provide perspective for global retailers on consumer behavior

perspective of consumer shopping
• The scope has been expanded on key customer experience topics and explores what
drives the complete path to purchase – from pre-purchase to purchase to post-purchase
• It delivers insights into shopping preferences and current levels of satisfaction with
online and omnichannel shopping, taking the consumer’s pulse on what tactics influence
positive shopping experiences

Introduction to the Global Study
• One of the great opportunities provided by online retail is the ability to sell to
customers in previously unreachable marketplaces
• In this survey, shoppers worldwide said that almost one in four (24%) of their
purchases were made with online retailers outside their own country
– Half of these (12%) were made with U.S.-based retailers, and the other half elsewhere
• In the U.S., more than half (54%) of shoppers said they had made a purchase with
online retailers outside of their own country

making a purchase, and when and where should it be
presented?
• What do consumers want to see from retailers in the online
checkout and delivery and returns process?
• What drives customer retention and retailer recommendations?
Mobile, Social and Future of Retail
• How are mobile and social media channels changing consumers’
shopping habits and expectations?

The “flex shopper” emerges worldwide in today’s
multi-channel, multi-device world
• The flex shopper is ruthlessly efficient,
switching retail channels (stores and online)

to best suit personal convenience when
researching, purchasing and receiving goods
• Information and control are paramount
and retailers must offer near-perfect
shopping experiences across every
channel and device to thrive

studied vary in their adoption rate of
technology and how shoppers apply it
to their shopping process
