Innovative E-Commerce

The online shopper is spending more on the Web, and is relying on the Web to buy big-ticket items such as electronics and cars, and even luxury goods such as designer apparel and jewelry. To drive these purchases, e-commerce sites must be flexible, user-friendly and provide a unique experience that attracts customers and creates customer loyalty.

E-commerce sites that offer product reviews and comparisons, blogs, and social networking are highly effective in driving the online sale. Enhanced search, personalization, and interactivity are other features that help online retailers drive customer purchasing decisions.

Web retailers also must pay close attention to conversion rates, shopping cart size, brand equity, repeat visits, and profitability of their e-commerce channel.

E-commerce sales are up in the United States, according to eMarketer, which estimates that e-commerce sales will reach $146 billion in 2008, a 14.3 percent increase from 2007.
