Christmas is Coming! A great December starts in April

Despite the slowdown in the economy, online retail sits in an interesting spot. In fact, a MediaPost blog article goes as far to say that “innovation and e-commerce are looking impervious to economic ravages, at least, for now.” Internet spending for Valentine’s Day was up almost 8½% more than last year - reports Retail Decisions. The growth in U.S. unique visitors to online commerce sites rose 7% in January , 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. Online retail growth is averaging 21% so far this year, compared to 5.4% growth for offline retail.
Now for the interesting stuff…
A March news story from Internet Retailer reports “Retailers strive for a better customer experience.” We’re sure that online customers are keyed into this as well. If retailers are placing more emphasis this year on upgrading the usability of their online stores, then staying ahead of the competition takes on a new level. In addition to improving online usability, it has become important to add online functionality and use rich Internet applications to improve the customer experience.
What does this mean to you?
Planning for an optimal Christmas no matter what the economy needs to start now. The drive for more usability coincides with increased spending on technology and methods for measuring how well web sites are supporting a better online customer experience. Increased spending this year is planned for web analytics, customer satisfaction surveys, and usability labs.
Is it time to:
- Creatively or strategically refresh your site?
- Add more interactive features, like registries or reviews?
- Add rich imaging?
- Add social networking, such as page links to Facebook or Digg?
Not sure? Start with a Baseline Health Analysis of your site to see where you ”rank” with those who land on your site, as well as your competitive market.
Indeed, Christmas is coming - time to make your list and check it twice.

In the beginning, Al Gore created the Internet. On the third day Jerry Yang and David Filo saw that it was good and started Yahoo! And while everyone else was resting on the seventh day, Matt Ledford and Keith Enloe founded the company now known as FastPivot. Nothing’s been the same since.
Since 1997, we’ve launched hundreds of online stores on the Yahoo! Stores platform. While almost everything about FastPivot (including our name!) and online store development has changed over the last 10 years, the values that drive our business haven’t.
- We believe that strong relationships are the secret to a successful site.
- We take innovation seriously—one step at a time.
- We know your site is more than a store—it’s also your business, livelihood, and passion.
But don’t think we’re all mission statement and no fun.
Starting this month, FastPivot kicks off a year-long celebration of its 10th year on the .com roller coaster we call online retail. (We’ve got lots of plans in the works—so stay tuned.) To get this birthday party started—and with an eye on the calendar—we invite you to consider our “Ready or Not, Here Come the Holidays!” promotion.
Ask yourself…
- Ready to add key viral marketing features like email-a-friend?
- Know you’ve got to do something about that cold Yahoo! shopping cart?
- Got an opinion? Want a blog?
- Need an interactive merchandising feature that keeps shoppers shopping?
We’re offering some of our most effective online retailing solutions—at over 10% off our normal prices. If you act before November 1, our stuff can be on your site before Turkey Day! No matter what else goes on sale this holiday season, it won’t get better than this. Read more about our “Ready-Set-Sell” holiday promo here!
