In 2012, web merchants will invest in better applications that will strengthen their core e-commerce infrastructure and integrate their e-commerce platforms more effectively with other information management systems. Online merchants will also spend more on software, systems and specialists that will help them build more robust mobile commerce and social media sites, according to the latest Internet Retailer survey.

Taming analytics

Ask any retailer, and they probably have a story to tell about managing analytics data. It’s a chore many dread, with either not enough data to do much good, or so much data that it’s impossible to decide what to do with it all. These days it’s more likely to be the latter, as retailers seek to make sense of data streaming in from multiple channels. EXPERT ADVICE
The democratization of e-commerce . . 20 While there are still definite distinctions between e-commerce capabilities and technology that a large enterprise business needs and what is practical for a small or medium-size merchant, a lot of today’s must-have functionality has become quite affordable for the smaller companies.

If there’s one thing a web retailer should know by now about their customers, it’s that they are impatient. And in recent years, as Internet connections have gotten faster, and more online activities compete for their time and attention, their expectations for a smooth and speedy experience on an e-commerce site have grown. 2 Internet Retailer

EDITOR’S LETTER
More technology buyers—and sellers
H
appy Holidays indeed. The 2011 Christmas shopping season saw stunning growth as consumers turned to the Internet for their gift-giving needs. Consumers spent more than $19.6 billion with online retailers between Nov. 1 and Dec. 4, up by 15.3% from more than $17 billion spent at the same point in 2010, says comScore Inc. More online shopping yields more spending and that means web retailers have a greater need to keep their e-commerce sites humming. And that requires more technology tools to help e-retailers meet demand. Running stride for stride with e-commerce growth, we present the expanded 2012 Complete Guide to E-Commerce Technology—a comprehensive resource that helps technology buyers of all sizes make prudent and more informed purchasing decisions. The new edition is setting some records of its own: Listings for 1,213 technology software and services providers, up by 57% from 775 in the previous edition. Mobile Commerce alone exploded from 14 vendors in the previous edition to 183 companies—a leap of 1,207%. 4,000 provider executive names, a 60% increase from 2,500 in the 2010 edition. This edition of the Complete Guide to E-Commerce Technology couldn’t have come at a better time as more retailers turn to the Internet for an increasing share of their business, and look for new, more efficient or better technology tools and services. No other segment of retailing is so completely dependent on technology to run its business, including marketing, merchandising and fulfillment. And no other segment can use technology to analyze marketing and sales results in real-time, and use those results to make virtually instant adjustments to product offerings, inventory and functionality. Nowhere else can retailers find more relevant information on the thousands of products and services available to successfully expand their e-commerce operations. Retailers of any size can find a range of providers who specialize in their specific area of need or include the technology they seek in a larger package. Many providers in the Complete Guide to E-Commerce Technology are identified as specializing in technology for small to medium-size retailers. Others are targeting the biggest e-retailers. Each listing in this, the fourth edition of our e-commerce technology guide, includes a description of the vendor’s key products, pricing information, customers and names of executives in charge of business operations, marketing and technology, date launched and full company information. Each listing also includes an objective profile of the company that serves as an overview of its products and services, written by one of our professional journalists. As in the previous editions, this resource is the result of a focused research process. The data-gathering process includes reaching out to hundreds of vendors in multiple categories to gather and verify company and product information, then assembling and editing it to its final form. Special thanks to researchers Nesli Karakus and Laura Berrigan for their handiwork in managing data on more than 1,200 providers, and to our tireless profile writers Linda Punch and Mary Colby. Thanks also to our designer and art director Jason Smith for his usual energetic efforts to make the editorial and research look good on the printed page. The all-new Complete Guide to E-Commerce Technology comes at a perfect time for retailers of all stripes as they seek to add, maintain, upgrade or replace technology components that make their web sites go. As the 2011 holiday shopping season has shown, the market is coming to them and they need to be ready to make online shopping faster and easier than ever before.

Mega tech mergers E-retailers must recalibrate their technology strategies as vendors consolidate BY ALLISON ENRIGHT
E
-retail technology executives are growing increasingly accustomed to learning that one of their technology vendors is being bought or buying another company. As e-commerce matures, many vendors that have spent years refining their specialties—such as order management, analytics and performance monitoring—are finding new homes within larger organizations that offer increasingly complete assortments of e-commerce tools. These large companies argue that they can handle the complex technical challenges of selling online so retailers can focus on retailing. That’s the promise, for example, coming out of IBM Corp., which in the last two years picked up order management vendor Sterling Commerce for $1.4 billion, web analytics firm Coremetrics for an undisclosed price, marketing technology vendor Unica for $480 million and data warehouse provider Netezza for $1.7 billion; the company says it’s earmarked another $20 billion for acquisitions globally over the next few years. Oracle Corp., which closed its $1 billion cash deal for e-commerce software vendor Art Technology Group Inc. in January 2011, makes a similar pledge to let retailers focus on what they do best. Plenty of more deals abound: eBay Inc. closed its $2.4 billion deal to buy e-commerce services vendor 6 Internet Retailer
GSI Commerce Corp., which itself had been on a buying spree, acquiring ad firm Fetchback, e-mail marketing provider e-Dialog and others; eBay also announced in July 2011 plans to acquire open-source e-commerce platform company Magento Inc. Adobe Systems Inc. strengthened its e-commerce portfolio with its $1.8 billion purchase of analytics provider Omniture. RedPrairie Corp. picked up Escalate Retail, Monsoon Commerce Inc. snagged Stone Edge Technologies, MyBuys Inc. acquired Veruta. The list goes on and activity shows no signs of slowing. There have been more than 1,200 marketing technology acquisitions since 2008, more than half occurring from February 2010 to August 2011, says investment advisory firm Petsky Prunier. The 333 transactions in the first eight months of 2011 are

nearly equal to the full-year total of 338 in 2010. The acquired companies figure prominently among the top vendors to the retailers in the Internet Retailer Top 500. What will vendor consolidation mean for Top 500 retailers and their smaller peers? Many retailers are optimistic that vendors will provide products and services that fit together more smoothly and will have more funds to invest in innovation. But some web merchants fear they’ll be too small to get much attention from tech giants. In the former group is Steven Dee, chief information officer at multi-site e-retailer Hayneedle Inc., No. 77 in the Top 500 with approximately $265 million in 2010 sales. He looks forward to working with fewer vendors, hoping that will free up resources to work on pressing consumer-facing initiatives www.internetretailer.com

MEGA TECH MERGERS like mobile commerce, and allow for more long-term technology and growth planning. Hayneedle operates 280 product-specific e-retail sites like Hammocks.com and Daybeds.com. Among the wary is Carrie Allen, director of operations at apparel, media and fitness e-retailer Gaiam Inc., No. 285 with approximately $38 million in sales last year.

