Australian retailers are not fully leveraging e-commerce, and with Google Checkout about to launch, they’d better wisen up…
By Sandra Hanchard, analyst, Hitwise Asia Pacific
The challenges faced by traditional retailers in leveraging the online channel, such as payment security, distribution or the prevalent franchise model in Australia, are outweighed by the considerable benefits in meeting consumer retail needs on the internet. A survey of the online shopping landscape using Hitwise Australia data indicates that consumers are actively researching brands and products across thousands of websites on a daily basis as they make their purchasing decisions.
There is general consensus however that manufacturers and retailers in Australia are not meeting online consumer demand to its full potential. The PricewaterhouseCoopers Retail & Consumer Outlook Australia 2007 Report states that, “major retailers in the UK and US are investing heavily in the internet as part of their multi-channel strategies,†but continues, “yet in Australia, few retailers appear ready to take advantage of the trendsâ€.

This is an extract from an article by Dean Wiltse* (see credits at end)
Imagine you are walking through a grocery store and have just crossed off the final ingredient from your shopping list.
Suddenly, you desert your filled-to-the-brim shopping cart and quickly exit the store. Hard to imagine? That’s probably because you’ve never done this before.
Now think about this same scenario but in a different environment -an e-commerce Web site. Make more sense? Probably -if you’re among the many shoppers who have abandoned their e-carts online.
The explosion of online purchasing has given rise to an ultra-competitive environment for retailers and, as more and more consumers shop via the Web, shopping cart abandonment has become a significant problem for retailers. Abandonment can be attributed to a broad range of factors -the most common being high shipping costs, comparison shopping and frustration with the complexity of the checkout process.
If retailers are to increase online sales and revenue, they need strategies not only to drive customers to their Web sites, but solutions that facilitate the completion of customers’ online transactions.
If they are serious about driving volume online, they need to understand why their customers are leaving and course correct as needed. The best way to get to the root of the shopping cart abandonment problem is to obtain customer feedback in a way that doesn’t disrupt the online shopping experience.

She’s very happy with the way her website looks. And her friends are impressed with her website.
Only One Problem
The website has generated no business.
That’s why she asked us for a free website appraisal - the only problem was that she wasn’t ready to hear what we had to say. “I don’t like your sh*tty website”, she told us! “I like my website”
That’s fine, but how much business has your nice looking website generated? The “sh*itty” website that you refer to generated over $150,000 in the first twelve months, without any paid advertising!
We suggested she go and find a website designer / developer to help her with her “nice looking website”
Three months later she comes back to us:
I would really like you to help with our internet business development and marketing - on your terms - ie re-vamp existing website, build new one etc etc
Hope you accept this tail-between-the-legs request for your help??

We built a website for a client at the end of January - This graph shows how site traffic volume has increased each month.
Many clients sit back waiting for the phone to ring once they’ve got a website. Ask yourself this question: What is your website asking visitors to do? Is there a call to action?
If you do not ask your visitors to do anything, and the phone doesn’t ring, then you’ve got exactly the result that you asked for! On the other hand, if there is some “Call to Action” and your phone doesn’t ring, then there could be a number of reasons.
When I meet new clients I ask them how many people they’ve given out their phone number to. It may be hundreds, it may only be a handful. The point is, that you can have the best website in the world, but if nobody knows about it, then what’s the point?
You could have an increase in website traffic as shown in the graph, but if you are still not getting an increase in sales, then again, what’s the point?
If your website is not getting the results that you want, then contact us and we’ll find some solutions

These days it doesn’t cost much to build a quick small business website.
There’s plenty of free templates available on the interent, and buying a domain name now only costs a few dollars
Our client wanted an inexpensive website to get him started. So after registering a domain name, organising web hosting, he’s up and running.
Better than a website, you can get yourself a content management website, so you can add stuff, edit stuff, and change stuff whenever you like, and not have to wait for your web designer to do it when they have some spare time.
The next step is to build a Squidoo Lens about your small business. You can list your products and services, and hours of operation.
The challenge that most small businesses have is finding time to update their blog. We offer a service to overcome that problem contact us for more information

So you’ve spent thousands of dollars and endless hours working with your website developer - It looks fantastic, it’s got all the latest “bells and whistles”, but here’s the question: How Effective Is Your Website?
When we ask that of potential clients, they look as though we’ve asked them a personal question. No, a real personal question!
These days it seems many business owners are rushing out to get a website, just as everyone is rushing out to get themselves an MP3 player. “What do you need an MP3 player for?”
- Well, everyone else has got one!
-Yes, but what do you do with it?
-It looks great, and it fits in my pocket, here, look!
- Yes, but what’s it for?
- I got a great deal on it, and you can choose what ever colour
-Yes, but what’s it for?
- No idea, but they are all the rage!!
Is it any different for some people that have a website?
We put together a checklist for our clients to work through in order to ascertain their exact requirements for a website. If you don’t know why or what you want yur webiste to do, how do you know if you’ve achieved the result you were hoping for?
