The majority of shoppers (63%) will abandon shopping carts after a maximum of two purchase attempts
Applause , a world leader in testing and digital quality, announced the results of its fifth annual global survey on holiday shopping trends.

They are also becoming increasingly intolerant of poor purchasing experiences, prioritizing seamless checkout, ease-of-use and convenience.
“If one thing is clear from this year’s survey, it’s that continuing financial pressures mean consumers are less tolerant than ever of poor checkout experiences.

The holiday season is a critical time for small to midsize businesses (SMBs), as sales during this period often make up a large portion of their yearly revenue. Yet, many SMBs don’t devote extra hours or resources to preparing for the surge in holiday demand, and that lack of attention to seasonal preparations is holding them back.
According to one of our most recent surveys, 70 percent of SMBs don’t dedicate additional time to getting their websites ready for the holidays. This likely contributes to the fact that only 10 percent of their overall site traffic comes during the holiday season. With holiday shoppers increasingly buying online every year, this lack of preparation is a gap SMBs can’t afford. Fortunately, artificial intelligence (AI) tools offer an accessible way for small businesses to compete during this important season without a huge time or resource investment.
