Abstract for my presentation:
As the growth of online commerce begins to slow, e-tailers are considering the trust barriers that keep potential customers from spending online. The fears that many e-consumers had a decade ago are still around. There are well-recognized ways to create credibility, and consumer research shows a few tried-and-true methods used by the wary to establish confidence in online purchasing. Finally, Web 2.0 features are expected to usher in a new era of e-consumer confidence and a boom in online spending.
