The ecommerce industry has experienced a tremendous amount of growth in the past decade. Having jumped from 3.5% of all retail sales in 2008 to nearly 11.9% in 2018, this growth – in combination with a (still) relatively low market share – represents a huge opportunity for more innovative ecommerce companies looking to overtake their traditional counterparts.
However, in order to latch on to the ‘growth train’, these same ecommerce companies (and therefore, ecommerce managers) are going to have to put their best foot forward. In other words, they’ll need to be sure that they are providing a first-rate online customer experience. And the best way to do this is to start listening to the voice of the customer. After all, your customers can be your best resource in terms of understanding what you’re doing wrong (or right!) on your website or mobile app. So allow me to introduce you to online feedback…

Despite the emergence of exciting new tools like virtual reality and artificial intelligence, sometimes it’s important to go back to basics.
Improving your retail strategy could be as simple as connecting more closely with consumers and using technology more efficiently.
That’s the takeaway message from the inaugural State of Technology in Retail report, released on Tuesday morning by the product decision platform MakerSights.
The survey found that for 43 percent of retail respondents, understanding customer preferences is still their biggest challenge when bringing new product to market, beating out inventory management and retail pricing. Forty-one percent also reported that acquiring and retaining customers was the most pressing challenge in retail as a whole.

When it comes to the retail customer experience, creating and developing a seamless CX isn't just a focal point for the big brand names and national retailers. It's also a must for the smaller and mid-size retailer.
Yet oftentimes the SMB retail operator doesn't have a tremendous budget or internal resources to take on the crucial CX effort and it can sometimes fall into the cracks within the day-to-day operations of running a small retail shop.
But as one expert shares, that doesn't have to be the scenario as developing a rewarding retail customer experience doesn't necessarily equate to spending thousands, hiring on staff or contracting out for services.
One of the best, and quickest, approaches is understanding that a customer experience does not end once the purchase transaction has ended, according to Pam Slim, author, consultant and small business expert.

It can be hard to pinpoint your target market, especially if you don't know their specific attributes or buying habits. This three-step process can help you get smarter about customer targeting.
Pinpointing your target market can be tricky. You may have a general sense of the customers you’d like to attract, but may not have given much thought to the specific attributes or buying habits they possess.

If you’re considering a new approach and want to get smarter about customer targeting, I recommend following the three-step process below.
