Abstract

Online sales for companies have become indispensable to reach the global market's consumers. To facilitate the purchasing process, however, it's essential to design websites taking attention to all those aspects that contribute to determining their quality and ability to meet the needs of both the e-commerce and the end-user. In particular, when we refer to kids’ products sale, personalized e-commerce services are necessary, bearing in mind the role of emotions on customers’ behaviour and the particular attention that parents pay to products quality. The paper aims to understand behaviours and buying habits’ changes of parents and adults in general, with a particular focus on the processes of choice, purchase and post-sale concerning online sales platforms for children's products. The research reports an analysis of 16 major online retail platforms currently existing globally, divided between child-specific and generic, evaluating aspects related to on-line Customer Journey and User Experience (UX).
