But customers are also savvy and possess more knowledge about products than ever before, some already know what they want and the kind of product that would prove to be a good gift. In this case, the decision has been already been made. But yet there are two online opportunities to consider:
How do I help customers make a decision they are happy with?
How do I guide them to reach that decision quickly?
