Ecommerce Web Design: The Self Serving Bias

Standard

The very best way to make sure your ecommerce website fails is to ignore it. More and more people everyday endure the pain and heart ache of failed business plans. Nothing can possibly be as gut wrenching then seeing all your hopes and aspirations for a successful business be shot down in a blaze of hell fire.

What most people do not realize about ecommerce web design and really any type of business is that their success is attributed to their doing. But conversely their failure is directly due to their doing as well. That might be a little hard to believe but really think about it. Does it hold some truth? Of course it does. The thing about being human is that we like to believe that our success is because of our hard work and nothing else. On the other hand our failure is due to other external issues. No way could it our fault, right? Well unfortunately in most cases it is. This little tidbit of psychology is known as the self serving bias. We see it all over the world every day. We have just learned to ignore it.

The self serving bias is one of those things that can be typically stops once people are aware that it exists. Just like if you won the lottery you might say to your self that you deserve it for all the hardships you have endured. But if someone else wins you might say that that person is just lucky and they really don’t deserve that money. Good thing your ecommerce website is not going to be one of those things. Now that you know about the self serving bias we can all blame ourselves for our failures and you can blame yourself if your ecommerce website fails.

How do you avoid this failure you might be asking? Well that is simple; take care of your ecommerce website. Make sure you are keeping the information and pictures up to date. Make sure you are not showing available inventory for a product that you simply do not have anymore of. Make sure the pictures of your products look fantastic, even consider hiring a professional photographer. And above all else treat your ecommerce website like an investment needs to be treated. If your have a website that is a few years old get the site updated. The web changes every day and if your ecommerce website is behind the times your business will suffer.
