Moreover, available decision support systems can help people to make wise decisions among overwhelming information. A successful online retailer¡ªASOS is chosen as an example of how consumers¡¯ decision making can be supported through the online arena. As a suggestion, trust building and maintaining, brand loyalty building as well as recommendation agent are key points of online retailers¡¯ development in future. Furthermore, introduction of customer design system is the key contribution of this paper and detailed illustration of that is stated in suggestions and conclusion.
