Description
The average number of reviews received by each product, helping to assess the popularity, satisfaction, and overall reception of individual items.
Why it is important
Reviews per Item is crucial for assessing the popularity and satisfaction of individual products. This metric provides insights into customer opinions, helping businesses understand product reception and make informed decisions about marketing strategies, product improvements, and inventory management.

By tracking reviews per item, businesses can identify top-performing products, address potential issues, and enhance overall customer satisfaction.
Formula
Total Number of Reviews for a Product / Total Number of Unique Products
Calculation example
Let's say Product A has 10 reviews, Product B has 100 and Product C has 256

Reviews per Item = (10 + 100 + 256) / 3 = 122
