Why you need a personal touch and why people choose to shop online?

The evolution of the Internet has accessed a genuinely global reach to customers in almost any field. The downside of this era is that people have lower attention spans. To get a chance of selling and to improve the efficiency of marketing, you have to get attention and inspire people to action.

One of the best ways to do this is through personalization. Give your customers a great personal experience, include their name in emails you sent them, or show specific promotions only to individual consumers when they visit a website.

Personalized e-mails improve click-through rates by 14 percent, and conversion rates by 10 percent. It’s studied, that e-mails with personalized subject lines have 26 percent higher unique open rates than non-personalized. Besides, a study of 650 multi-channel marketing campaigns revealed that personalized campaigns consistently and overwhelmingly beat out static campaigns in generating a high response rate from recipients.

Also, adding personalization experience to shopping could lift sales by 7.8 percent. Calls-to-action targeted to the user had a 42 percent higher view-to-submission rate than calls-to-action that were the same for all visitors.

 

There are many reasons why people choose to shop online. Most popular are – compulsive shopping, discreet purchasing, no pressure for decision making, transparency, no crowds, comparison of features, feedback and Review from fellow customers, better prices, many exclusive deals, and offers, product variety, secure payment options and many other.

Almost all in-house marketers agree that website personalization is critical to current and future success. Half of the digital marketers agree that “the ability to personalize content is fundamental to their online strategy.

Not only marketers but also half of the consumers like it when brands personalize messaging and offers. Also, almost half of consumers buy more from retailers who personalize the shopping experience across channels. And, consumers are okay with giving out personal information on a website as long as it’s for their benefit and being used in responsible ways. On the other hand, online consumers get frustrated with sites when content (e.g., offers, ads, promotions, etc.) appears that has nothing to do with their interests.

eCommerce solutions for different Industries

Business-To-business

B2B e-commerce is simply defined as e-commerce between companies. While B2C ecommerce gets the most media attention, B2B ecommerce is the bigger revenue generator. B2B websites become more like B2C. Online B2B sellers now understand that the customer experience in a B2B environment is just as important as for B2C.

Globally, by 2020 the B2B ecommerce market will be twice as large as the B2C market — $6.7 trillion vs. $3.2 trillion — according to research provider Frost & Sullivan.

One-to-many. In a direct model, companies have their own B2B online store, where customers can purchase goods.

Many-to-many. This Model involves companies joining an extensive online B2B marketplace. This can be a private market in which companies choose to form a closed network, or a public marketplace, which is open to all suppliers in a particular market.

Business-to-consumer

Business-to-consumer e-commerce, or commerce between companies and consumers. It involves information, physical goods, digital goods etc.

  • B2C e-commerce reduces transactions costs (particularly search costs) by increasing consumer access to information and allowing consumers to find the most competitive price for a product or service.

  • B2C e-commerce also reduces market entry barriers since the cost of putting up and maintaining a Web site is much cheaper than installing a “brick-and-mortar” structure for a firm.

Business-to-government is generally defined as commerce between companies and the public sector.

Mobile commerce

M-commerce (mobile commerce) is essentially shopping from mobile devices – the buying and selling of goods and services through wireless technology-i.e. handheld devices such as cellular telephones and personal digital assistants (PDAs).

Brick-and-mortar retailers should focus even more on online strategies. Consumer mindshare continues to be split across multiple devices. Marketers need to use both desktop and mobile marketing effectively to maximize their sales. Cross-device marketing is real and drives significant value for advertisers.

Mobile share has grown to 40% of eCommerce transactions globally and soon enough, if not already, will exceed Desktop sales.
