US Consumer Confidence

US Consumer Confidence Improving

2008 E-Commerce Results
Growth rate has come down from the 20%+ y/y to flat/down
Personally, I think this will mirror consumer confidence

Consumer Behavior Has Changed
Fewer consumers go ‘direct’ – over 80% of GMV driven by e-commerce channels
If you aren’t on all of these channels, you are missing a material opportunity.
FBR Research based on publicly available GMV Information.

2008 – Coupons Go Mainstream
35m visitors equates to 18% of the audience

Challenges
Recessionary head-winds
Diversification takes time, resources and attention
If you are eBay only, you are missing 75% of the pie
Opportunities
Multi-channel e-commerce gives you an advantage over competitors
Plenty of growth left in e-commerce, think of 08/09 as a minor speed bump
Coupons are hitting the mainstream
Everyone’s instinct is to ‘hunker down’, but this is probably the best time in our lifetimes to take share. But do so cautiously and with a measured approach

Search – Summary
Opportunities
Many e-commerce players like CSEs and eBay have decreased their paid-search spend due to changes Google has made with quality score
Don’t believe the naysayers, search still works
Will Yahoo! and Microsoft merge or partner to create a ‘balance’ to Google?
Google Product Search is a great ‘on-ramp’ to paid-search
Challenges
Search is very different than a marketplace or CSE
You have to generate keywords
A great e-commerce site with advanced merchandising and high conversion rates is a requirement to be able to compete successfully in the world of paid-search

CSE - Summary
Opportunities
Forrester – 55% of online shoppers influenced by CSE.
Economics still ‘work’, niche sites highly effective.
Next wave of innovation coming with CSE 2.0 – are you ready?
Google Product Search! Did I mention that it’s FREE?
In the US 34.5%+ consumers use a CSE
Amazon ProductAds are an interesting new entrant in this space
Challenges
Datafeeds are complicated.
CSEs require a pretty sophisticated e-commerce site with .merchandising to hit ROI targets.
ROI management is complex and requires datafeed manipulation.

Marketplaces

eBay is losing share in e-commerce
Q408 GMV was down 12% y/y (ex-vehicles)
Q109 GMV was down 20% y/y (ex-vehicles)
eBay Faces Substantial Challenges

eBay – Major Challenges
Both auction and fixed-price GMV accelerating their decline

Top eBay Seller Areas of Concern
Demand
DSRs
Number of ‘unintended consequences’ is large
Are Auctions in death spiral?
Is the consumer abandoning them or is eBay effectively killing the format with decreased BestMatch Exposure
Off-eBay advertising
Fees/costs
Search/BestMatch
Did I mention demand?

What are they doing to fix eBay?

Amazon – Taking Share
Q109:
Amazon: 21% (21% greater than e-commerce, 41% greater than eBay)
E-Commerce: 0%
eBay: -20%

Amazon – Why?
Prime Shipping
Seller Business

Amazon’s Seller Business

eBay vs. Amazon
What if the eBay/Amazon share change continues?

eBay Changes – June 15
Smart FAQ
Package Tracking
Multi-sku – Biggest seller change since Fixed-Price introduced – link
But not without complexity and some complex thinking…

Marketplaces - Summary
Opportunities
In face of eBay’s decline, you can take share on eBay if you are aggressive and early to the game with FP30, DSRs, RS.
Catch the Amazon wave and hang on.
New entrants like Buy.com give you an opportunity to establish a leadership role moving forward in your category.
Challenges
Marketplaces are only 25% of e-commerce, don’t over-focus here.
eBay is 13% of global e-commerce, but losing share.
Diversification can be complex if you’ve built your processes around a single-marketplace world.
Concerns over partnering with Amazon who is a retailer.
