worst client is the one who’s unsatisfied with the purchase, doesn’t complain but won’t go shopping in that store again.

that can now choose to receive unsatisfied clients comments in real time, with the order number. This way, it is possible to
immediately detect the eventual problem and act in order to solve it and retain the client, converting an unsatisfied
customer into a loyal one. Find out more information concerning this e-bit innovation by sending an e-mail to
negocios@ebit.com.br.

The year of 2010 began at full throttle for Brazilian e-commerce. The first six months are gone but left good numbers to the
industry. The financial volume during this period represented R$ 6.7 billion, a 40% growth compared with the same period of
2009, when revenues reached R$ 4.8 billions. These numbers show us that in 2010, e-commerce is wealthy and still surpassing
expectations.
Revenues R$ 6,7 billion
Average Spending R$ 379
% of grow compared with the same period of 2009 40%
A consequence of this is that the number of e-consumers reached 20 million people who made at least one online purchase.
In the middle of last year there were 17.6 million users. This also contributed to the high volume of orders made in those first
six months: 17.8 million.

Observing the main reasons for the industry’s growth, the results are not surprising. Unshaken by the global crisis that
affected the economy from late 2008 to mid 2009, the electronic commerce has been strengthened, especially by the return of
consumer access to credit and more confidence in buying online. Factors such as the entry of new players, consolidation and
mergers between large retailers helped to boost confidence in this channel, bringing new consumers to e-shopping and
increasing the industry numbers.

One of the most striking features of e-commerce is the power that the industry shows in festive periods such as Mother's Day
and Valentine's Day. In 2010, these two dates represented R$ 1.24 billion in revenues for e-commerce that means 18% of the
total revenues for the first six months!

Mother's Day, indeed, is the second most important seasonal date for e-commerce, Christmas is first. We should remember
that in 2010 the World Cup also raised the share of categories such as "Electronics", especially TV's.

22nd edition

Since last year, e-commerce has undergone changes in the ranking of categories. In June 2009, for example, the category
Appliances supplanted books, magazines and newspapers subscriptions, and ranked first, driven mainly by taxes reduction
for this segment, which lasted from mid-April 2009 to January 2010.
About best selling categories
But the excellent performance in appliance sales didn’t stop there. The category came from 4th to 2nd in the first two
quarters, with 14% of orders compared with 15% of books, magazines and newspapers subscriptions. The top five list was
completed with Health, Cosmetics & Medication, Computers and Electronics.
Another striking feature of the first two quarters of 2010 was the average ticket growth: R$379. During the same period last
year, it was R$ 323, an increase of 17%. The reason for this is the regularity in the sales of products with higher value
during 2010.

Social Networks
E-commerce and Social Media
One of the world’s biggest trends in recent years are the social networks. Initially used to meet people, get in touch with
friends, and be connected to a large network of relationships, these virtual places are starting to be seen also as a great
opportunity to do business online.
According to a study conducted by e-bit in the 2nd quarter of 2010, using data collected in the checkout process of virtual
stores, 55% of e-consumers who made a purchase over the Internet influenced by a social network are women, which
indicate a greater propensity of this audience in being seduced by offers or recommendations made on social websites. In
general, this share is exactly 50% men, 50% women.
Social networks have become not only an effective channel to find online stores, but an opportunity to show brands and
products to e-consumers and Internet users who are about to make their first online purchase.

Social Networks
Differences among e-consumers
If we separate the profile of users who have been influenced by social networks in their purchases, with the e-consumers
coming from other sources (comparison shopping, banners, search engines, etc.), it is possible to observe some
differences. Buyers from social networks are on average seven years younger than other buyers: 34 years vs. 41
27% of the respondents motivated by social networks are between 35 and 49 years old, compared with 39% of consumers
on the Internet in general. For consumers between 18 and 24 years, we have respectively 21% vs. 8%.
Because they are younger and many aren’t working yet, e-consumers influenced by social networks have in average 10%
less income than e-consumers in general.
The study also shows that 65% of Internet users who bought online influenced by social networks are light users (low
frequency of purchase), while 35% are heavy users (high frequency of purchase). This difference can be explained by the
lower average age, as mentioned before, of users that came from social networks.

