Editor's Notes

  • #25 For example, User Interface Engineering tested how online shoppers bought hiking boots from the REI and L.L. Bean sites. The firm found that although the boots were nearly identical, REI easily outsold its competitor. The difference: REI featured a photo that showed the sole of the hiking boot, while L.L. Bean did not. "This example shows that you have to know what the customer wants," Spool said. "It's crucial to know how they're shopping at your site and what they want."
