Customer’s traditional Buying Behavior :Shopping online for furniture (43% still prefer to buy furniture in store in UK, Mintel 2013). Minimal interest on discussing Furniture : How do you make furniture something people want to talk about? Brand-watch points outs that customers use social media for reviews. But when you look specifically for conversations, it’s on corporate messaging being posted on news websites and forums. Also Mintel further supports this by claiming that even though 38% of customers read online reviews before buying a product in-store, It’s a challenge to encourage previous customers to post reviews on any forum.Increasing Logistics Demand : With the advent of new age logistic solutions including the Amazon Drones, Its evident that online shopping retailers consider Logistics as a challenge and a key differentiator. Its not important to have an efficient transactional website but also to meet the demand created by the operation of such a website.
