If there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s that customer experience is the fundamental driving force behind eCommerce as we know it. Gartner predicted that by this year, more than 50% of organisations would implement significant business model changes in a bid to improve their overall customer experience. So clearly we’re not just talking about the importance of having a picture-perfect online store here. Not even close. Because, in reality there isn’t a single aspect of the eCommerce journey where customer experience isn’t important. From website navigation to the checkout process, to shipping and logistics, to returns – there’s an opportunity at every step of the process to provide your customers with a positive experience or a negative one.

As businesses owners, our tendency is to think of business in terms of quantity. After all, we’re programmed to think that more is better: more customers through your door means more sales, and more sales means bigger profit for you.
But in reality, not every single person who goes through your door actually goes out having bought something. On the other hand, you can always rely on loyal customers to always spend their money on you. They’re 50% likelier to try new products and 31% likelier to spend more than new customers.
The moral of the story is simple: at the end of the day, it’s wiser to focus your efforts into retaining customers than acquiring new ones because doing so saves you money and creates profitable brand loyalty.

The eCommerce industry has experienced a tremendous amount of growth in the past decade. 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.

Expresso Fashion and Claudia Sträter are two well-known Dutch fashion brands with stores in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. Alongside their more traditional, brick-and-mortar shops, these labels are also sold online. This omni-channel strategy makes it possible for these two webshops to not only serve as sales channels but also platforms for inspiration. Visitors can get their inspiration online and then choose to do their shopping in the webshop or in-store. In other words, their online services are critical to the success of both on- and offline channels.

The online customer journey in retail is going through a major transformation. Consumers are not only (increasingly) picking up their mobile phones to shop online, but they’re also looking for a more interactive experience with the brand, accompanied by a smooth purchasing process. This is a shift that many suspect will demand more from online retailers, especially in the realm of customer experience. One way of achieving the much sought after sound customer experience is online feedback.

Everyone knows diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but what many don’t know is that artificial intelligence will soon become every brand’s best friend – especially in today’s digitized world of ecommerce, where personalization and website optimization can make or break online retail revenue. It’s no secret that the future of retail lies in ecommerce. Forrester has predicted that online sales will reach $523 billion by 2020 in the U.S. And, according to a joint survey conducted by Square and Big Commerce, 67% of millennials and 56% of Gen X-ers prefer to search and purchase on ecommerce sites rather than in-store. With these statistics on hand, and the glaring reality of expensive brick-and-mortar stores shutting down by the dozens, brands are beginning to leverage AI-backed solutions to help them win in the ecommerce game.
