Internet Retailer magazine made a list of the top tools used by the Top 500 retailers on the Web. It’s an interesting look at how the top guns of online retailing are doing it, and can give the small online retailers on the features they need to consider for their websites (if they are not yet doing them).
These features are as follows, ranked according to the number of top 500 retailers that are using them:
- keyword search
- daily/seasonal specials
- enlarged product view
- what’s new
- affiliate program
- advanced search
- online gift certificates
- rich media
- outlet center
- email a friend
- coupons/rebates
- top sellers
- site personalization
- alternative payments
- store locator
- wish list
- customer reviews
- catalog quick order
- mapping
- product customization
as a small business owner this lest is helpful to see what the big biys are doing 🙂 I have been following James Brausch to boost my success & his tips have been invaluable. I will have to work in more of the marketing strategies that you present here – some of them I had just plain forgotten about.
There are a few features there that I had actually forgoten about, probably due to my daily job related routines and so forth. Thank you for the heads up, wake up call, as we all need it periodically!
