E-commerce companies are busy with Christmas this time of year. So busy that they might forget to think about features their site needs in 2010. Retailers should be adopting product videos into their overall e-commerce strategy. Check out this Forrester report excerpt that talks about retailers adoption of online video:
Sixty-eight percent of the top 50 Internet retailers use video content on their Web sites, compared with 18% in 2008. Online retailers are committed to making product videos central to their merchandising and marketing strategies because of the positive return on investment (ROI) that this visual feature generates. While only 16% of online buyers watch product videos on retailer Web sites, 64% of those consumers who do have found these videos to be very useful. Retailers should focus on understanding drivers of consumer usage and find appropriate contextual uses for product videos by integrating them into the overall eCommerce experience.
