When online shopping, what immediately turns you off from ordering on a website? (Prompt courtesy https://thecoffeemonsterzco.com/en-ca/blogs/midnight-blogging/journaling-prompts)
Just this morning I got a promotional Black Friday email from Vistaprint. Since I was trapped on the couch trying to hold still so that the five year old next to me would sleep longer because 5:30 am is way too early for him to be up, I decided sure, I’ll create my Christmas photo cards. Kill two birds with one stone, he sleeps in a bit and I’ll have ordered the yearly Christmas cards.
So I choose my design and start scrolling through the 18 000 photos on my phone, trying to choose the best 3 for the front of the card. I shocked myself by completing that in just minutes.
Okay, but now the back of the card. More options. One picture, 3 pictures, 5 pictures. I think to myself, who can get enough of Sid’s sweet adorable face, I’ll adorn the back with 3 more photos.
I picked the first one then decided nope, don’t like that and hit the “back” button. Guess what happened? The whole bloody work of art was wiped out, the card blank. FML.
I quit. Ain’t nobody got time for that. So not user friendly.
And my other pet peeve with online shopping is when there’s no Paypal option and they actually expect me to get off the couch and fetch my Visa from my purse to purchase something. Not happening.
