A new reality
An evident example of the new reality in retail shopping is that, according to a survey conducted by Krataion Consulting and GR.EC.A (Greek E-Commerce Association), 77% of consumers say they are shopping more online than in the pre-COVID era, while 16% of consumers made their first online purchase after the pandemic outbreak and have been doing so ever since, with 60% of consumers saying they will continue to shop online all product categories. Similar increases are also shown by Eurostat statistics, according to which 72% of Internet users shop online.
Some of the e-Commerce secrets
Achieving impressive results in e-Commerce requires a friendly and intuitive online shopping experience for your customers. There are dedicated solutions and practices for simplifying the consumers' browsing experience, from the product selection process to the final purchase, but also for how your e-shop identifies the right audience, suggesting product categories in which they are already interested or very likely to be interested.
Moreover, practices such as the regular updating of the photographs or even short video productions uploaded in the e-shop are particularly effective, as they attract more interest and increase the degree of trust that the user feels for your e-shop.
Business Social Media
In addition to the above, business social media accounts can also be used, not only because they are extensively used by large audiences, but also because it is very likely the place where consumers will encounter your products for the first time and form the first impression of them, and, by extension, of your e-shop. Therefore, through the posts and content you feature, you have the opportunity to make this encounter attractive and appropriate enough to drive users to your e-shop.
Finally, it is very important not to forget that modern consumers are now trained in personalized marketing, receive a plethora of messages every day and are usually more influenced by campaigns targeting exclusively their needs.
