1. Leveraging social media as a selling platform
Instagram, Facebook and TikTok have all been powerful marketing and communication tools. Savvy Ecommerce retailers are taking it one step further by using them as sales channels that allow customers to complete purchases right in the app. If you’ve been lagging in building a strong social media presence, don’t wait any longer.
2. Offering same-day delivery
Same-day delivery is the new next-day delivery. Thanks to services such as DoorDash, Postmates and InstaCart, consumers have now become accustomed to receiving orders on demand. Streamline your logistics and do your research to make sure you partner with a trustworthy courier service.
3. Using artificial intelligence and machine learning to personalize the customer experience
Now that artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are here, there are virtually no limits to how effectively you can tailor the online purchasing experience. Use this cutting-edge technology to customize everything from product recommendations and marketing campaigns to customer service and chatbots.
4. Optimizing voice-activated shopping
Alexa and Siri have gone from fun novelties to dependable “assistants.” Experts predict a sharp increase in voice-activated shopping during 2024. Here are some helpful tips to optimize this tool in your Ecommerce business:
- Focus on natural and conversational voice patterns.
- Incorporate long-tail keywords coinciding with voice-search queries.
- Provide informative but concise answers.
