International Journal of Electronic Customer Relationship Management (IJECRM), Vol. 1, No. 2, 2007

Abstract: Many Thai businesses have used websites to offer sales via the Internet. In reality, consumers have not flocked to Internet. A quantitative survey with data from 143 Thai website owners examined nine major success factors for business to consumer electronic commerce: government support, security and privacy, customer service, administrative support, online promotion, product uniqueness, logistics, product variety, and image creation. Analysis indicated that online promotion was the key factor contributing to the growth of online sales and the return on investment. The other factors were not significant predictors of these two performance measures.
