  2. Today’s customers have short attention spans and a generally cynical nature. There are simply too many things competing for their time and money for them to cut you any slack. If you doubt this, monitor your own behavior when it comes to browsing the web and evaluating products. If you’re honest with yourself, you’ll learn lots of interesting things about how/why customers buy. Just put yourself in the shoes of the customer. The power of empathy is amazing and will teach you a lot. If you were a random visitor to your own website, what would you think? And, if a website did all or most of the things above – would you be more likely to try or buy?
