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.

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 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.

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.

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.

There’s a shift happening in the digital world. Even though email marketing is considered to be the mainstay medium to communicate with shoppers in e-commerce, gradually, it’s being replaced by messaging apps. One of the reasons for this shift is conversational commerce. Messaging apps allow two-way communication enabling brands to personalize their services and build relationships with their customers.

'Anyone who owns or runs an eCommerce site, whether large or small, knows the importance of customer feedback. Equally well-known is the difficulty involved in generating quality customer feedback.
As the saying goes, “For every customer who bothers to complain, 20 other customers remain silent.”
Unless the experience is really bad, customers usually don’t bother to share feedback about an experience that didn’t meet their expectations. Instead, they decide never to do business with the service provider again. That’s a high price to pay for lost feedback.
In this article, we’ll look at some very effective ways of getting quality (and consistent) customer feedback.'