While having the variety is nice, if
growth of his business. Dee says he left the meeting impressed, but made no commitments. “The major components were very well thought out, but they couldn’t really get into the weeds with me,” Dee says. “But it made it easier for me to say we should continue investigating this.” If Hayneedle were to go all in with Oracle and ATG, Dee sees the potential for cost savings because

of an IBM or Oracle will pay much attention to Gaiam. “It tends to be our experience that a very large firm doesn’t have the time for us as a midlevel retailer,” Allen says. In this case it’s the retailers who are the customers, and they’ll reward vendors that deliver as technology contracts come up for renewal over the next few years. Meanwhile, vendors say they’ll be working to show that they can provide products that fit together more easily and can introduce new technology at a faster rate—in some cases because, having been acquired, they no longer have to focus on short-term profitability in order to boost profits in advance of going public.
Large retailers Hayneedle’s Dee says he wants both ease of integration and the most compelling technology for his e-commerce sites. He says the e-retailer leans heavily toward deploying the technology it views as best serving its customers, but might favor a product that’s easier to 8 Internet Retailer
I can avoid doing that integration I’ll do that. I’d love for that to be somebody else’s problem.” Hayneedle uses Oracle software for order management and accounting. The e-retailer doesn’t use any ATG services—yet. Dee says he called his Oracle representative the day Oracle announced the ATG deal and asked what the product integration plan looked like. His representative didn’t have an answer. “We might have jumped the gun on it,” Dee says. “I don’t think they understood when we started asking questions.” Oracle began in early 2011 laying out to clients its plans for combining ATG and Oracle. Since then, Hayneedle’s existing Oracle representative and an ATG representative visited Dee at headquarters and pitched him on ATG’s services. The representatives explained in general how Oracle and ATG were mapping out their software integration plan, but didn’t dive further into the details of how they would work out system processes to support the
Complete Guide to E-Commerce Technology
Oracle and ATG would be responsible for the integration and maintenance of the sister services. That could free up funds for Hayneedle to invest in improved services. Top 100 e-retailers like Hayneedle may opt for nearly allin-one services like those marketed by Oracle and IBM because the fierce competition those big web merchants face drives them to continually innovate, says Gene Alvarez, vice president of research in the customer relationship management practice at research and consulting firm Gartner Inc. “Because of the amount of revenue tied to the top e-retailers, there is tremendous pressure for customer experience, and those e-retailers are more apt to make that move because it would free them to focus on customers,” he says. “What happens is that the list of functional requirements gets so long, they have to do 15 to 25 integrations to complete the customer experience. Now they want one vendor who can sell them a broad set of capabilities.” www.internetretailer.com
MEGA TECH MERGERS Dee says Hayneedle realized that kind of benefit when the vendor it uses to monitor its web site performance, Gomez, was acquired in 2009 by Compuware Corp., a provider of a broad range of information technology services to businesses and government. With its contract with a previous data center monitoring vendor set to expire, Hayneedle, a Gomez client since 2007, decided to extend its contract to include Compuware’s data center monitoring service. The bundled services cost a bit less, but Dee says the real win was that the Gomez interface improved with Compuware’s help, and service improved. For example, a Gomez account representative and engineer paid Dee a visit post-acquisition, which had never happened before. “They went out and started to be more proactive in their communication,” Dee says.
profitability. Now, with Compuware it has money to invest and fuel growth in a way that it hasn’t been able to before.” Similarly, a company like order management firm Sterling Commerce, now part of IBM, can innovate more quickly than it could on its own, says John Stelzer, worldwide industry executive for retail, B2B and commerce solutions for IBM Software Group, who joined IBM after 27 years as an executive at Sterling Commerce. What’s more, he says, e-retailers that engage IBM’s e-commerce services—which now include the assets of Coremetrics, Unica, Netezza and Sterling Commerce— will be able to respond more quickly to changes in consumer behavior and competitor moves because IBM will be managing the technology and investing for the future. “You will not outgrow us,” Stelzer says.
capital for growth and product development, or be acquired by larger firms in the next 12 months. At office and business supply e-retailer ReStockIt.com, No. 354 in the Top 500 with approximately $26 million in 2010 sales, CEO David Redlich says he’s excited about the future relationship his company will have with its order management vendor Stone Edge Technologies, which Monsoon Commerce acquired in early 2011. He says Stone Edge founder and president Barney Stone called him shortly after the acquisition to discuss it with him, and that kind of service is what makes him stay with the vendor. “We chose Stone Edge for a reason, and the opportunity for them to do even more is exciting, but that has to come with a checklist,” Redlich says. “They have to keep their identity and their culture. Is Barney still there? Will
‘If a company you have an existing relationship with comes to you with something that is relevant, you want to hear it.’ DAVID REDLICH, CEO, RESTOCKIT.COM
Gomez has more money now to invest in customer service because the company, which made no secret before the Compuware deal that it planned to go public, no longer has to prioritize painting an attractive profit picture for Wall Street, says Eric Schurr, who joined Gomez prior to its acquisition and is now senior vice president of marketing for Compuware Gomez. “Gomez was a lean and mean company that was headed for an IPO,” Schurr says. “It was managing every penny to optimize for growth and www.internetretailer.com
“We have the agility to respond to, keep up with and get ahead of what’s happening, and that’s limited in the vendor marketplace.”
Selection and service Nor does all the acquisition activity involve vendors to Top 100 e-retailers. Firms that sell primarily to smaller and midsized e-retailers also are consolidating, and some e-retailers say they expect to benefit from those mergers. Alvarez says he expects more smaller vendors to either go public, giving them
we have the same level of service? The answer, in this case, is yes.” Redlich says he hasn’t gotten a sales call from Monsoon Commerce, which helps retailers sell on online marketplaces, about offering those services to ReStockIt.com, but he’s anticipating one. “Most customers would be anxious for that call because everyone is looking for an advantage to grow,” he says. “If a company you have an existing relationship with comes to you with something that is relevant, you want to hear it.”

