Adobe Scene7 2010 Survey: Customer Experience in the New Decade 2
3. Executive Summary
We are pleased to present the results of the Adobe Scene7 2010 Customer Experience in the New Decade Survey.
The objectives of this survey were to identify and analyze what businesses plan to do in 2010 to enhance online
customer experience and drive conversions. Leading companies from all industries worldwide were asked what
rich media/merchandising, social media-based, mobile, and personalization features they use or plan to use,
along with their expected or actual effectiveness, and timeframes to deploy these features.
The Adobe Scene7 quantitative survey received 546 responses worldwide. The top six industries for respondents
represent almost 60% of the total, among these are agencies (advertising/interactive), computer
hardware/services/software, media, and retail. Agencies were the highest to respond worldwide, representing
about 18% of total respondents. A slightly higher number of respondents from North America were from the
retail sector, while EMEA was higher by 2X in retail, and Asia-Pacific had a heavy response in Transportation
Services (25%) with retail only representing 2%.
A conscious effort was made this year to expand responses into Asia-Pacific. Compared with last year,
participation from respondents in the Asia-Pacific region significantly increased from 4% to 31% with Japan
representing 96% of these responses. Similar to last year’s survey, the annual company sales show more than half
of the respondents with less than $10MM (60%) and nearly a quarter greater than $100MM (23%).
Highlights from the survey include the most popular deployed features and their effectiveness, as well as business
investments planned to drive conversions and enhance user experience over the next 12 months. Analysis of how
much deployed tactics have impacted respondents’ conversions is also covered.
Looking across all customer experience tactics and regions surveyed, social media-based features are the top
deployed tactics going in to 2010, while both rich media/merchandising and social media-based features are the
top planned for 2010. Importantly, the top most effective tactics are also in the rich media/merchandising and
social aspects with multi-media viewing or product tours (combinations of videos, zoom imagery, spin or
animation) ranking as the number one most effective feature followed by visual search, user ratings, search
landing pages, product comparison and zoom. Mobile and personalization continue to be the least deployed
tactics (less than 10% by all respondents), yet have the highest planned growth rates.
Across the different continents, North America and EMEA both share the same deployment levels of rich media/
merchandising tactics; however, North America clearly leads the pack in deployed social media tactics.
Asia-Pacific ranks significantly lower in both deployed and planned rich media/merchandising and social
media-based tactics but is only slightly behind other countries in the areas of mobile and personalization. The
specifics across category results are as follows:
• The top five features deployed across all customer experience tactics are more heavily rooted in the social
media-based category compared with last year. These include, branded social community pages, e.g.,
Facebook, MySpace, Twitter (33%), blogs (32%), audio (26%), RSS (25%), and dynamic displays, e.g., banner,
carousel, tabbed, grid views (25%).
• The top planned features for 2010 fall into the areas of social media-based and rich media/merchandising;
and similar to last year’s findings, blogs and interactive catalogs are among the top five planned features. This
year, however, more personalization features top the list of planned tactics, including personalization by ZIP/
Geo and personlization engines. Also, videos for merchandising, advertising, and demonstration are

4. rising in importance this year, and are now in the top five planned features for 2010. Compared with last year,
respondents are planning to invest more in the areas of personalization and mobile over the next 12 months.
• More than one-third of all respondents cite the most effective tactic across all features this year to be product
tours or multi-media viewing which combines guided spin, zoom imagery, videos or animations with copy
(36%). The other leading most effective tactics are visual filtering & advanced search on product features
(size, color, price) (33%), user comments and reviews (32%), search landing pages (32%), product
comparisons (28%), and zoom (28%). Compared with last year, product tours displaced zoom as the top
ranked most effective feature. (Interesting to note: this result reinforces the findings in another study
conducted this year entitled, “Adobe Scene7 Viewer Study: What Shoppers Want”—the first Adobe Scene7
survey addressing online shoppers’ interest in visual merchandising. This consumer-facing, quantitative
study identified and analyzed eCommerce shopping features on the product page most useful for shoppers
making an online purchase. The multi-media enabled viewer that incorporates all visual, rich details of the
product with click-driven alternative views, interactive full-screen zoom, color options, video sets,
360-degree spin with zoom on every angle was the preferred experience across all participants.)
Other effective features remaining in the top five ranking for two years running include, user
rating/rankings/comments, search landing pages, and visual filtering.
This year, respondents were asked how much deployed tactics have impacted their conversions; and
interestingly, personalization features rank the highest in conversion impact at over 50%, whereas mobile
features rank the highest in no conversion impact. All categories on average fall into the 11%-20% range of
conversion impact, with rich media/merchandising features having the overall highest impact.
The survey results show 75% of all respondents will be conducting customer experience projects within the
coming year. Compared with last year, these projects have shifted to the latter half of 2010 and beyond.
A detailed summary of these results follows, in addition to a list of the top deployed, planned, and most effective
tactics by category, region, as well as specifically by retail and manufacturing industries.

