Online shopping has become the norm, and some brands operate entirely from an eCommerce model. Despite this, eCommerce is still in its infancy, so brands are struggling with the basics, like sales, shipping, and traffic. What strategies can brands employ to stay ahead of the eCommerce game?
According to eCommerce specialist Amitai Sasson, shipping costs are rising, but packaging products in smaller boxes can reduce fees. He also recommends that brands with essential products utilize Shopify for third-party shipping to provide consumers with a seamless shopping and checkout experience. You must also understand your website traffic drivers by analyzing first-party data, available inventory, best-selling products, and ad spend. Additionally, integrating new technology into your website may increase your traffic and conversion rates.