MEGA TECH MERGERS Donald Cohen, founder and managing partner of Tool King LLC, No. 337 in the Top 500 with $27.5 million in 2010 sales, says he expects ToolKing.com and other small and midsized retailers will reap benefits from eBay Inc.’s acquisition of Magento. Tool King has sold on eBay’s marketplace for at least a decade, Cohen says, and rebuilt ToolKing.com on Magento’s e-commerce platform in 2009. Cohen believes eBay’s financial backing will help Magento develop more advanced tools that might otherwise be out of its financial reach. “If done right, it will be a coup for
Adobe representative locally, but a different, non-local Adobe rep manages the Omniture account, and that representative changes frequently because of employee turnover. Since Adobe acquired Omniture after Gaiam inked its contract for Scene7, Allen hopes to use Gaiam’s position as a customer for two Adobe services as leverage to negotiate a better deal when her Scene7 contract is up for renewal in 2012. But she isn’t confident that will work because Gaiam already gets a good rate on Omniture that MarketLive negotiates on its behalf based on MarketLive’s client portfolio of more

RedPrairie did not respond to a request for comment on its support plans for Escalate Retail products. Communication with clients about mergers and technology plans is often hit or miss, Alvarez says. “Vendors’ communication to

small to medium-sized e-commerce companies that are looking for a platform,” he says. “EBay could make it more affordable because of its larger scale and bring some resources to Magento that Magento wouldn’t have on its own.” But not all e-retailers are as confident about their vendors becoming part of much bigger companies. At Gaiam, Allen says her contact with larger vendors, such as Adobe Systems and Escalate Retail, is inconsistent. Gaiam has a direct contract with Adobe to use its Scene7 imaging and design tools—Scene7 itself was a 2007 Adobe acquisition—and an indirect contract for Adobe’s Omniture analytics tools that is managed by Gaiam’s e-commerce services vendor, MarketLive Inc. She says her Scene7 account is managed by an 10 Internet Retailer
than 100 web retailers, including eight in the Top 500. Gaiam began working with Escalate Retail when the company formed in 2006 through the merger of Ecometry, which Gaiam used, and GERS Retail Systems. Gaiam uses Escalate Retail for order management and fulfillment, and Allen describes account support as mediocre, which she partly ascribes to the e-retailer using the older Ecometry version of Escalate’s software. Allen notes that Escalate did reach out by e-mail and phone to alert Gaiam to its acquisition by RedPrairie, although it wasn’t made clear if the combined companies would support the software version Gaiam uses. “Overall, our communication isn’t super strong,” Allen says. “I’m not sure that the acquisition will do us any favors.

their customers as a result of this acquisition market has been low and in some cases unclear. Either they have to get in front of their customers or their customers are going to turn to others.” Given the pace of change they face, e-retailers can ill afford any such uncertainty, Alvarez says, pointing to how quickly online social networks and mobile commerce are reshaping retailing. Web retailers must move quickly in areas like that, he says, and if that means relying on vendors that provide pre-integrated services, it makes sense to go that route. Hayneedle’s Dee concurs. “We want to focus on how we allow our customers to find the product that is right for them,” he says. “We’re not integrators. We lose some competitive advantage when we have to focus differently.” www.internetretailer.com

THE INTERNET RETAILER SURVEY: E-COMMERCE TECHNOLOGY SPENDING
Retailers will spend more to generate more from their e-commerce systems BY MARK BROHAN

nternet retailers are ratcheting up their information systems spending and expect to budget significantly more resources for e-commerce technology and services in 2012. In particular web merchants will invest in better applications that will strengthen their core e-commerce infrastructure and integrate their e-commerce platforms more effectively with other information management systems. Online merchants will also spend more on software, systems and specialists that will help them build more robust mobile commerce and social media sites, according to the latest Internet Retailer survey. The survey shows that many web merchants are in a mood to invest in more e-commerce systems and services. In 2012, 79.4% of merchants will increase their e-commerce technology spending. Among that group, 19.5% will spend at least 5% more, 53.3% between 5.1% and 15%, 7.8% from 15.1% to 20%, 5.3% from 20.1% to 25% and 14.2% from 25.1% to 50%. “Online is the channel where the growth is coming from, so that’s where more retailers are going to keep on investing the most technology dollars,” says Brian Walker, vice president and principal analyst for e-business and channel strategy at Forrester Research Inc. “Some multichannel retailers plan to close 12 Internet Retailer

The survey results, which include a response from 70 web-only merchants, 15 chain retailers, 14 catalog companies and 14 consumer brand manufacturers, reveal that a new e-commerce platform is the top spending priority for 59.8% of merchants, compared with 45.4% that are budgeting more money for mobile commerce, 41.2% for more social media, 33% for a better

Respondents could choose more than one answer. “Where retailers are going to spend the most money next year is on those tools and programs that make it easier and faster for consumers to shop, research and make a purchase from their smartphone or tablet, and share the experience with their family and friends on Facebook and elsewhere,” says Walker. “There’s a sense of urgency on the part of many retailers that mobile and social technologies are www.internetretailer.com

For 68% of merchants, attracting new customers is the main reason to increase spending on e-commerce applications and services, followed by 63.9% that see a bigger investment in technology as a way to boost conversion rates, 60.8% that want to generate more sales from repeat customers, 32% aiming to attract more traffic and sales through mobile commerce, 29.9% that want to reach more buyers through social media, and 18.6% hoping to increase ticket size. For Market America Inc., an online retailer of private label cosmetics, health and beauty aids, and related merchandise and also operator of comparison shopping engine Shop.com, spending on technology will increase between 15% and 20% in 2012, says chief technology officer Michael Brady. The online retailer’s biggest priority is migrating to a universal e-commerce platform that features more than 30 million products, faster site search, an enhanced shopping cart that lets consumers purchase merchandise from participating retailers directly on the Shop.com marketplace, and more content such as buyer guides and other tools. When work on the fully integrated platform is complete sometime in the first quarter of 2012, Market America shoppers also will be able to use their customer loyalty perks to make purchases on Shop.com, including the “Paid to Shop” program that awards customers 2% to 50% back on all purchases made on MarketAmerica.com and its sister sites, the company says.

THE INTERNET RETAILER SURVEY: E-COMMERCE TECHNOLOGY SPENDING The retailer is currently working on integrating the customer histories and profiles of more than 3.6 million shoppers from Market America and Shop.com, says Brady. Market America won’t be adding any new applications to its updated e-commerce platform—Market America acquired Shop.com for an undisclosed sum in December 2010, largely for its advanced technology. With a better e-commerce infrastructure in place, Market America’s next e-commerce spending priorities are to add on mobile commerce and expand further into social media. “When the platform is fully operational our shoppers will be able to shop both MarketAmerica.com and Shop.com with better navigation and an enhanced shopping cart, and do it how and when they want with mobile and social commerce,” says Brady. But in order to completely integrate Shop.com’s technology and roll out new mobile or social features, Market America also needs to hire more web designers, programmers and other e-commerce specialists. “We’re looking to add at least a dozen people,” says Brady.
Help wanted Hiring more e-commerce employees is a budgeting priority for other online retailers as well. The survey, which Internet Retailer conducted in October 2011 with readers of its IRNewsLink newsletter and in conjunction with marketing and survey technology provider Vovici Corp., finds that 54.6% of web merchants plan to expand their e-commerce staffs next year. Of those, 26.9% will add 1 new employee, 51.9% from 2 to 5 employees, 9.6% from 5 to 10 and 11.6% more than 10.