5. Methodology and Participants
The Adobe Scene7 2010 Customer Experience in the New Decade Survey was conducted from November 9, 2009
to January 15, 2010. The key objectives of the survey were to identify and analyze what online businesses plan to
do in the next year to enhance their customer experience and drive conversions. The results were compiled based
on responses from 546 companies representing a broad cross-section of product categories and selling channels.
The following analysis includes data for the combined worldwide response. Separate results for North America,
EMEA and Asia-Pacific can be found in the appendix.
Primary Industries
The top six industries for respondents represent almost 60% of the total, among these are agencies
(advertising/interactive), computer hardware/services/software, media, and retail. Agencies were the highest to
respond worldwide, representing about 18% of total respondents. A slightly higher number of respondents from
North America were from the retail sector, while EMEA was higher by 2X in retail, and Asia-Pacific had a heavy
response in transportation services (25%) with retail only representing 2%.

6. Annual Sales
Similar to last year’s survey, the annual company sales show more than half of the respondents with less than
$10MM (60%) and greater than $100MM (23%). Of note, Asia-Pacific has more representation from enterprise
companies, with more than 20% citing revenues of $100MM or higher. Compared with last year, the small busi-
ness responses grew slightly, representing more than three-quarters of the responses (78%), while enterprises
with more than $100MM decreased to 17% (versus 22% last year).

About one-quarter of all respondents have deployed a variety of top-ranking features, including audio, anima-
tion, dynamic displays (banner, carousel, tabbed, grid views), search landing pages, and interactive catalogs &
brochures. These are followed closely by videos for merchandising, advertising & demos, alternative images,
quick looks, zoom, and color swatching/colorizing.

comparisons, and alternative imagery.
Compared with last year, videos have risen in investment importance to the number two rank from the number
five rank. A quarter of respondents plan to deploy videos this year, along with product tours or multi-media
viewing, which also has increased in rank to number four versus last year’s ranking at 10. 360-degree spin has
fallen in priority, likely due to the more immersive product tour feature.

10. Social Media-Based Features & Effectiveness
Which social media-based features do you currently use or plan to offer over the next year? What is the actual or
expected effectiveness?
This year’s survey further expanded on social media-based features to identify the most popular features either
deployed or planned for the coming year, along with the effectiveness of each feature.

Top Deployed
Almost one-third of all respondents have deployed branded social community pages (e.g., Facebook, MySpace,
Twitter) and blogs. This is followed by RSS feeds, user comments and reviews, user ratings & ranking, live chat,
and syndicated content. Comparing these results with last year’s, the top six deployed features remain the same,
except this year branded social community pages were included for the first time, which is the number one de-
ployed social tactic (33%).
In North America, branded social community pages are deployed at a significantly higher rate (46%) than other
social media tactics; user comments & reviews (30%) and user ratings & rankings (22%) are also more widely de-
ployed than in other regions. By contrast in Asia-Pacific, these social features are significantly less deployed, i.e.,
branded social pages at 12%, RSS at 13%, and blogs at 22%.
Top deployed ratings:
• Branded social community pages (e.g., Facebook, MySpace, Twitter): 33%

and rankings. Compared with last year, RSS has fallen out of the top planned features, most likely due to higher
deployment last year. Also, product sharing on social sites and user-generated visual content has risen in impor-
tance for this year’s planned investments.
Top planned ratings:
• Blogs or micro-blogs: 26%
• Branded social community pages (e.g., Facebook, MySpace, Twitter): 24%
• User comments and reviews: 24%

delivery status, and mobile advertising now rank as top deployed features. Mobile commerce penetration
continues to be in the single digits (5%).
Mobile features are slightly more deployed in EMEA, e.g., check delivery status at 15%, and GPS mapping at
15%. Interestingly, deployment of these features in Asia-Pacific is comparable to worldwide ratings with mobile
commerce having a slightly higher deployment than worldwide (8% in Asia-Pacific versus 5% worldwide).

Top Planned
Overall, the top five features for 2010 fall into the areas of social media-based and rich media/merchandising;
and similar to last year’s findings, blogs and interactive catalogs are among the top five planned features. This
year, however, more personalization features top the list of planned tactics, including personalization by ZIP/Geo
and personlization engines. Also, videos for merchandising, advertising, and demonstration have risen in
importance this year, and are now in the top five planned features for 2010.
Compared with last year, the tactics with the biggest change in planned features focus on personalization and
mobile areas, including:
• Personalization by ZIP code/geo-targeted sites: +50%
• Address book integration for mobile: +50%
• Mobile/Price check/Store to Web: +29%
• Mobile/GPS mapping/Store locator: +16%
• Personalization engine (behavioral targeting): +14%

Top Very Effective
Survey respondents who have either deployed or plan to deploy the following features gave them the highest
ratings for “very effective.” The most effective tactics across all features this year—rated very effective by
approximately one-third of all respondents—are:
• Product tours or multi-media viewing (combinations guided spin, zoom imagery, videos or animations with
copy): 36%
• Visual filtering & advanced search on product features (size, color, price): 33%
• User comments and reviews: 32%
• Search landing pages: 32%
• Product comparisons: 28%
• Zoom: 28%
Compared with last year, product tours displaced zoom as the top ranked most effective feature. (Interesting
to note: this result reinforces the findings in another study conducted this year entitled, “Adobe Scene7 Viewer
Study: What Shoppers Want”—the first Adobe Scene7 survey addressing online shoppers’ interest in visual
merchandising. This consumer-facing, quantitative study identified and analyzed eCommerce shopping features
on the product page most useful for shoppers making an online purchase. The multi-media enabled viewer that
incorporated all visual, rich details of the product with click-driven alternative views, interactive full-screen
zoom, color options, video sets, 360-degree spin with zoom on every angle was the preferred experience across
all participants.)
