MCM E-Special Report:
Get a handle on site abandonment

Executive summary:
Most marketers understand that Website abandonment is a problem, but they don’t always know how bad it is. The 2007 Harris Survey of Consumer Behavior Online, sponsored by online software and services provider Tealeaf, reveals that 42% of consumers abandon a site or switch to a competitor when they experience problems.

Some customers are using your site for research before heading to your store or picking up the phone to order. Or the quality of traffic on your site may have more to do with the problem. It’s the seemingly qualified customers who abandon that you need to be concerned about. Multichannel Merchant’s e-special report tells you where site abandonment stands, why it happens, and what you can do about it.
