What makes people buy online?

A study by Jupiter Research and ratings and reviews technology provider Bazaarvoice found the top 3 influences on online users in their buying decision, when researching online to buy from an etailer or high street shop, are:


1 - 70% - user reviews as the most helpful feature


2 - 57% - product comparison tools


3 - 51% - images


The growing impact of peer review is a consistent theme (see November blog)and is a core part of Web 2.0. For more stats on this than you could possible work out what to do with, have a look at www.bazaarvoice.com/industryStats.html
