We all know how important it is to be  considerate  of what people want… especially when buying presents… …look what can happen when we ’re not!

What they don’t do ,[object Object]
How PRWD helped ,[object Object],[object Object]
“ It’s good information and a quick way of finding things. I like it” Mega menus make browsing easy “ Product grouping is good, and there's not too much of it, it's all there, not needing to scroll.  I prefer to click and go to another page than scroll so this is good”
“ If I'm looking for something that I've never owned before, I love it if there are customer reviews” “ I like them, its better to hear off someone who's already got one rather than the person who's selling it” “ Customer reviews are good, if people are boring enough to write them , I wouldn't. I would definitely read for expensive items” Users love rating & reviews
“ I do expect to see videos now - they have them with clothes now.  I wouldn't have expected it in the past but you see it a lot more so for a new website I'd definitely expect it and do find it really helpful” “ I like the video, it's giving me information that isn't in the description” Video demonstrations help the user
“ Free postage over £50 is a good thing, it would make me buy more just to not pay the postage” “ Free delivery is a big plus, even if it's incorporated within the price – I’m happy for it to be incorporated into the price” Cost of delivery can be a deal breaker