E-commerce executives will also be deciding how best to expand mobile commerce, fully integrate their e-commerce infrastructure and deploy a new platform. The survey finds 71.9% of merchants will invest more in mobile commerce next year, including

14.7% that will spend $100,000 or more on mobile shopping initiatives. 56.2% of merchants also expect to replace their e-commerce platform in the next 24 months, including 13.5% in the next year and 22.9% within six months. With online retail sales expected to once again grow by double digits in 2012 and more consumers permanently shifting a bigger portion of their shopping from stores and catalogs to online, web merchants will be ramping up their spending on better e-commerce systems and services for at least the foreseeable future, says Michael Griswold, a research vice president and e-commerce technology analyst with Gartner Inc. “The pace of e-commerce technology development will do nothing but accelerate going forward and the retailers that want to keep bringing the best customers to their e-commerce, mobile and social media sites will keep on investing in better systems,” says Griswold. “For retailers that keep on making timely and well thought out decisions about future investments in their e-commerce infrastructure, better technology will give them a big competitive advantage.” www.internetretailer.com
Taming analytics Massive data flows can make analytics a beast, but new techniques put retailers back in control BY PAUL DEMERY
A
sk any retailer, and they probably have a story to tell about managing analytics data. It’s a chore many dread, with either not enough data to do much good, or so much data that it’s impossible to decide what to do with it all. These days it’s more likely to be the latter, as retailers seek to make sense of data streaming in from e-commerce sites, bricks-and-mortar stores, contact centers, e-mail, mobile devices and social networks. It’s one of the toughest jobs in retailing, but if done well it can produce big rewards by attracting customers ready to buy what’s offered them. The key to success, says David Zucker, chief marketing officer of trendy flash-sale retailer Gilt Groupe Inc., is starting out with information that merchandisers and marketers can effectively put to use as they reach out to a broad range of consumers, then building on that data and expertise to run more sophisticated campaigns targeting segments of shoppers with the products they’re likely to buy. Take on too much data, too soon, and merchants and marketers can get overwhelmed. “Getting acclimated with data is step one,” Zucker says. “Otherwise, people’s eyes glaze over and their heads explode. Merchandising people who aren’t accustomed to looking www.internetretailer.com
at statistics all day have to first get comfortable with analytics.” As Gilt and other retailers and analytics experts have learned, however, the tools and services for accessing and using analytics data are becoming both more sophisticated and easier to use. “One of the challenges I had for years as a retailer was managing the massive amount of data about customers from web analytics, call centers, e-mail marketing, and our own segmentation of customers,” says Eric Tobias, a former co-owner of Batteries.com and now president of iGoDigital, a firm that helps retailers use customer data in marketing and merchandising. “It was difficult to bring all that information together and get a single view of a customer.”
To be sure, accessing and using multiple sources of customer data remains a significant challenge for many retailers. A recent study by Unica Software, a unit of IBM Corp. that provides online marketing technology and services, for example, found that 60% of marketers listed “measurement, analysis and learning” at the top of their I.T. wish lists; more than 60% said “turning data into action” was a big organizational issue. But today, Tobias and others say, new technology and more sophisticated outside services make it more possible for retailers to gather and use data from multiple data sources. With the right mix of technology and expertise, retailers of different types and sizes are finding they

TAMING ANALYTICS can get a better handle on multiple sources of customer data and put it to use to build customer relationships and sales.
Rosetta Stone lifts conversions One retailer taking advantage of updated analytics software is Rosetta Stone Inc., a publisher and retailer of electronic and interactive languagelearning programs. The retailer, which sells online and in physical stores, is using the Online Marketing Suite from Adobe Systems Inc. to better understand where its online customers come from, how they shop on its e-commerce site, and what kind of merchandising and marketing pitches they’re likely to respond to, says Shane Li, Rosetta Stone’s senior web analyst. Using the Online Marketing Suite, which makes use of the analytics technology that Adobe acquired in 2010 when it bought Omniture Inc., Rosetta Stone has produced an 8% to 9% lift in its online conversion rate, resulting in a 4% increase in average order value and a 13% rise in revenue per visitor, Li says. “We have tracking for each marketing channel, so we know where people came from, and we know which groups of visitors were recent demo takers versus which were purchasers,” Li says. That’s important, he adds, because Rosetta Stone can then respond with the marketing offers shown to be most effective with each customer segment. Rosetta Stone has learned, for example, that visitors to RosettaStone.com who click a product demo are far more responsive to e-mail offers than visitors that did not view the product demonstration. “Conversion rates are a lot better if we send the e-mail after they view a demo,” Li says. To build on that kind of customer activity, the company now places prominently on the lead page for each language an 18 Internet Retailer
invitation for visitors to enter their e-mail address so they can view an introductory video of its new Rosetta Stone Version 4 TOTALe computer-based language programs. Rosetta Stone also has found that it can improve conversion rates and sales by placing more videos as well as customer testimonials on other pages of its web site. And it’s gleaned some surprising insights about how its customers shop and respond to online content. The data shows, for example, that

of-sale systems along with online data to get a singular, cross-channel look at customers to build more effective online content, says Tobias of iGoDigital, which compiles multichannel shopping data for hhgregg to support its e-commerce strategy. “Web site analytics alone wasn’t really providing the necessary insight to properly merchandise products on the web site,” he says. “So we worked with them to get a more singular view of customers across channels.” IGoDigital’s software uses a unique identifier for each tracked customer, usually an e-mail address the customer provides when making an online or offline purchase. By combining data on daily store sales with web browsing data, hhgregg learned, for example, how some customers purchased TVs or other items in stores, including the specific model and the price, after having researched similar products on hhgregg.com. Knowing which price points and model a customer finally purchased in the store, he adds, has enabled the retailer to sharpen its online merchandising to capture more sales online, Tobias says.
Gilt reaches out shoppers reviewing materials for one foreign language will often switch to another language program if presented with content about it, helping to reduce cart abandonment. “When shoppers search for a German program, then see an offer for French as well as German, they may switch to French,” Li says. Analytics data can be especially powerful when it comes from more than one sales channel, such as bricks-and-mortar stores and a retailer’s web site. Multichannel retailer hhgregg Inc., a chain of about 175 stores selling consumer electronics and household appliances across the southeastern U.S., is using customer data from its store point-

