Research Scope and
Summary
1!
Research Scope and Summary
•  YouEye conducted a study across 3,000
participants and a dozen eCommerce
environments to identify pa erns in
user behavior measured against the
typical key performance indicators.
•  In addition, 400 in depth interviews
were conducted.
•  This research was conducted in home,
driven by the participants on their
natural schedules, environments, and
devices.
•  Because this study was conducted
independently and for research
purposes, the names of some companies
and participants have been removed to
protect anonymity.

Doing it right:
Section Two!
Customers love customer service!
Section Two!
Take every chance to instill confidence in the customer
Section Two!
Confirm and Reconfirm
Section Two!
Don’t make the customer travel backwards
Section Two!
I only create an account if it’s
a store I know I’ll shop at
again. If it’s my first time
visiting, I check out as a
guest. — Participant!
I didn’t have an account, and
the sign in bu on took me to
the account setup thing. I felt
like I was moving backwards
and ended up not buying. —
Participant!
Section Two!
In Stock? If not, don’t show or say when is it expected.
The Poorly Placed Discount
Section Two!
I was absolutely ready to buy
until I saw the discount code
option. I actually stopped
shopping, looked around for a
discount code, and when I
couldn’t find one, decided to
wait for a sale. — Participant!
I hate when I see the spot
for offer codes and I don’t
have one. I feel like I’m being
cheated or missing out on
something and I won’t
complete the purchase. —
Participant!
The Poorly Placed Discount
•  57% of participants who encountered a discount code field were less
likely to complete their purchase if they did not have a code.
•  73% of those participants le the site to search for discount codes
•  50% of those participants came back to complete their purchase
•  Of the 27% who stayed, 95% expressed a lower perception of value
and lower likelihood to make a repeat order
•  Discount codes convert well if the customer has the code prior to
entering the shopping process
•  16% of participants expressed frustration at not having a code when
given the option at during the shopping process
•  Suggestion: discount code interactions have positive impact at the
beginning of the customer journey, not then the end.
Section Two!
Protect the Check-Out Process
Customers exhibited two distinct behavior pa erns when shopping vs. checking out!
Section Two!
Product Pricing"
52%were comfortable with the
price range of products they were
researching "
78%were comfortable with the
product prices when entering the checkout
process"
Payment Security 21%entered an eCommerce website
expressing a moderate level of concern
regarding payment security"
68%expressed a moderate-to-high
level of concern when prompted to enter
payment information"
Shipping 94%expressed an increased
likelihood to shop when made aware that
free shipping was available"
41%who were not made aware of
shipping costs during shopping abandoned
the checkout process when first seeing the
cost"
Competition"
42%abandoned the shopping
process to comparison shop or had
multiple sites open simultaneously"
26%abandoned the checkout
process to comparison shop"
Shopping! Checkout!
Key Takeaways
Section Two!
Protect the
checkout process"
Don’t prompt your customers to
reconsidertheir order
when the credit card is in hand"
Minimize the opportunities your customer
has to say no: every step in the checkout
process is another chance for
abandonment"
Timing is
Everything
WHEN you emphasize each
facet of your value proposition is just as
important as WHERE"
Emphasize free shipping at the start of the
customer journey, and emphasize security
at the end during checkout"
Less is More
Simple navigation and
accurate search were vital in customer
engagement; don’t display out of stock
items – it annoys your customers"
User experience should guide
your customers down the conversion
funnel, not present an a la cart menu of
decisions to make"
Shopping! Checkout!

When CTR’s A ack
Invasive Campaigns Produce High
Click-Throughs, but Hurt NPS!
Section Two!
Click-throughs via Invasive Ads and Opt-Ins
Understand how your data interacts –
Chasing numbers at the start of the funnel
can lead to poor performance at the end.!
Size Ma ers
These ads produce significantly higher CTR’s, but is that always a good thing?!
Section Two!
These kind of ads drive me nuts. They’re so
obnoxious and get in the way of me using
the site; they’re the equivalent of the sleazy
sales guy at the store. — Participant!
Content Ma ers, but So Does Timing
Less disruptive, but room for improvement!
Section Two!
I wish these ads wouldn’t pop up
immediately. When I’m visiting a new site, I
want to look around and see if I’m
interested first — Participant!
I like the offers, but I get annoyed when
this is the first interaction I have on a
website. — Participant!
Convenience Ma ers
Simple but effective for building your house list!
Section Two!
I really like being able to sign in with one
click and I like having the option to avoid
more junk mail. — Participant!
