Shopping Cart Abandonment Solved! Mike Banks ValentineImagine yourself at the local Sears carrying a shopping basket down the isles looking for the perfect gift for your spouse when you come to a great looking watch in the jewelry department. You know she'll love the design, but also know she has a curious allergy to white gold and call over a salesperson to ask them what the bevel surround is made of. She reassures you that it's made of platinum so you cheerfully purchase the watch, smiling as you wander over to have it gift-wrapped. Take the same scenario online and imagine you have the same simple question to ask someone. Now what? You most likely just abandon the shopping cart and leave the store because you can't imagine spending that amount of money without knowing whether your sweetie will break out in hives because the white gold allergy affects her wrists so badly. Abandonment of shopping carts online is blamed on everything from fear of using credit cards on the web to privacy concerns. My theory is as follows: If you have any questions about any product or service you are purchasing online, ecommerce sites expect you to either look up the answer in their FAQ's (frequently asked questions page) or just search out their 800 number from the site somewhere and call them yourself to find out. This can be a ridiculous process on some sites as they simply don't want to be bothered with expensive phone calls and leave their number off of the shopping cart pages. They don't want to devote customer service reps to those fickle shoppers that abandon online shopping carts at rates as high as 90% at some ecommerce sites. I'd propose that most online shoppers abandon those carts because they need to know something that could never be considered for those FAQ pages like the term of the product guarantees or how long the battery life is. If there were a simple way to have your questions answered, I'd like to suggest that those shopping carts would rarely ever be abandoned. I've found the solution and can't believe the brilliance of the idea behind the answer to this thorny question. Customer clicks a button labled "CallButton" and gets a pop-up screen asking for their name and phone number so a representative can call them at their convenience to answer any questions and/or concerns! They fill int their name and phone number and receive a polite response page custom designed to reassure them that they will be contacted how and when they would like to be by a person that can actually answer their question! No nasty telephone trees or automated callbacks, but a person from the jewelry department that knows platinum from white gold. You now have the name and phone number of a prime valuable customer ready to buy who WANTS to hear from you. >From the customers viewpoint, this is simple, responsive and satisfying. From the sellers position it is one of the most powerful ecommerce tools to be announced on the web this year! This idea and the powerful software behind that simple button were announced at a press event titled "Showstoppers" during the Spring 2001 InternetWorld conference and show in the City of Angels (Los Angeles) March 15th. This tool receives my vote as a better ecommerce solution than any seen at the huge eCRM (Customer Relationship Management) show held concurrently with the I-World show at the LA convention center this month. The powerful tracking and reporting functions that come as part of the package with this incredibly simple little button could turn around the fortunes of major e-tailers like many of those we've seen sink in the economic downturn. Priced at a very low per-call rate starting at about $1.50 per customer contact, you can have calls routed anywhere from your cell phone to your home office and be assured of making the sale to that customer that very likely would have walked (or clicked) right out of your e-store without that personal contact from a caring customer representative. Most so-called CRM solutions are simply automated-database-tracking-purchase- recording-preference-listing-sub-routine-predictive-expensive- file-them-here-contact-them-then-follow-up-with-them-next types of robotic de-personalizers. CallButton offers the reporting and tracking tools available in those complex CRM solutions with two major differences. Your customer gets their questions answered and you make the sale! It's installed on your page with a short line of HTML code and you don't invest the tens of thousands of dollars required of major corporations for their robotic de-personalizer software. You make the sale, your customer is satisfied. Now comes the bonus. The upsell while the customer is on the phone with you. This prospect has requested your contact, has an interest in more of what you sell and has qualified themselves for your services. If you don't upsell them now, you might consider doing something else with your time. I've signed up for the service and can't imagine how I got along without it. It's priced for the small business and handily solves a difficult issue for both business owners and their customers. http://callbutton.com/ About the Author Mike Banks Valentine WebSite101 "Reading List" Weekly Netrepreneur Tip Sheet Weekly Ezine emphasizing small business on the Internet Subscribe address mailto:WebSite101-subscribe@listbot.com articles available: http://website101.com/freecontent.html Check below for additional Garden Web Links and Information Gardening eBooks: Award Winning Author E-publisher specializing in gardening.