Gilt Groupe, the members-only, flash-sale retailer of designer fashions, has used analytics data to expand its market reach after it figured out it was missing the mark in terms of persuading women to buy men’s goods. “Women tend to buy stuff for men, but we were under-performing,” says Zucker, the chief marketing officer. To turn that around, Gilt worked with customer analytics data compiled by Mu Sigma, the retailer’s analytics service provider, to build predictive models of women shoppers most likely to respond to pitches for men’s products. Mu Sigma combined such data as demographic profiles of women known to purchase men’s products www.internetretailer.com
TAMING ANALYTICS with information about how women shop on Gilt.com. Mu Sigma then helped to identify segments of shoppers most likely to respond to particular promotions. Women within certain age and income ranges, and from particular areas of the United States, for example, might be more likely than other women to shop for gifts such as men’s cufflinks. Zucker adds that Gilt also knew from web site analytics data that many women shoppers do their impulse buying at noon—which turned out to be a good time to present them with offers for men’s products. When Gilt sends e-mail offers for men’s products to segments of female shoppers that it deems mostly likely to respond, the online retailer experiences a 10% to 25% increase in the rate of shoppers who respond to those offers and make a purchase, Zucker says.
Giacomazzi relies on constant and real-time updates of online shopping activity on her site that she can view through an analytics dashboard from Spring Metrics, a company that caters to small retailers. In addition to showing which Internet search terms visitors may have used to arrive at CastCoverz.com, the dashboard lets Giacomazzi drill down into the actual on-site browsing paths shoppers took, and whether those paths led to a sale. She can also see a visitor’s geographic location.
Small-retailer view While Gilt has developed in just a few years into a top-50 online retailer, with 2010 web sales of $425 million by Internet Retailer estimates, much smaller e-retailers also are finding ways to use analytics data effectively. CastCoverz, a small web-only retailer that sells decorative and waterproof covers for medical casts placed on broken arms and legs, has learned from its analytics applications that what it had thought of as a tiny niche is bigger than expected, and that consumers shop for these products in unanticipated ways. “When building this business I had expected it to be a lot of onetime sales, and that I wouldn’t have a lot of repeat customers—but I was wrong,” says Annette Giacomazzi, who launched CastCoverz.com after her daughter needed a cast for a broken bone. Analytics, she says, has enabled her to build customers’ interest in a variety of products and generate repeat orders, she says. www.internetretailer.com
Annette Giacomazzi, owner, CastCoverz: ‘It’s all about selling to customers when they’re ready to buy.’
The dashboard, which she pulls up on her computer screen daily, also continually updates the number of visitors to the site and sales conversion rates. “I can watch all this in real time,” Giacomazzi says. Spring Metrics provides its analytics software through JavaScript links to client sites and in three pricing tiers: A free version provides basic information; more sophisticated versions range from $29 to $99 per month, based on the level of analytics detail users can drill down into, according to marketing manager Ron Carson. Giacomazzi reads off details of a recent site visit: “From Stamford, Conn., on the site for 17 minutes, 18 seconds, viewed 10 pages,” she
says. “It shows how much time spent on each page, and how the visitor went to sections on Legs, Boots, and About Us, but not to Arms.” By combining that kind of specific visitor information with broader aggregated visitor data, including conversion rates and sales, she says, CastCoverz learns about consumer interest in product mixes, and demand from different regions of the country. By monitoring how many visitors click the About Us section, she learns how many visitors want to know more about the company as well as its products. The retailer also gathers customers’ e-mail addresses when they check out with Google Checkout, the only payment method offered on its site. That helps it track customers’ repeat activity. And it learns through social media and other communications with customers that many come back repeatedly to buy cast covers as gifts, such as when a friend or someone in their son’s or daughter’s local high school suffers a sports injury. By combining such information with Spring Metrics data on how visitors arrive at its site and shop for products, CastCoverz can more effectively promote product combinations on its site and through targeted marketing campaigns, Giacomazzi says. For example, it may promote packages of products likely to sell in certain regions and during particular seasons, such as decorative and waterproof leg-cast covers promoted in winter e-mails to customers in northern areas, a customer segment that orders leg cast covers more often than consumers who live in less icy climes. “It’s all about selling to customers when they’re ready to buy,” Giacomazzi says. That’s what analytics can help retailers do, if they’ve got the technology and expertise to bring their data to heel.

The democratization of e-commerce BY BERNARDINE WU
W
hile there are still definite distinctions between e-commerce capabilities and technology that a large enterprise business such as Best Buy or Macy’s needs (and can afford) and what is practical for a small or medium-size merchant, a lot of today’s must-have functionality has become quite affordable for the smaller companies. Each year, the barriers to enter the e-commerce marketplace for vendors gets significantly lower and, therefore, so does the technology barrier to entry for retailers. There are more vendors with more applications that are easier to use, cheaper to implement and contain more functionality than even 18 months ago. Open source software has become increasingly popular for smaller retailers. And while there is a tendency to think that open source means “free,” that is not the case. Nor is open source going to be an end-to-end solution to technology challenges. But open source does provide retailers with comprehensive and cost-effective options. The challenge with open source is to be sure you either have the programming skills in-house or you choose a developer or systems integrator that can do the job. The prevalence of Software-asa-Service and “cloud,” or network, applications can lower or defray 20 Internet Retailer
Many options exist for retailers who want to “go big” by taking advantage of the capabilities of other storefronts, shopping channels or dropshippers. Amazon Marketplace, eBay Stores, Etsy, the Facebook Shopping Mall and Google Commerce are among the big players.
the expense of a good application. Not actually owning the software or hardware is now viewed as increasingly acceptable and less risky, from senior management’s perspective. It may even be viewed as the more desirable option. Online merchants today seldom need to develop, buy or host the software, especially since almost every e-commerce technology, including complex back-end systems, can now be obtained as SaaS. More and more, smaller retailers are looking for end-to-end e-commerce systems. They are viewing their business more holistically and often, more as multichannel

than previously. The more frontto-back functionality that an application can provide, the easier the integration and, usually, the more cost-effective. For example, e-commerce platforms with order management system capabilities are becoming standard requirements. In other cases, retailers are looking for vendors that offer technology, fulfillment and customer service in one.
The market drives innovation Since the number and variety of e-commerce and multichannel businesses is also expanding, more vendors are innovating and www.internetretailer.com

