Customer Reviews Trump Secure Browsing For eCommerce Trust

by Jack Loechner, Staff Writer
According to new research by GetApp by Rhian Davies, just a quarter of consumers indicated that secure browsing (including the presence of https) was most important to them when shopping online. Key findings:

• For 33.8% of consumers, customer reviews are the most important feature that makes them trust eCommerce stores when shopping online
• A quarter of consumers say that secure browsing is the most important trustworthy feature of an online store
• Almost 1 in 6 consumers favor a clean website design, layout, and navigation when assessing the trustworthiness of a website
• Only one in ten of consumers say that the ease of contacting a company is the most important factor that makes them trust shopping on a website
• Almost 15% of consumers value accurate and up-to-date content as the benchmark of a trustworthy online store

Most of us get statistics and data about our products and services and consumers. These examples can create a useful lead in where your customer or potential customer can find a way to relate to your services.

After you’ve found a way for them to relate, you probably are the top of the list to engage in their service fulfillment.
