THE CONTEXT.

           Market leaders such as Amazon play an
           important role in shaping usage patterns that
           influence many e-commerce websites.

           This is special for e-commerce because for other
           genres there are no similarly influential players.

           We have labelled this effect „Amazonization“
           even though there are other influential shops, too.

COMMISSION-COMMERCE


           A new type of service companies offer brands a
           mostly commision-based setup and
           maintenance of their online-shop.

           Even though the underlying platforms such as
           Demandware offer full differentiation, this
           business-model can easily result in shops that
           place common practice before the brand they
           are representing.

AMAZONIZATION: ADVANTAGES.

           
          
           Familiarity to users

           
          
           Low responsibility of failure

           
          
           Temptation to skip testing

           
          
           Easy decision, „cheap“ development

AMAZONIZATION: CHALLENGES.

           
          
           Loss of differentiation

           
          
           Considering the long-tail: Risk of becoming 
           
          
           economically unviable

           
          
           Context: Amazon is NOT an average shop!

AMAZONISATION vs. DIFFERENTIATION.

           
          
           Patterns are good!

           
          
           Visual Design needs to differentiate

           
          
           Content Design is important

           
          
           But: Beware of the context!

THE CONTEXT.

           E-Commerce is global and has risen in relevance
           for companies. E-Commerce has global
           management attention.

           A high level of Standardization has become the
           most common approach to Web Globalization.

           Local variations in assortment and structure

           
          
           Languages / Room for text

GLOBALIZATION vs. LOCALIZATION.

           
          
           Global templates & platforms will last

           
          
           But: Competition for UX is local

           
          
           Modular concepts and design required

           
          
           Organisation and processes matter

GENERALIZATION vs. INDIVIDUALIZATION

THE CONTEXT.

           Amazon were one of the first and few companies
           to turn the late 90s Personalization hype into
           individualization features that actually offer
           benefit to the users and helped to drive sales.

           While Individualization remains a promising
           approach from a user perspective there are also
           valid reasons for retailers to offer an equalized
           shop.

INDIVIDUALIZATION: ADVANTAGES.

           
          
           Potentially relevant shopping suggestions

           
          
           Catering for usage preferences 

           
          
           Potentially better sales 

           
          
           Increased customer loyalty

INDIVIDUALIZATION: CHALLENGES.

           
          
           Good Individualization takes effort

           
          
           Bad Individualization is worse than none

           
          
           Strong brands want/need to guide users
           
          
           and provide orientation

EQUALIZATION vs. INDIVIDUALIZATION.

           
          
           Good Individualization remains difficult

           
          
           Individualization will benefit from
           
          
           m-commerce and social commerce.

           
          
           Focused shops or shops with 
 
 
 
           
          
           standardised goods and broad user base
           
          
           can best benefit from Individualization

                                  important that the brand

                                  and guiding way.
                                  Individualization might

SUMMARY.

           
          
           Standardisation and diversity are both
           
          
           valid and relevant aspects in E-Commerce

           
          
           E-Commerce teams are facing a
           
          
           balancing act for at least 3 of such aspects

           
          
           The ideal combination of all perspectives
           
          
           will vary for different business-models
           
          
           and features

  • 10. THE CONTEXT. Market leaders such as Amazon play an important role in shaping usage patterns that influence many e-commerce websites. This is special for e-commerce because for other genres there are no similarly influential players. We have labelled this effect „Amazonization“ even though there are other influential shops, too.

  • 14. COMMISSION-COMMERCE A new type of service companies offer brands a mostly commision-based setup and maintenance of their online-shop. Even though the underlying platforms such as Demandware offer full differentiation, this business-model can easily result in shops that place common practice before the brand they are representing.

  • 15. AMAZONIZATION: ADVANTAGES. Familiarity to users Low responsibility of failure Temptation to skip testing Easy decision, „cheap“ development

  • 25. THE CONTEXT. Amazon were one of the first and few companies to turn the late 90s Personalization hype into individualization features that actually offer benefit to the users and helped to drive sales. While Individualization remains a promising approach from a user perspective there are also valid reasons for retailers to offer an equalized shop.

  • 30. EQUALIZATION vs. INDIVIDUALIZATION. Good Individualization remains difficult Individualization will benefit from m-commerce and social commerce.
