The world witnessed several eCommerce marketing trends last year, like shoppable posts, omnichannel support and contact delivery. Several of these trends made it to the year 2024 and capitalizing on them can assist eCommerce business owners maintain and increase their turnover.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Top Ecommerce Trends to follow in 2024<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following list will enable you to:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Identify successful trends\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep up with those trends<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid unsuccessful eCommerce strategies<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Analyze the effects of trends on your business<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Without further ado, let\u2019s begin.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>1. SMS Campaigns Bringing Better Returns than Email <\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A short message service (SMS) informs consumers about upcoming deals or other special offers of your store. It helps them keep track of shopping opportunities and the time to close the right deals. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some may question the effectiveness of text messages, but eCommerce marketers discovered that text messages convert <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6 times more than emails<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Due to direct reminders, instead of encrypted emails, SMS increases the odds of your customers seeing the message you send.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With the aforementioned facts, you should consider adding SMS to your business so you can reach out to more customers. This will keep them directly informed and continue to help you grow. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Customer Data Guiding eCommerce<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Legitimate customer data collection has become an unobjectionable source of information for eCommerce businesses. It imparts the knowledge of consumer interests and shopping behavior. This includes purchases, click rates on emails, cart abandonment rates, etc. To simplify, customer data lets businesses know how customers act and how they make purchases so that the business can make adjustments in their sales funnel accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After conducting an in-depth analysis on customer data, eCommerce brands can provide the desired deals and products to consumers. If you don\u2019t look at data, then you can\u2019t learn about your customers. Customer data will always be considered as important because of its effectiveness. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Customizable Products Riding the Personalization Wave<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consumers like options and to adjust things according to their needs. Providing a customizable service meets those needs while giving them more choices. While some businesses may worry about the extra costs of customizable products, those costs are justifiable considering the benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think of it like this: some people may not want everything in a product. Maybe you sell wrist watches and the customer likes the dial and strap of two different watches. With customization, the customer can put the different dial and strap into a single watch.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The main reason behind the popularity of customizable products is that people like choices. In comparison to an eCommerce website that restricts consumer choices, the ones that increase them leverage the benefit of providing options. Product customization is a tactic that enables you to provide more options at less costs. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Buy Now Pay Later (BNPL)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buy Now Pay Later is a payment option that gained immense popularity in the second half of the previous decade. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/litextension.com\/ecommerce-trends-2021-top-platforms.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to LitExtension<\/span><\/a> <strong><i>\u201cIn the plight of Covid-19 trauma, changing the way customers purchase products takes center stage in the conversion generating process. And, it looks like \u201cBuy now, pay later\u201d eCommerce is here to say.<\/i><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u201d<\/strong> It allows consumers with low cash reserves and high-credit scores to purchase their favorite items and pay at a later date when suitable. Klarna bank, Affirm and Afterpay are some financial institutions that widely support BNPL and have standardized it in the US.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to intelligence collected by eMarketer, more than 20% of US consumers used Buy Now Pay Later in the year 2020. The top benefits of using the BNPL are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It helps people avoid using credit cards<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is an interest-free payment option<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ensures a speedy checkout process<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Has easier terms and conditions than finance<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buy Now Pay Later is also useful for eCommerce businesses as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It increases conversions in sales<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reduces the cart abandonment rate<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Streamlines customer experience<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Builds brand loyalty<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To install a BNPL method on your eCommerce store, you are required to sign up with Klarna, Affirm or any other BNPL service provider. After signing up, you can add their API to your eCommerce store. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>5. Payment Options Attracting Customers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Along with Buy Now Pay Later, consumers are demanding various payment options. This could be due to the various benefits that banks and other financial institutions provide on their payment methods. However, for a business that provides a diverse range of products with some of them categorizing as quite \u201cexpensive,\u201d it is required for them to provide various payment options.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to payment options, the correct approach to handpick them for your store is to consider consumer preferences and their location. You should also think about different channels that customers may want to use to make payments.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do they want to buy it through their credit card or a PayPal account?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can we work with checks or any other physical payments?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What software can we use to handle different payment options?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you expand the payment options, you allow more people to make payment on your store.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>6. Subscription eCommerce Gaining Speed<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Monthly or yearly subscriptions remove the recurring payment process for consumers. They also eliminate the repetitive ordering process and visits to supermarts. Due to this reason, many eCommerce sites use subscription business models as a way to get guaranteed money from their customers while consistently providing them their services and products. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before creating a subscription package for your products, ask yourself the following questions:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can my customers afford a monthly subscription?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does my service provide that encourages people to pay monthly?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If I start a subscription model now, how will my customers react?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If all the answers rest in favor, integrate a subscription management module on your platform and ensure timely delivery of the products. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong>7. Visual Commerce Using AR Tools<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visual commerce facilitated growth in various aspects of the eCommerce industry, such as customer experience, customer support, product demos, marketing and more. With the help of Augmented Reality, consumers can preview a product virtually before purchasing it. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visual commerce using AR tools has been applied differently by the following businesses:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>1. Virtual Makeup Try-Ons by Sephora : <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The world-famous beauty products firm, Sephora, launched an augmented reality app that allowed consumers to try makeup virtually without even without purchasing.
