Unique Ideas > Stimulate Impulse Purchases
Whether customers like it or not, the Internet is proving to be the ultimate venue for inducing impulse purchases. Much of this can be attributed to marketers taking advantage of improvements in technologies that: 1) allow a website to offer product suggestions based on customer?s online buying behavior, and 2) streamline the online purchasing process.
But online impulse purchasing also takes advantage of the "purchase now, pay later" attitude common in an overspending credit card society. How this plays out over time as many customers become overwhelmed with debt will need to be watched and could impact online marketer's activities.
