The pandemic has ensured that eCommerce, and eCommerce trends that will shape brand investments, will be the greatest priority for retailers in 2021. It is estimated by 2024, eCommerce revenues will grow to $6.54 trillion, up from $4.921 trillion in 2021, given that the consumer shift to shopping online is now a permanent one.
No two shoppers are the same. So why should they see the same site? 91% of consumers are more likely to shop with brands who provide relevant offers and recommendations, according to Accenture.

Did you know that Amazon has vowed to bring their carbon emissions to zero by 2040? Green consumerism is increasing, and customers are always on the lookout for products manufactured in an eco-friendly way, thus preserving the environment.
According to the latest research done by the Harvard Business Review, 65% of consumers are inclined towards purchasing products from purpose-driven brands that promote sustainability. The focus on green consumerism is a sharp sign that eCommerce brands will have to appeal to consumers by making sustainability a part of their DNA.
Social media has put the consumer at the forefront of retail and eCommerce. Brands can no longer dictate what the consumer wants— it is the consumer who dictates their preferences. Given this rise in individuality, it is no surprise that a study by Deloitte states that 36% of consumers covet customized products. What’s more, 1 in 5 of shoppers are okay with paying 20% more for owning a product which has been exclusively customized for them. And a whopping 48% of customers are even ready to prolong the wait time for a personalized product or service. Clearly, customization is king.
For instance, Nike has seen a great deal of success in the area of customization with Nike By You, which allows shoppers to create their own versions of classic Nike sneakers online.
Flexibility in payments will be a key differentiator for customer experience when it comes to eCommerce. Allowing customers the option to pay the way they want to— especially on mobile — will be essential to double down on customer retention.
As borders disappear and cross border commerce continues to grow exponentially, it is essential for retailers to make sure that their shoppers get an entire gamut of options with which they can pay for their purchase.
Upselling and product bundling are age old techniques to boost conversion — and with good reason. It’s one of the most effective ways to increase average order values and boost cart sizes. Upselling might be easier in a brick and mortar store where talented salespeople can gauge shopper tastes. It is a far greater challenge with eCommerce.
With VueX, retailers can create rich product pages with cross product recommendations that are personalized at an individual level! Merchandising at a scale is a breeze with this powerful, AI powered tool.
