Shopping online has long been a consumer reality for most of us. Just like in bricks-and-mortar shops or supermarkets, we shop with a wide variety of needs and motives.
However, most online shops do not address these sufficiently. This also applies to big players such as Zalando, H&M and Amazon. Most e-commerce providers are far from realising their full potential in terms of shop design, and their shop concepts are only weakly differentiated - both from one another and from their own offline brands.
This is one of the key findings of our study alongside the motives of online shoppers. We clarify what their motives are and how they differ in the fashion, drugstore, toy and food product categories. In addition, specific shops such as Zalando, dm and Amazon are examined and analysed in these four categories.