THE DEMOCRATIZATION OF E-COMMERCE handling the many special needs of e-commerce. One could always sell anything online, of course. But now, more vendors have tools for retailers of specialty verticals such as subscriptions and continuity programs, sharing, and others. E-commerce’s rapid growth and increasing importance to the bottom line are making it cost-effective for vendors to include more and more features and functionality in their “out of the box” applications, making these applications available to smaller retailers within their price range. As the needs of the big players become
the norm, they become standards for smaller merchants, and that demand allows for vendors to invest in turning those features into commodities. Many affordable applications now contain the tools a small or medium-size retailer needs, right out of the box–such as search engine optimization capabilities, advanced search, guided navigation and rich imaging. Also available is functionality that includes more robust merchandising, promotions, and basic personalization, account management, order management and improved reporting.
10 ways to be a successful smaller merchant Don’t put all your eggs in one employee’s basket. You can’t afford to have your hardwon business collapse if your webmaster gets hit by a bus. Cross-train, communicate, define your standard operating procedures—and have a Plan B in case Plan A fizzles. Know your competition. Don’t necessarily compare yourself against Target or Saks. Find the other smaller merchants that would appeal to your customer. Define your voice. Having a voice is an smaller merchant advantage. Don’t let it go to waste. Look at Woot or ThinkGeek. They aren’t small and independent anymore, but their personalities shine throughout their site. They take a conversational tone in product descriptions, FAQs and e-mails. This can help create a loyal following. Find your niche. You can’t be all things to all customers. If you’re selling T-shirts, “curate” your products to reflect your image. If you’re selling home goods, sell the ones that map to your customer base. Turn “small” into an advantage. Take advantage of accessible technology; react quickly to changes in the marketplace. Focus on your business needs before your technology. While very important in achieving your goals, don’t put the technology cart before the business horse until you know what you need. “Best in class” might be more than you need. Be realistic when assessing your needs and your limitations, and find an application that fits where you are now and where you want to be over the next few years. Tempting as it may seem, don’t necessarily go for a Cadillac application when a Ford will do the trick. KISS. Keep it simple. Don’t over-design or over-engineer. Prepare for reasonable contingencies but don’t try to prepare for everything. Complicated systems are hard to implement and hard to maintain. Things change at the speed of light. A 10-year plan will be useless in three years, unless the plan for year two is: reassess the 10-year plan. Plan your multichannel needs for three years out. Then revisit. Multichannel success requires people, not just technology. Technology is a necessary tool but it is only as good as the people using it. Be sure that you are continuously evaluating, developing and enhancing your team. 22 Internet Retailer

Even better, retailers are taking advantage of out-of-the-box integrations with popular third-party vendors from marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay to social sites like Facebook to tools such as analytics and ratings and reviews.
Exploring other alternatives Many options exist for retailers who want to “go big” by taking advantage of the capabilities of other storefronts, shopping channels or dropshippers. Amazon and eBay have always been available as partners for smaller merchants. If auction sites are losing their popularity, there are more online shopping malls for retailers of all types and sizes. Etsy.com, for example, is a relatively new but well-known site for producers of handmade products, and Facebook and Google are burgeoning shopping portals. The difference in the costs of doing it yourself vs. outsourcing is significant and yet another equalizer for small to mid-size merchants. Many retailers now work with dropshippers, rather than purchasing inventory and fulfilling orders themselves. This gives them more product options and requires less of an investment, in part because there are no warehousing costs or pick, pack and ship staff needed. Of course, the downside is you lose control. Finding the right partner is imperative. Having an international presence is more accessible to smaller merchants now. Before, they were limited to using the postal service. Now, as shipping internationally becomes more common, there are vendors that enable retailers to ship without having to know and deal with all the rules of international shipping, or deal with internal technical integrations. Today, there is a good deal of competitive intelligence that was www.internetretailer.com
THE DEMOCRATIZATION OF E-COMMERCE previously only available to the big players who could afford to pay for it. There is a wealth—or maybe a deluge—of information available to anyone who bothers to look for it, and a lot of it is free. Whitepapers, webinars, articles on the Internet, along with tradeshows and conferences, all provide the data and knowledge to everyone, regardless of the size of their company. There are several web sites that provide information about companies, such as Hoovers and Dun & Bradstreet, some of it free, some of it relatively inexpensive. Government web sites, such as the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s repository of public company filings at SEC.gov/edgar, can be a treasuretrove of data. E-commerce marketplace data-gathering companies such as Hitwise, comScore and Google Trends can provide insightful information, enabling merchants to compare themselves against companies in their vertical and those that are of comparable size. The key to real success is translating all that data into actions that match your business strategy.
Challenges for the smaller merchants So, while new, cheaper technologies are providing advantages to the smaller merchants that didn’t exist previously, there are still challenges. The sophistication of online shoppers results in their expectation of the same quality user experience, regardless on the size of the merchant. After all, the beauty and the curse of the web is that a small business can appear to be a big one. Therefore, the customer will not accept a sub-par shopping experience, from the usability and design of the site to the ease and reliability of delivery. Smaller retailers understand the importance of customer acquisition and spend a lot of money on search www.internetretailer.com
engine marketing. They understand how to buy keywords on Google and do so with abandon. SEO is more of a challenge, which requires the comprehensive and ongoing effort to embed keywords into all aspects of the web site. Some of this is a technology issue, some of it is having the right people (and right number of them) to do the work, analyze the results, test and repeat. Also, smaller merchants tend not to focus on customer retention and increasing the average order value.
Bernardine Wu is CEO of FitForCommerce, an e-commerce consulting and research company.
They worry more about getting the first customer and compete on price for that customer and don’t focus on creating loyal customers. Often, they don’t maximize their use of e-mail marketing, which is a very costeffective tool with high ROI. Improving loyalty can be laborintensive and smaller merchants often don’t have people with the bandwidth or perhaps skills for this. More effective merchandising, appropriate upsells and cross-sells, promotional strategies, database segmentation, the right e-mail marketing, analysis of demographics, and how to market to them all require honed skills. Smaller merchants often have employees
who wear many hats, because they have smaller budgets. Unfortunately, this sometimes leads to people who are jacks of all trades but masters of none. Basic skills can take a merchant part of the way down the road to success but more expertise is needed to take reach the destination. Customer service is a critical function that is hard to do well. It’s costly and most smaller merchants can’t afford the comprehensive, high-quality customer service that a larger competitor can. For example, Bed Bath and Beyond will send a return authorization with every order; Newegg will do so for selected orders (those with high return rates); most smaller retailers cannot afford to do either. Sometimes, the desire to squeeze every dollar out of a sale (and to give the minimum amount back) results in unfortunate policies that smaller merchants could avoid, including charging a restocking fee and forcing customers to go to the manufacturer with a return after 15 days. These can hurt customer retention. Performing customer service inhouse provides the opportunity to have a more personalized service, to keep a store’s personality, and to better resolve any issues based of staff expertise. Also, it is a great opportunity to up-sell. But handling returns makes it more difficult, logistically. Live chat is becoming increasingly popular with smaller merchants but most of the bigger retailers seem to shy away from it. Perhaps they have invested so much in an effective customer service function that they don’t feel live chat is a worthwhile or necessary tool. Live chat is a helpful tool, but can be expensive if deployed across the whole site and can be annoying to shoppers if it is too intrusive. Create appropriate rules that will initiate chat if a customer is abandoning their cart or they are stuck in

