On Electronic Shoppers

Bill Bergh divides potential WEB customers into two types: Transactional and Relational.

Transactional shoppers are focused only on today's transaction. They have done their investigating, consider themselves an expert, and will deal with a supplier based on ability to negotiate and get the lowest price.

Relational shoppers don't enjoy comparison shopping or negotiation. They want to work with a supplier whom they trust. Consequently, relational shoppers usually become your repeat customers. Getting repeat business from relational shoppers just means good old fashioned customer service, support and being an expert in your niche.

Do you think that there are lots of similarities between doing business on- and off-line?

EXTRA: Anyone can do any amount of work, provided it isn’t the work he/she is supposed to be doing!
