How experiential e-commerce virtualises the in-store experience<\/p>\n
How experiential e-commerce boosts consumer confidence<\/p>\n
One of the major benefits to experiential e-commerce is that is improves buyer confidence. The typical online shopping experience relies on product images or, if you\u2019re lucky, a video that provides a closer look at the product\u2019s uses or features. These are useful, but they don\u2019t answer all the questions customers might have about the item. <\/span><\/p>\n Experiential e-commerce is a customer-centric strategy that strengthens the bond between the brand and consumer through a virtualised shopping experience.<\/p>\n Deliver personalisation and relevance wit contextual triggers<\/p>\n A strength of e-commerce that can\u2019t be understated is its use of personalisation: based on interests, defined needs or previous shopping history, consumers can quickly find the exact product that they need on a website, in a n app or even to collect in-store.<\/p>\n And as explored above, experiential e-commerce opens opportunities to take personalisation and contextual shopping to the next level – even taking some fo the more iconic features of brick-and0mortar retail and making them better online. <\/span><\/p>\n Third-party marketplaces make experiential e-commerce accessible and scalable<\/p>\n 3D experiences<\/b><\/p>\n These features are some of the latest in support of long-term New Retail strategies that build on customers\u2019 desire for highly personalised and intuitive shopping experiences. Supported natively by some of the most popular channels in China, experiential e-commerce has become much more accessible for businesses.<\/p>\n New Retail Thrives on a Unified Commerce model<\/p>\n One way for brands to better connect with consumers anywhere and everywhere is to take a more unified approach to online and offline commerce, giving touchpoint equal weight in your strategy, while also optimising the seamless and omnichannel customer decision journey with a performance-driven mindset. Succeeding with this strategy is key to suing experiential e-commerce as a creative differentiator, offering an experience that\u2019s not only convenient, but engages customers in new, value-added ways.<\/p>\n
