Hopefully by now you've listed out customer behaviors you want to encourage and discourage.
If not, it's best to do that now before reading on.

Chances are you've identified a few of the main behaviors like purchases, social sharing, leaving a review, etc.
Now it's time to go deeper and find even more behaviors that you might have missed. Use these questions as guides to think about other areas of your store.
- How and where could your customer first hear about your store?
- When they first visit, what's the very first thing they see? What's the first product they notice? What's the first benefit they notice? What's the first offer they notice?
- While browsing your store for the first time, what are they feeling? What are they thinking? Are they focused and rushed or meandering and browsing?
- They decide to place their first order. What product(s) do they buy? Are they making a careful test purchase to see how you fulfill their expectations or are they going all-out and buying everything they want in the first go?
- What are they getting from you post-purchase? Order and shipment confirmations? A custom email? A phone call?
- What experiences will they have once they unbox the product?
- What happens 7 days after the order? 14 days? 30 days? 60 days? 90 days?
- What makes them come back to your store for their second order? What about the third order?
Take your time with these and create a big list of behaviors. The more you can identify the more you consider optimizing for.
