Let’s be honest about most eCommerce experiences today, they suck. The minute we land on a page we are hit with a pop up requesting our email and then our cell phone. Sometimes we get the wheel of fortune which has no relevance at all. Even if we X out of these pop ups, we get them on the next page. Even more ignorant is when we are a registered user and we get pop ups while logging in. I understand that this is all being done so that brands can mitigate their acquisition cost and continue to message me for far less than advertising, but at what expense? There is a better way and brands need to learn this ASAP or they won’t be around long. They need to imagine that their website is a physical store and the browser entering is a real person. Treat them with respect. Learn something about them through their behavior and then treat them in a way that makes them want to do business with you. The technology exists to do this effectively without causing unnecessary friction. This podcast discusses how so if you manage eCommerce experiences for a brand, this is a must listen.
