> Personalization
Personalization of customer interaction has become an integral part of selling. This trend has positioned itself as a staple in e-commerce businesses as it can improve the customer experience. However, there are many ways to take advantage of personalization in cross-channel sales.
> omnichannel sales
It's time to embrace multi-channel selling. Why? Consumers have been buying from different online sellers including Amazon, brand store, eBay, mom-and-pop stores and Facebook. This trend is inevitable as eCommerce businesses are destined to grow and with growth comes the need to integrate inventory.
> Social shopping
Platforms like Instagram and Facebook have been equipped with “buy buttons”, which allow retailers to sell through them. Online stores have also been establishing links with social media platforms, allowing customers to make purchases through them. Exposure to social media results in more people learning about a product or service.
It is necessary that you can dump your inventory to platforms like Facebook Shops and connect it with Instagram to enable the Instagram Product tagging function (very valuable to tag your products so that people can buy). Without a doubt, one of the most important e-Commerce trends for 2021 and that is already available in Colombia.
