Brrring brrring! Hear that? That's your customer experience alarm. Luckily for you, this is just a dream. If it were real, you'd need to scramble right now. Or is it real?
The truth is that many e-commerce businesses are sleepwalking through their customer experience, oblivious to the glaring issues that frustrate their customers. You're so close to your products and website—maybe too close—that you've become blind to the obstacles your customers face. This familiarity breeds a dangerous comfort with the status quo, especially when so many e-commerce sites follow similar templates and offer identical features. Does this scenario sound uncomfortably familiar? Then maybe it's time to wake up and take action before that alarm turns into a full-blown emergency. Don't wait—are you ready to face the reality of what your customers are dealing with?
Let's get real: Your customers might feel lost when they shop on your site. To see the problem clearly, look at it from their perspective.
Bob’s perspective, for example. Bob lives far from the shops, so he relies on online stores for more choices. Now picture Bob entering your store, but instead of a bright, welcoming entrance, he's led through the back into a sea of unmarked boxes. No signs, no help—just rows of boxes with tiny labels, leaving Bob to figure out what to do next.
To someone like Bob, your site might be just as confusing. He clicks "Phones" on your website, hoping to find the right one, but all he gets is a vast array of options with no clear direction.
"Need help?" your e-shop asks. But the only help Bob gets are filters packed with specs he doesn't understand—just like trying to read those tiny warehouse labels.
Frustrated and overwhelmed, Bob is ready to give up or look elsewhere for a better experience.
For all you know, this is what your customers could be going through. You wouldn't let someone wander aimlessly in a warehouse, so why are you letting them do so on your website? It's time to rethink how you guide your customers. After all, a better experience means better sales.
Since we've seen how things shouldn't be in e-commerce, let's shift gears and focus on how things should be. How do you imagine the perfect customer experience? What would ideal assistance look like if you could design it yourself? It's probably not a robotic back-and-forth with a chatbot. Instead, think about a friendly conversation with an expert who genuinely wants to help.
This expert isn't there to sell you the first thing that pops up. They’ll ask you simple questions—questions you actually know the answers to. They’ll dig into your needs, how you'll use the product, what you want it for, and what your specific use cases are.
Based on those straightforward questions, they’ll recommend a range of products. Not just one, like the one they personally like or the one with the best reviews, but a selection. And for each of those products, they’ll give you all the details you need to make an informed choice. Because let's face it: Nobody wants to be handed just one option and told, "This is the one!" You want to be the decision-maker—especially when it's your money on the line.
