With Wix, for example, you&#8217;ll need to integrate with a 3rd-party web accessibility plugin to create a fully <a href=\"https:\/\/accessibe.com\/integrations\/wix\">accessible Wix site<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, one of the hard truths about sleek new technology is that consumers will rarely even notice it is there &#8211; until it goes wrong.\u00a0 Instead, customers are focused on the ease of using sites, and each time the customer experience a higher standard, their expectations rise for all other brands.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes this experience comes in the form of the snazziest new technology: <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bigcommerce.com\/articles\/ecommerce\/virtual-reality-ecommerce\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VR in ecommerce<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is taking off, for example. But oftentimes, consumers are looking for a human connection &#8211; even if that connection is facilitated by technology.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Customers who believe that your brand offers the best customer experience are likely to remain loyal as well as recommend you to their friends.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One easy way to improve the customer experience is with the use of chatbots. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/ai-chatbot-transform-digital-marketing\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chatbots use AI<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to provide consumers with real-time answers to their queries. No need to wait for business hours, and it\u2019s more easily accessible than trawling through FAQs!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Personalization\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Personalization<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are many different ways that your eCommerce can be improved through personalization. Analyzing previous <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/ecommerce-customer-experience\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">eCommerce marketing strategy examples<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a great way of furthering customer engagement through proven practices. By tailoring the shopping experience to individual preferences and behavior, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.experro.com\/ecommerce-storefront\/\">ecommerce storefront<\/a> can enhance customer experience, and satisfaction and drive repeat purchases.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, promoting and leveraging user-generated content is good to help create a feeling of inclusion for those customers. It\u2019s cost-effective because it doesn\u2019t cost your business any money to make it. Most of the time, you can get this content with the promise of credit to the individual, which for some is enough. In this case, you can also use <a href=\"https:\/\/templatemela.com\/shopify-themes\">Shopify Themes<\/a> to give your eCommerce store personality and image.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Thinking locally is also important\u2014your eCommerce may be targeting certain geographic areas in question. As your platform grows, you can tailor your product pages to these places so that it\u2019s relatable content for those who are from there. This can be done by assessing your business data and utilizing SEO practices to target your audience correctly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Smart_Search\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smart Search<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Talking of tech, one of the most important features of any site is the humble search bar &#8211; so make sure yours is working for you!<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think about a time when you were searching for something specific &#8211; and were instead presented with a baffling array of irrelevant results. \u2018Silver 13\u201d laptop\u2019, for example, will often bring up results for silver laptop speakers, headphones, keyboards.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2910\" src=\"https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sad-kid.jpg\" alt=\"sad-kid\" width=\"512\" height=\"341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sad-kid.jpg 512w, https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/sad-kid-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/SS-r7BvCqTY\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image Source<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The idea behind smart searching is that it brings some humanity back into ecommerce. Remember we mentioned earlier that consumers are looking for a human connection, even online?<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rather than battling with a machine, smart searching enables customers to feel as if they\u2019re talking to a human representative. It works by taking the phrase typed in context, and working out what the searcher is actually looking for, rather than relying on keywords.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The above search, for example, is likely to yield better sales conversion rates if it produces results relating to actual laptops. Whether that\u2019s 13\u201d laptops in a different color or silver laptops in similar sizes is up to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Either way, the customer isn\u2019t left feeling frustrated and as if the company doesn\u2019t understand their needs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Convenience\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Convenience<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Convenience is\u00a0 one of the driving factors for ecommerce. Why trek to the shops when you can have something delivered almost instantly? It\u2019s that almost-instant delivery that has made Amazon a household name: Prime has made next-day or even same-day delivery the standard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Smaller businesses don\u2019t necessarily have to compete with that speed, though. They just need to remember that convenience is key to a great ecommerce customer experience and work out how to make a users\u2019 visit seamless.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider how many users visit the same site across multiple devices. If you ensure that a user\u2019s cart is synched across multiple platforms, you\u2019re much more likely to get a sale, even hours later. It\u2019s much more convenient than if a customer has to re-find and reconsider all potential purchases! To provide positive customer experience companies that provide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eshipper.com\/shipping-services\/\">shipping services<\/a> should prioritize convenience for their buyers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly, reminder messages help to bring the potential purchase back to the forefront of the customer\u2019s mind. An <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/text-message-automation\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">automated text message<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or quick email to let them know you\u2019re holding the item in their cart for a specific time period can create a sense of urgency. You could make use of cart abandonment software and send out a discount if someone is on the fence about a purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2911\" src=\"https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/unnamed.png\" alt=\"landing-page\" width=\"236\" height=\"499\" srcset=\"https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/unnamed.png 242w, https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/unnamed-142x300.png 142w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 236px) 100vw, 236px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/abandoned-cart-email\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image Source<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping your audience and their needs in mind is as critical as convenience itself, which takes us neatly onto our next point &#8211; feedback.