchmark (Europe)
Without context, marketers are left wondering if their results are any good. The Best of the Best Benchmark
report presents the average and top performing benchmarks across five industries and 6 geographies. Best of
the Best refers to the companies using the Adobe marketing cloud who achieve results in the top 20% (top
quintile) when compared against others in their industry. Adobe Marketing Cloud customers are already
ahead of the masses through their investment in excellence so overall averages are already better than non-
cloud users, hence, Best of the Best. See how your online presence measures up.

Share of smartphone visits
Smartphone visits surged in 2014 across all
countries.
Best-of-the-best pulling away
For the second year in a row the gap between top performers
and average has grown wider. UK, in particular has had the
largest shift to mobile with the top sites already seeing more
than 50% of the traffic coming from smartphones.
Optimizing for mobile is critical. Mobile visitors…
• Search more than other visitors
• Are more likely to open email links
• Do more down-time browsing

Share of tablet visits
Tablet visits also grew in 2014 but are starting to
slow in some markets.
Tablet visits more important in Europe
All countries in Europe are seeing greater share of tablet visits
than US sites overall. As with smartphones, tablet visit share is
widening between the best-of-the-best and the masses.
Tablet visitors tend to
• Purchase larger baskets in travel and online retail
• Consume more digital video
• Browse in more “fixed” mobile locations where WiFi is
available

Stickiness
Stickiness is a key measurement of acquisition
and landing page performance and overall, the
countries in Europe are performing better than
the US.
Mixed bag versus last year
UK, Germany and Benelux have improved average stickiness
rates versus 2013 but France and Nordics have seen stickiness
rates fall. Top performers are widening the gap in this metric as
well and in every country.
Increase Stickiness
• Through improved mobile browsing experiences
• With better audience targeting
• By optimizing programmatic advertising buying

Click-through-rate
Click-through-rate is an indicator of acquisition
optimization
Programmatic buying improves results across the board
Every industry saw improvement in click-through rate last year as
the gap between the best and the masses grew wider. Media &
Entertainment, in particular, had the widest gap with the best
receiving double the click-through-rate of the masses.
Improve CTR
• Increase visits
• Reduce acquisition expense
• Improve site performance and conversion

Visit rate (visits per visitor per month)
Higher visit rates reduce acquisition expense and improve
ROI.
Visit Rates Generally Improve
All countries saw increase in visit rate versus 2013 and in keeping with the
common theme, the best sites grew at an even faster pace. Performance in
UK and Nordics leads all other regions in average and top performance. US
laggs behind all but France.
Loyal visitors
• Spend more on travel and retail
• Consume more content
• Convert at a higher rate

objective

Consumption (in minutes)
Increasing time on site generally leads to greater
ROI but could also indicate confusing or difficult
navigation.
Most countries experiencing similar trends
Marketers looking to increase time spent engagement should
look to Germany’s best for examples on how to build up the
minutes. UK sites are receiving the shortest visits amongst all
countries measured.
Longer visits
• Lead to increased opportunities for advertising revenue
• Should be tracked carefully and matched against drop-off
rates to identify confusing or difficult navigation

Consumption
• The best in Telecom and

the pack with an average
of over 10 minutes per

• All industries in Europe
are doing a better job of

with Retail standing out
as an industry to emulate

in larger baskets and
increased conversion
rates.

Conversion
For most sites, conversion events tie directly to
revenue but are traditionally very low.
A tough year for conversion
Likely as a result of massive increases in smartphone traffic,
conversion rates are down versus 2013 in every country. Only
Germany, France and Nordics have seen the gap between the
best and the masses grow. Still, best performers can achieve
nearly double the conversion rate of the masses.
Getting to conversion
• Requires vastly streamlined experiences for mobile visitors
• Improved acquisition and engagement
• More emphasis on loyal and return visitors

• European retail sites are
