Changes in the market have driven many sitesout of business, and many others

23、 are only barely surviving. The holidays, promising greatly increased sales, offer hopefor many e-commerce sites. The good news for retailers is that the holiday market will grow; this years holiday salesare predicted to be 66%higher than last years.In a year when over half the U.S. population has a

24、ccess to the Internet, e-commerce sites can expect dramaticincreases in site traffic before the holidays. Forrester Research predicts $10 billion in holiday revenues, and Jupiterforecasts the U.S. holiday market as $12 billion. Gartner Group predicts $10.7 billion in North American holiday salesand

25、worldwide sales of $19.5 billion.While revenue estimates vary, its clear that Holiday 2000 will be big for e-commerce. Customers will shop online thisholiday season for convenience; by shopping online, customers avoid crowds,transportation hassles, and inconvenient store hours. One customer commente

26、d in our tests that she would shoponline “ to avoid the hassle of going to different stores.”Despite the eager shoppers and the predictions of a big holiday season, there is bad news for online retailers: thee-commerce industry is losing billions of dollars in potential sales.Shoppers want to purcha

27、se online, but many sites make it too hard to buy.To gain the most from the holiday season, sites must pursue a simple strategy: improve the customer experience.Improving the customer experience can yield an additional $8 billion in North American sales, and $14 billion inworldwide online sales this

28、 holiday season.According to Gartner Group projections, worldwide online revenues for the holiday season willbe $19.5 billion.In our consumer tests of major sites across key holiday categories, we found that 43% of buying attempts failed. Thesefindings suggest that the $19.5 billion represent only 5

29、7% of potential sales this holiday season.Lost sales due to poor customer experience thus total more than $14 billion: $34.2 billion-$19.5 billion=$14.7 billion.It is worth noting that our $14 billion does not include future losses due to poor experiencethis holiday season. Millions of consumers wil

30、l shop online for the first time this holiday season. If they have a goodexperience, they are likely to continue shopping on their favorite sites in the future. If they have a bad experience, theywill likely never return to the sites where they were unable to buy(if indeed they return to shop online

31、 at all).The actuallosses due to poor customer experience may thus be significantly higher than our $14 billion estimate.In our tests, problems with the checkout process were the greatest cause of failed purchase attempts. More than 40%of failures were due to difficulty with checkout. Customers had

32、found a product they wanted, added it to their cart anddecided to place an order. They were ready to buy and wanted to pay. Unfortunately, the checkout process was toodifficult and madeit impossible for them to buy.There were several different types of problems that arose in the checkout process.The
