Interesting, from the search engines lowest conversion shows Google, except adwords campaign of course…
Why Maxima doesn’t start “shopping online”?
Everywhere I lived there was always someone who allowed you to buy food and stuff online bringing it at home even for free if you spend more than a certain amount.
People would be 100% sure to receive home the worst food Maxima keeps in it’s warehouses.
And the same would be with hi-tech stuff and wathever else.
Lithuanians want to check every single detail before buying and online it is not possible.
I guess that’s because quality of shops but especially of people working in shops is terrible.
“Tikrai sviezia” you read everywhere and when you see what they are selling you can just run away.
If people trust you people buy from you.
Obviously this is just my humble opinion.
Anyway.. nice blog