Social Networks
What social network users buy online?
Analyzing the preferred categories of the consumers influenced by social networks, Apparel comes in first place, with 20%
of transaction share. This category represents 4% of total sales in e-commerce. Parallel to this, e-consumers motivated by
other sources bought more expensive products such as Appliances, for example, that represents a 14% share of the total e-
commerce revenue. For this reason, their average ticket is higher than the R$ 269 of the consumers influenced by social
media.
According to data from eMarketer*, collected during the first quarter of 2010, users who spend more time on Facebook also
spend more money online shopping than Internet users who spend less time on Facebook, with an average ticket around
US$ 67. Users who reported using Twitter with frequency, spend more money per purchase than those who use Twitter less
frequently: US$ 75 vs. US$ 63 respectively.

PART III
Online Shopping Resistance
Survey

22nd edition
20
The growth of the Brazilian e-commerce is related mainly to the good work of online stores in converting their offers into sales.
The goal of every online retailer is to make their client reach the final checkout page of the process. When this process is not
completed, it is very important to comprehend why the customer abandoned the shopping cart and made the changes to solve
the problems that caused it.
Keeping this in view, e-bit prepared for this WebShoppers edition, a special study about online shopping resistance, to
understand why e-consumers do not finalize an online purchase. The period of data collection was from 07/14/2010 to
07/16/2010 when 5,600 responses were collected.
According to data collected in the survey, 90% of respondents said they visited an online store during the past week but decided
not to buy anything, sign that people who really bought , probably visited other stores before making a final decision.
E-consumers who visited online stores and didn’t buy any item, 62% responded they were just checking price, freight or total
order cost, and looking for promotions and discounts. Another relevant fact is that 86% of respondents said they only took a
look at some items and then left the store, without starting the buying process. 7% said they had already started the process,
but ended up abandoning the site while another 7% have added some products to shopping cart, and then left the store.

Analyzing why consumers who were closer to completing the purchase (added the product to shopping cart and began the
process of finalizing the purchase) but have not, it seems that the main reasons were the shipping price, indecision about which
product to purchase or the total price being higher than expected.
On the other side, an important result of the study is that the price is not the main reason for those users who only looked at
some products and then left the store. For them, “no intention to buy that day" was the reason for the abandonment.
One other interesting point is that 40% of respondents visit the online stores where they choose not to buy, weekly, while 9%
said they had entered the virtual store for the first time.

The party is not over yet!
The Brazilian e-commerce numbers in 2010 has increased higher than expected, but may be even better. All this because,
historically, the last two quarters of the year are usually more relevant and may represent up to 55% of total sales of the year.
It’s expected during the period between July 1st and December 31st, that online retailers reach R$ 7.6 billion in sales of
consumer goods (not including vehicles and online auction).
Thus, the total revenue of R$ 14.3 billion is expected for this year, which represent growth of 35% compared with 2009 revenue,
when Brazilian e-commerce reached R$ 10.6 billion. These numbers overcome the initial forecast of R$ 13.6 billion made by e-
bit for the 21st edition of WebShoppers in March 2010.

In the second quarter of the year, the World Cup was a strong factor of influence for e-consumers, whom chose to spend on
products with higher costs, such as flat screen TV's. To have an idea, the sales of televisions in the country grew by 75% in the
first two quarters of this year, compared with the same period last year. This number was released in July by the National
Association of Manufacturers of Electronic Products (ELETROS).
However, as it depends on the e-consumer purchases, it will remain increasing for last two quarters. Also because this period is
marked by three special dates for the retail: Father's Day (25/07 to 08/07), Children's Day (09/27 to 10/11) and Christmas (11/15
to 12/24). By the way, Christmas is the most important date for e-commerce: contributing with R$ 1.63 billion in 2009.
More people buying!
In 2010, the number of people who made at least one purchase on the Internet should increase considerably, 23 million e-
consumers are expected by the end of the year. At the end of 2009, e-bit had registered 17.6 million online buyers. This number
becomes even greater if compared with the 2006 World Cup period. To have an idea during the World Cup in Germany four
years ago, only 6 million people were shopping online.