This thing didn’t popup until I was
browsing around for awhile. I felt much
more comfortable giving them my info once
I had had a chance to look around. —
Participant!
Key Takeaways
Section Two!
Leverage
Social in
Signups!"
48% of participants liked
having the option to sign in with their
social media accounts"
Of the participants who did not want
to submit their email, 21%
expressed a greater willingness to sign
in with social; there was also no
significant variance in response
between age groups 36-45 and 46-55"
Make
Retargeting
Easier
74% of participants willing to
sign on with Facebook said they were
more likely to click on an ad from the
retailer when retargeted"
Social sign on is essential in a mobile
environment"
"
Ad Sizes"
90% of participants were
frustrated or annoyed by ads or opt-
in windows 400x400 px. or larger"
Only 17%were frustrated or
annoyed by ads or opt-in windows
336x280 or smaller"
Content
Ma ers,
Even In a
Window
27% of participants said
having a discount offer for their
initial purchase motivated them to
submit their email in an opt-in
window"
67% of participants reported
that seeing a “100% satisfaction
guarantee” in the pop-up window
made them more likely to convert
(either to an ad or to opt-in)"
Key Takeaways
Section Two!
Invasive Ads:
Higher Click-
Throughs,
Lower NPS"
There was almost 0%improvement in conversion rates for large invasive ads"
However, 70%of customers who interacted with invasive advertising reported a decreased
likelihood of shopping with the retailer and an average 1pt decrease in their net promoter score! An
additional 12% expressed negative sentiment but did not specifically state that they would be less
likely to shop."
Misleading
Data
22% of invasive ad click throughs were reported as mistakes by the participants"
Understanding why your customers are behaving as they are is just as important as understanding
the raw numbers that big data provides"
The Best
Solution
Responsive design that is triggered by customer interaction with the site.
Responsive ads and opt-ins are viewed 65% more positively."
Your customers want to feel as if they’re driving their experience with the site. Elements that remove
the perception of control from the customer are received very negatively."
What’s in a
Review?
What Customers Look for When
Looking to Each Other!
Section Two!
What’s in a Review?
The right reviews can move the dial,
reducing abandonment and driving
conversions!
The Power of the Review
Let’s take a look at how good reviews are structured:
Section Two!
I’m more skeptical of reviews that claim
the product is perfect. I’m shopping for
value and like when the reviews are more
realistic. — Participant!
A strong four star review is more powerful than a weak five star review
•  Emphasize value
•  Confront weaknesses
•  Address specific use cases
•  Offer comparisons to competing products
The Power of the Review
Let’s take a look at reviews that disengage customers from the shopping process:
Section Two!
I get worried when I see reviews about
products breaking. I start imagining what I
would do in that situation and feel
stressed. — Participant!
38% of participants placed a significantly higher value on articulate negative reviews
than vague positive reviews, regardless of average review score.
The most harmful reviews:
•  Specifically de-emphasize value
•  Criticize product durability
•  Outline customer service issues
•  Offer comparisons to competing products
The Power of the Review
If you can, leverage social, photos and multimedia from customers!
Section Two!
Key Takeaways
Section Two!
First,
Display
Reviews!"
25%of retailers studied didn’t allow customers to review, and 33% of retailers that allowed reviews had fewer than 5
per item – there’s a huge opportunities to encourage customer feedback."
Customers were 2xmore likely to complete a purchase if products were positively reviewed vs. not reviewed at all."
Highlight
Strong
Positive
Reviews
Only half the retailers studied ranked their reviews based on usefulness. Many prioritized reviews marked “useful” but
didn’t deprioritize reviews marked “not useful”. Many also failed to give customers the ability to rate reviews."
62%of people who were “on the fence” expressed a greater comfort in purchasing a er reading strong positive
reviews."
Respond to
Negative
Reviews
Even if a customer’s negative review cannot be resolved, companies that responded to negative reviews generated
significantly stronger positive sentiment from their customers."
63%of participants who encountered a strong negative review were more likely to ignore the review if it received a
sympathetic response from customer service; they were more likely to complete their purchase."
Ask
Guiding
Questions
to
Reviewers"
Almost 90% of the eCommerce sites we encountered that did allow customers to leave reviews simply provided them a
textbox prompted with sentences like: “Leave a review.”"
89%of participants noted the higher quality of reviews on sites that asked guiding questions to reviews like: “How do
o en do you use this product?” or “Would you buy this product again?”""