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Friendly_Feedback\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Friendly Feedback\u00a0<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One cornerstone in any customer experience policy has to be feedback. This can come in many forms. You could opt for surveys on which emails your customers prefer because you\u2019re trying to develop the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/us\/en\/blog\/email-marketing-examples\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">best email marketing campaigns<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for your audience. Maybe you use social channels to get feedback on the brand\u2019s tone of voice.\u00a0 You could even host an onsite pop-up asking what your customers would like to see in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you feel like you\u2019re struggling compared with competitors, focus on finding out why customers choose you, and what they think you\u2019re missing. For instance, if you provide <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ringcentral.com\/us\/en\/blog\/alternatives-to-outlook\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">alternatives to Outlook<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, it can be worth asking if there\u2019s any features Outlook has that you don\u2019t. Feedback isn\u2019t just about improving yourself in relation to your past, but also in relation to the wider market.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It helps to be transparent &#8211; let your customers know that you\u2019re implementing changes based on previous feedback. This way, they\u2019ll know that you\u2019re open to suggestions, and feel more comfortable coming forwards with ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Data_Privacy_Transparency\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data Privacy &amp; Transparency<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With business\u2019 reliance on technology only increasing, it is of paramount importance that consumers trust the businesses that they are dealing with.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, whilst businesses themselves think that their practices in areas like data protection are getting more secure, consumers don\u2019t seem to believe them. In fact, in PwC\u2019s 2020 survey, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwc.com\/us\/en\/services\/consulting\/library\/consumer-intelligence-series\/trusted-tech.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">36%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of people said that they were less comfortable handing over data than they had been two years previously.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2912\" src=\"https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/see-saw-stats.png\" alt=\"see-saw-stats\" width=\"512\" height=\"252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/see-saw-stats.png 512w, https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/see-saw-stats-300x148.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwc.com\/us\/en\/services\/consulting\/library\/consumer-intelligence-series\/trusted-tech.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image Source<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everyday transparency should include having a clear, easy-to-read (and find!) data policy, detailing how the company uses customer information.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This also extends to operations issues like <a href=\"https:\/\/amzprep.com\/shipping-delays\/\">shipping delays<\/a>. Consumers are more forgiving when you let them know there\u2019s an issue, and keep them informed about how and when it will be resolved.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Earlier, we mentioned the importance of creating a human connection with your customers: transparency can help with that. Letting people know that there are real people behind the scenes, ones who understand their concerns, is a great way to get customers to trust your company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It can be as easy as sharing why the founder started the company, or some silly photos of employees packaging up products.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Transparency should extend to all mishaps, no matter how severe. To consumers, data and security breaches appear almost inevitable. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwc.com\/us\/en\/services\/consulting\/library\/consumer-intelligence-series\/trusted-tech.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">60%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of those surveyed expect companies they interact with to experience some form of data breach. 34% say they have already experienced one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What seems to matter most, though, is how companies deal with these breaches: it\u2019s all about transparency and communication.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you do suffer a data breach, your best bet is to inform your customers as soon as you know it has happened. Spell out exactly how it might affect them, and if they should take any further measures. As the situation unfolds, keep customers updated on what is happening throughout the process, and how you are addressing it. Additionally, including clear and concise details about how you will use customers&#8217; data, will not only showcase ethical data handling but also ensure compliance with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.osano.com\/articles\/data-subject-access-requests-guide\">data subject access requests<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The message here is clear: security is important, but it\u2019s how brands react that truly sticks in customers\u2019 minds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2913\" src=\"https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/consumer-data-breach.png\" alt=\"consumer-data-breach\" width=\"358\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/consumer-data-breach.png 358w, https:\/\/botsify.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/consumer-data-breach-210x300.png 210w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 358px) 100vw, 358px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwc.com\/us\/en\/services\/consulting\/library\/consumer-intelligence-series\/trusted-tech.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image Source<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Ideal_Ecommerce_Customer_Experience\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ideal Ecommerce Customer Experience<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A good ecommerce customer experience should be ever-changing, and it\u2019s certainly worth keeping an eye on new <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">customer experience trends<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that pop up.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consumers are focused, now more than ever, on brands that can deliver what they need with efficiency and convenience.
