On one of my sites, registration allows you to track your orders more easily. You can login to see if the order has been filled or shipped. Sure, you could do that other ways.

If you are going to require them to register then there needs to be some value add e.g. non-registered users can view the site but can not participate in the interactive parts. ++++++++++ Kevin Parker Web Services Consultant WorkCover Corporation p: 08 8233 2548 m: 0418 806 166 e: [EMAIL PROTECTED] w: www.workcover.com ++++++++++ -----Original Message----- From: Will Tomlinson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, 15 March 2005 7:15 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: E-commerce - Make them register or don't make them register Ok guys, I just read in my Internet Retailer about how teen shoppers do NOT want to register before shopping online. This plays right into my plan on the Volleyball site as teen shoppers *are* my target audience. My client and myself did not want to force them to register. Some argue that they have to enter all that info anyway when actually making the purchase so what's the big deal? Also, that registration info comes in handy in many different ways. What's everyone's opinion on the matter?
