How do you maximize your sales and make each of your customers feel like a rock star? Sure, each customer is just one of the thousands of shoppers on your eCommerce site at any given time—with new ones arriving by the second. Yet all of them expect to have your undivided attention. So how do you make that happen? The answer is to give them their own digital personal shopper. Visitors to your site can be wowed by a great online experience, they can feel wanted with a series of personalized suggestions, and they can be a priority at checkout time with one-click ordering. But that only happens when everything on your site works as it should. The experience is everything—which is why approximately 60 percent of senior IT leaders are more concerned about applications failing at peak times than they are about security (1). Make Every Day a Happy Holiday Online shoppers have high expectations. The average consumer expects a Web page to load in two seconds or less (2). Even a one-second delay can result in a 7 percent reduction in conversions—constituting $2.5 million in lost sales every year (2). The stakes are particularly high during peak holiday periods—from Thanksgiving to Christmas and beyond—with their unpredictable surges in demand. So how do you make it a happy holiday for you and your users by ensuring that everyone visiting your site has their own personal shopping experience?
