Ecommerce Trends You Can’t Ignore
- Jul 5, 2018
Ecommerce business models of all types are flourishing. Sales from online stores are estimated to increase up to 78% by 2020. It’s easy to get caught up and excited in the latest ecommerce trends.
Faster Shipping and Logistics
Reconsider transportation methods and routes. Changing the approach of shipments will probably pay off. Moreover, improve end-to-end visibility. No doubt, that relatively low-priced, cloud-based technology now permits you to have near real-time awareness of when shipments will arrive, so you can review its progress or respond quickly to delays that put customers off.
Improved Integration of AI and Machine Learning
Machine learning has already been combined into many ecommerce systems. Not only can you save time by automating tasks, you can also use machine learning to make better decisions and convert more customers.
A vivid increase in the applications of these demanding technologies, allowing ecommerce retailers to offer customers exactly what they want in short time with minimum effort.
Voice Search
These days, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to talk about mobile without mentioning the voice search. Twenty percent of Google searches on mobile are voice. In 2018, voice is one of the leading drivers of innovation in the ecommerce space – and not just on mobile. Today the best example of a voice commerce example is to ask Alexa to place an order to be shipped from Amazon.
Easier checkout
One-click purchasing will make online shopping faster and more convenient. A good idea is to make an option when a visitor can buy a product without registration. As an example, Shopify Pay simplifies the checkout process across any stores that run on Shopify, reducing the number of fields a customer has to fill out from 16 down to just two. Speed up your purchasing process with a buy now button.
It’s never been easier for smaller companies to get into e-commerce and reap many benefits. So, take a look at your business plan and think what techniques and approaches you can implement into you e-commerce.
