Review

Book of the week: Marketing

"This book is a wake-up call to online retailers. More than just a set of checklists, McKeown attempts to create a framework for approaching the business of selling online.

Always exhorting the reader to look through the customer's eyes, the book sets out a series of exercises for teams to go through, creating a set of goals and deliverables for their site -all directed at generating better sales.

Online retail is getting better, but it's a hard slog and most practitioners are having to invent processes and strategies for themselves.

Even if you don't buy 100% into the framework the book sets out, there's a great deal of useful stuff here that will ultimately save readers time having to figure it out for themselves."

"McKeown is keenly aware of the small but significant characteristics of a website that help it stand out for the customer."

Start and Run your Business, April 2002



Product Description

How do you convert clicks to orders?


If you want to have online customers, then customers must want to have your online buying experience. So, what do you need to do to build a profitable, differentiated and world-beating customer experience online?

It's not enough to be on the web, and it’s not enough to build a great site – however functional or funky. You have to meet and exceed every expectation of the newly demanding, wired and wireless customer, and what’s more, you need to catch up now.

This is the science of selling online. In Why They Don’t Buy, online customer guru Max McKeown delivers a complete practical program for designing and building the ultimate online customer experience. Read this book and you will discover how to:
  • understand your powerful, new, evolved online customers
  • figure out the difficult stuff which customers want, and that you can give them
  • get a team together to deliver the desired end-to-end experience
  • keep it fresh and stay in business.

5.0 out of 5 stars End 2 End Framework!, 1 Mar 2002
By A Customer
The book is fantastic. It took a bit of perseverence at the start, but as I read . . I was convinced that the Author was totally clued up. The stuff in this book really works and is written in a really refreshing way.

There's a fantastic diagram at the back that describes the various layers of a successful online experience.

I would have found it useful to have the names of the layers on that diagram or at the start of the book.

Other than that this is the "THE" book if you want to build and manage a successful and complete online website.

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally a comprehensive concrete Framework to actually use!, 30 Nov 2001
By A Customer
I'm currently studying a business course that covers e-commerce frameworks. And hey Guess what!? Their doesn't seem to be any! Apart from this one!

The lecturers choose old tradtional theory with nothing changed for the new economy.

I simply don't buy it! (get the pun! : )When I researched to see if there were other Authors that covered everything from start to end, I was biterly dissappointed . . . some ok books by some white haired oldies . . but nothing comprehensive at all.

That's way this book was DIFFERENT! Now don't get me wrong the book incorporates all the old theory . . .but some how it's spiced up in a way that EXCITED me. It really made me want to get started on an online project.

Infact it's pretty much made my mind up that I want to get more inovolved with this side of things within my company.

The book also seems to teach a way of involving the whole organisation in a Harmonious effort, rather than handing it over to the IT department.

It's a BIG book, but I have used it as a Reference guide at first, fast-forwarded to the part of the customer experience that I was interested in.

Lasttly I've got to say It made me THINK . . . no BORING THINKING, but really COOL THINKING.

It's written with a lot of belief and passion. Good humour too..
