WWW Know how to design, but they don’t know what to use it for (Hint: conversion)

What if you built a Selver store the same way you build E-commerce sites?
• At first the experts would go in andfix their parts:• Fridges
• Lighting
• Cash registers
• Flooring
• Etc.
• Then the merchant would ask his kids and their friends to roll in the goods and put it where they thought it was the best!

Here’s a Swedish Experiment
41
42
Searchers are converters• We typically see that conversion rate in the segment
”Visits with search” is twice as high as visits without search
• Put search prominently
• Deliver great results
43
Menu navigation is not always the best, and should not be the only, way to find
products
That was Seach &Navigation
Now to Categorization and Naming
Inside-out categorization

Top 10 german e-commerce sites
Not a single one of the top 10 German
E-commerce sites* has Alphabetical
Categorization!
"Shopping-Portale und Online-Shops 2011: Die umsatzstärksten Online-Shops”
iBussines (ibusiness.de) in cooperation with EHI Retail Institute (ehi.org)
52
Cognitive tasks involved1. Recognizing that the list is alphabetically ordered
2. Using the correct word for the category
3. Estimating where in the list your category will appear (roughly)
4. Going to that place to look for it
Or
1. You can just look around and find it
= Satisficing

REI – tents
Customers said they:
1. Read the information on the product page
2. Based the decision on features- summary
250 vs 60 bought tent
nr 1 !
58
What do we learn from this?
Where you put things
(order)
Has a great impact on conversion
Step 3 - Add to cart

Retailing has gone from”Advertising”To”In-store marketing”
E-tailing is still stuck at ”Advertising”
People can be influenced
BUT
They’re not looking for the same things before and after they’ve added something to the cart
