How to read the Emotional Footprint
The Net Emotional Footprint measures high-level user sentiment towards particular product offerings. It aggregates emotional response ratings for various dimensions of the vendor-client relationship and product effectiveness, creating a powerful indicator of overall user feeling toward the vendor and product.
While purchasing decisions shouldn't be based on emotion, it's valuable to know what kind of emotional response the vendor you're considering elicits from their users.

What differentiates BigCommerce from other similar products?
It has a more mature feel than Shopify and allows you to keep your rapport with your B2B or more mature customers.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
Super easy to set up, but infinitely customizable beyond that if you want to go down that route.
What do you dislike most about this product?
In addition to the recurring fees, they charge to get access to some analytics. I wish that came standard as part of the regular package.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
If you have a B2C startup, go with Shopify. If you sell B2B or want to appeal to a more industrial crowd, use BigCommerce.

What differentiates BigCommerce from other similar products?
I looked at a lot of different companies offering similar services and found many of them very confusing to use when doing a test trial of their interface. I was recommended to BigCommerce by a friend who already used their services an had similar needs for a webstore as I do. In using the trial, I found that they have lots of really helpful info files and many have great videos on how to use the various features on their site. This really made a difference in setting up my store and the questions I had about making the switch over for both the website and my email, they were very helpful.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
I find it quite easy to use, and has allowed me to create a website myself that I never thought was possible before. With the help of their videos and help pages, it did not take long for me to figure out the interface and have my website up and live. My customers are really loving the new website and find the checkout process much better then my previous web stores.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I will be honest in saying at this moment I can not think of anything I actually dislike about them, any problems or questions I have had, they have been great about helping with, and I have not had any issues running my webstore.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Like with anything I would say have a look around and see if they have the features that will suite YOUR needs. If you are unsure drop their support a message and they will get back to you with help as fast as possible. They have a fantastic trial you can do, that will allow you to use their interface and start setting up a new site. I really loved this as it gave me a chance to see if I could figure out the interface and to see how much I could change my websites looks. I was thrilled with what I was able to accomplish, so recommend doing the trial and seeing if its right for you.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Continually Improving Product
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