The democratization of e-commerce checkout beyond a certain number of minutes. And give the customer the option to initiate chat at any time. Insight into inventory is another challenge for most smaller merchants. Their real-time knowledge of their inventory can range from non-existent to not optimal. The smaller the business, the harder it is to have current information on inventory, and often it is a manual process. This is not only an ordering problem but it almost always becomes a customer service problem. Often, the main problem is lack of communication between the front end and the back end.
Technology, security and legality Smaller merchants also tend not to pay enough attention to their current technology–whether homegrown or purchased. By not keeping up with technology developments and upgrades, merchants’ systems quickly achieve “legacy” status, leading to bigger technology investments in the future in order to compete with their peers. A common failure for smaller merchants is scalability. While their technology can handle their business most of the year without incident, any sudden spike (Christmas, the “Oprah effect”) can render their system inoperable and often unable to quickly recover. Another danger of using dated technology is not being up to date with security. Unfortunately, hackers and viruses are up to date, so it’s imperative that small online merchants provide the same quality of security as any big company. While big companies have certainly had their own security problems, they understand that it is their responsibility to address security. Sometimes, smaller merchant businesses do not focus on it as much as they should. Often, security tools are included 24 Internet Retailer
in provider applications but smaller merchants need to make it a priority and be sure to build it into their inhouse-developed technologies. Another potentially daunting aspect of e-commerce for a smaller merchant is the increasingly complex legal environment of doing business on the web. Different states (not to mention different countries)
For example, it’s quick and easy to leverage social media. Sometimes, smaller merchants can do this better than large companies because they are not so restricted in determining their voice. There is no corporate image to contend with, no large committee of stakeholders to approve every action and no legal department to sign off. The CEO can just decide and do.
By their nature smaller and more nimble merchants can react more quickly to new trends in the e-commerce world. have different laws, raising such questions as: Where to collect sales tax? What is PCI-compliance? How to handle customs issues? These are issues for any e-commerce business– the rules apply equally to the under $1 million business as they do to the $1 billion merchant. In some ways, it is even tougher for the smaller merchants because they don’t have legal and tax departments dedicated to figuring all this out to their best advantage.
The advantages of being small Given the availability of stateof-the-art technology, it does not take that much for someone with ambition and an idea to create a viable e-commerce business. Many providers have tools that enable small retailers to get an e-commerce site up in days, making it hard for shoppers to tell if a merchant is a mom-and-pop business or a bigger player. By their nature smaller and more nimble merchants can react more quickly to new trends in the e-commerce world.

Smaller merchants also can get mobile quickly. From mobile marketing to a mobile app to a mobile web site, there are quick and relatively inexpensive options for getting in the game and competing with the big stores. There also is strength in numbers and retailers can join forces with other smaller companies. There are sites like Etsy that create a common marketplace for companies with niche products. And there are affiliate marketing programs that can help you expand your reach— for a fee. Other marketplaces for getting products to the consumers include Amazon and Buy.com. Given all these options, the temptation might be for an smaller merchant to overestimate the opportunity and the revenue potential of e-commerce growth, and to underestimate the amount of preparation, work and money required. It is important for you to understand what your strategy is, define your objectives, determine your requirements and create your plan. Then execute. l www.internetretailer.com

f there’s one thing you should know by now about your customers, it’s that they are impatient.

Yet to compete for their mindshare and loyalty–and their dollars– you’ve taken steps to make your web
a “tag,” or tracking code, that gets placed on your site so you can better track visitors’ activities, measure the performance of your campaigns, and glean valuable data to help improve your target-marketing efforts. But all of this comes at a price– it slows down your web site. And that can have serious implications. Even a one-second delay in page load speed will result in increased site abandonment and a 7% loss in conversions, according to a 2008
Also, when your site suffers latency, or page-loading delays, due to the number of marketing campaign tags, it can cause friction with your information technology department, which is often charged with improving your site’s performance.

REDUCE LOAD TIME 25% of respondents said they have not taken any steps to improve site speed, while the majority have taken some steps but feel they could do more. The reasons most site owners and marketers haven’t taken adequate measures may include a deficit of time and resources, and budget constraints that prevent them from purchasing tools and technologies. A general lack of understanding about what corrective measures to take is also a contributor. If the scenario above sounds at all familiar, then keep reading. This article is intended to shed some light on how to address latency, by
offering advice on how best to measure site performance and providing some practical steps you can take to improve the speed of your site.
Where to look for performance issues In order to accurately measure page load speed–and determine the right “fix”–there are a variety of factors to consider: Server-side vs. client-side performance. You can address the server side by adding more servers or using acceleration technologies, but you don’t have a lot of control over client-side issues. For example,

