“Hedrick says the shopping cart, part of the Nexternal Solutions e-commerce platform the site switched to last year from its initial Yahoo storefront, improves on the site's earlier cart by staying in shoppers' view throughout the checkout process. In addition, consumers now can enter coupon codes they receive via marketing e-mails and social networks to immediately display the total discounted cost in the cart, rather than waiting until the end of the process to see the final total.

We went from e-commerce being responsible for about 30% of the organization's retail revenue last year to 40% this year," Hedrick says. "We attribute a lot of that to the fact that we are not seeing as much shopping cart abandonment." Monthly web sales for the company range from $300,000 to $500,000, depending on promotional activity, she says.”
