9. Venäläisten shoppailu ulkomaisissa tavaraverkkokaupoissa

Venäläisten shoppailu ulkomaisissa verkkokaupoissa (1/2) Tutkimuksella selvitetään venäläisten ostamista ulkomaisista tavaraverkkokaupoista. Tarkasteltavana on eri tuoteryhmien kiinnostavuus sekä se, millaisia maksamis-, jakelu- ja asiakaspalveluvaihtoehtoja venäläiset verkko-ostajat odottavat. Erityisesti tarkoituksena on tuottaa suomalaisille verkkokaupoille hyödyllistä informaatiota. Tutkimus kohdistettiin Pietarissa ja Moskovassa asuviin 18 65-vuotiaisiin netin käyttäjiin. Data Insight keräsi aineiston 10-12.12.2014 eli juuri ennen ruplan arvon romahdusta, joten arviot ulkomailta ostamisesta ovat todennäköisesti hieman myönteisempiä kuin asiaa nyt kysyttäessä saataisiin. Koko kyselyyn vastasi 1026 ulkomaisista verkkokaupoista tavaroita ostanutta venäläistä eli 43 % aktiivisista internetin käyttäjistä, joilta kaikilta (n=2448) kerättiin taustatiedot ja erityyppisten verkkokauppojen käyttäjäosuudet. Tutkimus suunniteltiin ja analysoitiin Postin Business Insightissa. Aktiivista venäläisistä verkon käyttäjistä 89 % on ostanut tavaroita venäläisistä verkkokaupoista, joten ulkomaisista verkkokaupoista ostaneiden osuus on alle puolet tästä eli 43 %. Ulkomaisista verkkokaupoista ostaminen on hieman yleisempää Pietarissa kuin Moskovassa. Ulkomaisista verkkokaupoista ostaminen on sitä tavallisempaa mitä nuorempaan ikäryhmään henkilö kuuluu. Venäläiset ostavat ulkomaisista verkkokaupoista erityisesti vaatteita, joita tilataan yhtä usein kotimaisista ja ulkomaisista verkkokaupoista. Toinen tärkeä tuoteryhmä on elektroniikka ja kodinkoneet, joita kuitenkin ostetaan kaikkein useimmin oman maan verkkokaupoista. Kaikkia muitakin tuoteryhmiä ostetaan selvästi useammin kotimaisista venäläisistä verkkokaupoista. Venäläisten ulkomaisissa verkko-ostoksissa korostuvat naisilla vaatteet ja kosmetiikka sekä miehillä puolestaan elektroniikka, harrastusvälineet ja autonosat. Sukupuolittaiset painopisteet vastaavat mm. suomalaisten verkko-ostamisen jakaumia. Vaatteita ostaa eniten nuorin ikäryhmä ja elektroniikkaa puolestaan vanhin ikäryhmä. Eniten käytetty ja suosituin verkko-ostosten kohdemaa on Kiina, josta yli kaksi kolmasosaa ulkomailta tavaroita tilanneista on ostanut. Selväksi kakkoseksi kohdemaista nousevat USA ja Kanada. Seuraavat merkittävät ostosmaat ovat Saksa ja Iso-Britannia. Lisäksi monia verkko-ostajia kiinnostaa tilaaminen sellaisista EU-maista, kuten Saksa, Iso-Britannia, Italia, Suomi ja Ranska. 41

Venäläisten shoppailu ulkomaisissa verkkokaupoissa (2/2) Ulkomaiset verkkokaupat löydetään tavallisimmin ystävän suosittelun perusteella tai etsimällä itse hakukoneilla Yandex.ru ja Google.com. Pääsyyt ulkomailta ostamiseen ovat mahdollisuus hankkia sellaisia tavaroita, joita ei myydä Venäjällä, sekä halvemmat hinnat. Verkkoshoppailijat toivovat nopeaa tavaroiden toimitusta, mutta ovat toisaalta valmiita odottamaan pitempäänkin, jos voivat siten säästää rahaa. Useimpien mielestä ulkomaisista kaupoista on yhtä helppo ostaa kuin venäläisistä. Lähes kahden kolmasosan mielestä tilaaminen englannin kielellä toimivista kaupoista on helppoa, minkä vastapainoksi runsas kolmannes ilmoittaa tilaavansa vain venäjän kielellä toimivista kaupoista. Palautusmahdollisuutta pidetään tärkeänä myös ulkomailta ostettaessa. Saksalaisiin kauppoihin luotetaan enemmän kuin suomalaisiin, mutta toisaalta lähes joka toinen ei osannut arvioida kummankaan maan kauppoja. Venäläisten verkkokauppojen huonoimmiksi piirteiksi koetaan valikoiman vähäinen yksilöllisyys, korkeat tuote- ja kuljetushinnat sekä pienet alennukset. Suomalaisten verkkokauppojen vahvuutena venäläisiin verrattuna ovat laadukkaat tuotteet ja yksilöllinen valikoima. Haasteeksi suomalaisille kaupoille kuitenkin muodostuvat tuote- ja kuljetushinnat sekä toimitusnopeus. Kokonaisuudessaan suomalaiset verkkokaupat arvioidaan venäläisiä selvästi paremmiksi kaikessa muussa paitsi kuljetusnopeudessa. Ostokokemukset ja myönteinen ennakkoasenne parantavat suomalaisten verkkokauppojen saamia arvioita entisestään. Suomalaisista verkkokaupoista halutaan ostaa erityisesti vaatteita niin aikuisille kuin lapsillekin sekä harrastusvälineitä. Suomalaisten kauppojen kaikki tuoteryhmät kiinnostavat erityisesti pietarilaisia. Aikuisten vaatteiden parasta ostajapotentiaalia ovat 45 54-vuotiaat naiset ja lastenvaatteiden puolestaan 25 44-vuotiaat naiset. Elektroniikka kiinnostaa erityisesti 25 34-vuotiaita miehiä ja autonosat 45 54- vuotiaita miehiä. Suomalaisten verkkokauppojen kehittämiskohteiksi venäläiset nimeävät hintojen alentamisen, markkinoinnin lisäämisen ja venäjänkieliset verkkosivut. Venäläiset maksavat ulkomaiset verkko-ostoksensa tavallisesti luottokorteilla. Visa, Master Card ja muut luottokortit ovat myös selvästi suosituin maksutapa. Suosituimmat toimitustavat ovat nouto Venäjän postista ja kuljetus kotiin tai työpaikalle. Pietarissa paketin hakeminen muun kuljetusyrityksen noutopisteestä on myös hyvin suosittua. Verkkokauppoihin pidetään mieluiten yhteyttä kirjoittamalla ja suosituin yhteydenpitokanava on sähköposti. 42