do pages load differently on different browsers, or different devices? If so, you can work with your web designer to overcome some of those problems. How about different connection speeds? Does a significant portion of your customers live in areas where high-speed broadband connectivity is still limited? If so you might want to tailor your site to them–unless they represent only a small portion of your customer base. Where your visitors are. Are your visitors in your backyard, or across the country? Or even overseas? You should use testing services that will show site performance for various access nodes and paths, so you can tell if your site performs well for local traffic but is quite a bit slower for traffic coming from other, far-off places. This might indicate that you need to have platform servers in other locations to accommodate those visitors. Peak and off-peak traffic times. What are the variations in traffic load that your site can accommodate, and when are you more likely to see peak traffic numbers? If you can pinpoint certain times of day, or even specific dates when traffic volumes spike, you can enact temporary adjustments to improve performance during those times– while keeping your site intact during other, less busy periods. Look beyond the home page. Different features and functionalities will load on different pages of your site, so don’t assume that the way your home page loads is a good representation of your whole site. You need to evaluate different pages separately, and consider any applications that might be slowing particular pages down, such as user reviews on product pages or too many images on search results pages. Evaluate whether tags are slowing down your site. You can determine if third-party tags, used by external www.internetretailer.com
REDUCE LOAD TIME data-tracking providers, are slowing down your site by simply switching them off. This is not recommended as a permanent fix because of the loss of tracking data, but it can show you if tags are contributing to site latency. For example, one of our clients’ thirdparty tags were affected by Hurricane Irene this past summer, and they saw their web site speed up considerably when they were forced to turn the tags off. There are providers that can evaluate the amount of time tags take to load; and tools that simulate a slow-loading tag, which will give you an idea of the potential drag on your site’s performance. As you’re evaluating the areas outlined above, it’s important to remember that you should never look solely at performance averages–a mistake people often make. If you only consider average performance you may have a false perception that your site performs just fine, and you can miss out on determining the real problems. As an example from work conducted by web analytics consultancy Semphonic, a look at Site A’s page transmission speeds shows that the average was 1,021 Kbps— kilobits per second—which isn’t too bad compared to its competitor sites, which ranged from 880 Kbps to 2,810 Kbps. Yet a closer look at Site A’s site statistics shows that the maximum transmission speed was 1,642, and the minimum was 31 Kbps. This is a pretty big variation–and the worst-case scenario is quite a bit slower than the average. So look at the full picture, not just the average.
Measuring latency: Four steps to acceleration So, given all that’s been discussed above, how can you go about speeding up your site beyond some of the simple tweaks you might already have made? There’s no simple, black and white answer–the most www.internetretailer.com
important thing to remember is that you need to balance the user experience, and all the features and applications you’re using to enhance usability, with site performance. How to strike that balance will differ for every retail site. There are ways to improve performance without sacrificing the experience, but it’s important to first look at the trade-offs people are currently making between functionality and the negative impacts of slow page loads. In our recent

survey, respondents listed the most undesired outcomes resulting from slow-loading sites, led by reduced conversions, visitor abandonment and perceived negative brand experience (see chart). Respondents also identified the key steps they’ve taken to improve site performance, including optimizing page code, improving performance monitoring and reducing page weight. There are many ways marketers currently address page load speed, all of which are effective, except the idea of reducing or removing thirdparty tags–a common misperception. While nearly three-quarters (71%) of respondents said they’re
aware that optimization of thirdparty marketing pixels/tags can hasten page load times, more than one-third addressed the impact of tags by reducing or removing them altogether–which means that all that valuable tracking data has gone out the window. When tags are removed, marketers have no idea how well their campaigns are performing and what contribution they’re making to an actual purchase. Before you jump the gun and remove all the third-party tags from your site, strip your product pages of compelling images or add a bunch of servers where they may not be needed, consider the following five options, which might give you the performance boost you need now. 1. Optimize page code. This was the number one response people gave on our survey for how they’re addressing latency. Optimizing page code, or shrinking the Javascript, involves merging the separate sets of instructions that tell the page what to do. It stands to reason that downloading lots of small scripts takes longer than downloading one large script. Marketing professionals might have some trepidation, given that this is in the domain of the I.T. team. But quick fixes can be done, even by those with limited programming knowledge. All that needs to be done is to open the Javascript files and copy and paste them all into one file. If this sounds a bit daunting, there are a number of online resources that provide an easy guide to merging files dynamically, such as Smarty.net. 2. Address site functionality. Site performance will vary from page to page, depending on what applications and functionalities you have–such as site search, shopping cart, check-out, live chat, etc. This can be particularly true if you rely on hosted solutions. For example,

Reduce load time if your site search pages load slowly and you use a hosted provider, you can ask them what options they have for improving their speed, or consider switching to a different provider. Or, as was the case with one company, perhaps the additions to your installed internal search database grew by volumes over recent years, to a point that it dramatically limited performance–in which case, a clean-up of the database would likely speed up performance. 3. Reduce the weight of social media apps. Social media plug-ins, while increasingly popular for their potential viral impact, have recently been identified as a contributor to site latency. For example, in a study we did in conjunction with Catchpoint, we determined by looking at a number of sites that Facebook’s ‘Like’ plug-in stalls page load time by approximately 0.2 seconds–which might not sound like much, but when it’s combined with other plug-ins (like Twitter, Google +1, etc.) and third-party tags it can drag down performance. Google has taken proactive measures to improve the speed of its +1 plug-in, but again, when it’s combined with other plug-ins the impact can still be significant. 4. Optimize third-party tags. Every online marketing application or campaign includes a tiny piece of tracking code–or “tag”–that sits on your site. There are tags for display ads, paid search, SEO, retargeting, e-mail marketing, affiliates, site analytics and more. Each individual tag can take up to one quarter of a second to load. Our research shows that the average e-commerce web site has more than 20 different tags, many on the same page. Most e-commerce sites incorporate five to seven tags per page. As marketers invest more in online marketing, their growing 30 Internet Retailer
need to accurately track performance has increased the proliferation of tags, which has contributed greatly to latency in site performance. As previously mentioned, many marketers address this problem by significantly reducing, or even removing altogether, the tags on their site. One major U.S. retailer removed all its tags during the holiday season and reported a sales gain of 15% just because their pages
relevant to particular visitors are loaded, rather than loading them all every single time. Finally, you should make sure any old tags that are no longer in use are removed from your site. Often, tags get put on a site and are then forgotten, and the accumulation of them can drag down performance. 5. Start at the top. When it comes to how your pages should load, always work your way from
loaded faster. However, the downside to removing the tags was that the retailer gave up the ability to track their customers’ marketing activities, which resulted in an incalculable loss of customer data. That’s a very difficult trade-off, and one most marketers don’t want to make. A better approach to third-party tags is to optimize them–something you can achieve through use of more sophisticated tag management systems (which put all tags in one container, so they’re more easily implemented and managed). There are several ways to optimize your tags. For example, you can configure your tag management system to perform parallel tag loading, which loads all tags in parallel rather than in sequential order, where slower loading tags can hold up the rest, thus reducing the total time necessary for the page to complete. You can also set limits so that any tags exceeding a certain amount of time to load can be timed out, and set your system so that only tags
the top down, loading items above the fold first. Taking this approach with all the properties on your site– including images, content and even tags–demonstrates to your visitors that you value their time and enables them to get started with their shopping experience right away, rather than waiting for items to load that they’re not even readily able to see. When you take a comprehensive view of your site’s performance and how it’s measured, you can easily find areas for improvement without having to take drastic measures that compromise usability and campaign tracking. Whatever you do, be sure to test your site’s performance regularly so you’re better able to determine when problems arise, and how to address them. Doing so will ensure that you deliver the smooth, streamlined experience your customers expect, and will help strengthen your brand reputation, improve search engine rankings, reduce site abandonment and lead to more purchases. l
