Business OverviewOnline shopping is being redefined. Not only are voluble customers making their presence known across eCommerce sites, but these digital consumers are also viewing online shopping as an experience, rather than a mere act of transacting. Today, digital consumers rely heavily on multiple channels to research products, seek out information, and purchase goods and services.
As consumers embrace social media and social technologies, they expect their shopping experience to keep pace. Such participative shopping, where consumers can engage with and get opinions from their social circle, is a fulfilling experience that can motivate them to buy. It is imperative, now, more than ever, for companies to understand their consumers and engage them on their terms.
