Maxymiser, the global expert in testing, personalization and optimization for online businesses, announced today the release of its final eBook in a series of four dedicated to online retailers called: "Four Elements of a Winning Shopping Cart: Best Practices in Retail Website Testing and Optimization." The company reviewed hundreds of retail sites to identify the industry's top players and has released its findings as a 4-part series. The eBook offers retailers tried and true methods of shopping cart optimization strategies as seen by leading online retailers. It is available for download on the Maxymiser website.
The 9 leading online shopping cart experiences were awarded to retailers Apple, DSW, Victoria's Secret, Staples, Soap.com, Oriental Trading, Shop It to Me, Teleflora, and Harry & David, as these brands are focused on providing shoppers with a clean, streamlined and efficient shopping cart funnel that eliminates distraction, frustration and unnecessary errors -- ensuring that more of their browsers converted to buyers. The eBook reviews crucial product page areas such as clear and concise progression indicators, presenting shipping options and costs, providing guided messaging, prominent security and pricing, and offering recommendations for cross-sell and up-sell.
"With nearly 65% of shopping carts going unclaimed, check-out abandonment is a real issue plaguing online retailers," says Paul Dunay, Vice President of Marketing for Maxymiser. "Online check-out can be frustrating and cumbersome -- which is the last thing consumers need when flipping the switch from browsers to buyers. But with a few best practices and the application of website testing, retailers can improve their conversion, while providing better online shopping experiences."
"Four Elements of a Winning Shopping Cart" is available for free download on Maxymiser's website.
