Thoughts to Consider… Consumers want to research and execute purchases on the web,

and the trend is accelerating with younger generations– In order to gain mindshare and market share, you need to know more about customers

– With more consumers and retailers interacting via the web, “identity fatigue” is becoming an issue: “if its too much effort I’ll just buy it from Amazon”

– How do you get more visitors to register on your website, remain engaged, and login early during each return visit? How do you ensure that user profile data is complete and up-to-date?

Social Commerce is a reality. What friends recommend is becoming more important than banner ads, search results, or even customer ratings and independent reviews– How can you leverage the personal networks of your customers?

– How do you turn customers into advocates on the internet beyond your website?

– How can you bring friends and colleagues of your customers to your website?

Social Marketing

The trust factor of friends’ suggestions can make a big difference. Loopt’s users are 20X more likely to click on a place their friends had liked or visited than a place that simply ranked higher in search results.

“Improving search has always been about improving relevance,” Augie Ray of Forrester said. “But the thinking now is that getting information from your immediate social network is what will really make results more relevant.”

“People are likely to find what your friends are saying about the iPhone 4 or a Chinese restaurant more helpful in a Web search,” said Matt Cutts, a software engineer who oversees search quality at Google.
