Marketing Trends in the E-commerce Fashion Industry

Marketing Trends in the E-commerce Fashion Industry

Auteur n°2 – Jonathan

Fashion eCommerce firms continually change the way they do business. Changing markets geographically and economically, new technology, and the specter of profitability affect the fashion industry. Adapting to these changes is essential to business success.

That’s why we offer future strategies you should consider implementing if you own an e-commerce business in the fashion industry.

Don’t forget the privacy 

Customers’ experiences with brands need to be customized and personalized. Using technology based on people’s buying habits is one approach to do this. Based on a person’s prior purchases, provide offers and suggestions.

Additionally, provide technical options that allow someone to see how they might seem in other outfits, like augmented reality. The technology uses a person’s picture and layers their choices onto it to offer them a realistic representation of how the items will appear on them. It functions like a virtual dressing room.

You can only personalize things a little, though. You lack time to create customizable designs and don’t want to violate people’s privacy with the data you gather, either.

Sustainability

Compared to what they were ten years ago, consumers are much more aware of their carbon footprints and the effects of climate change, and fast fashion has come under fire for using production techniques that pollute the environment with chemicals.

Around the world, 42% of customers choose environmentally friendly products. Showing what sustainable activities they engage in can help fashion businesses appeal to this sizable portion of their audience.

Enter the Metaverse

The metaverse is a virtual reality environment where virtual, digital worlds are present. In the metaverse, things are sold as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) using cryptocurrencies.

NFTs are special sections of code that are exclusive. They may be entirely customized to a person’s preferences and likes. And the only place they can be found is online. 

Over the next ten years, luxury fashion stores might profit more than $50 billion US from the metaverse. Additionally, there may be a ton of opportunities for fashion stores and companies to sell to younger demographics like Gen Z, which is pushing the impact of digital fashion.

Social media platforms

Social commerce is poised to revolutionize how people buy online because of how simple it is for users to transition from exploration to purchase in fantastic shoppable content experiences. By 2026, it is expected that brands using social media will generate $2.9 trillion in sales.

In addition to working with influencers, athleisure businesses’ content marketing strategies have prioritized video content. For gaining a following and developing a company recognized by the internet health and fitness community, reels, training videos, or brand tales are essential.

Across all sectors, video content will develop and expand, creating new markets like Livestream shopping, which fashion companies and retailers are starting to make use of to increase their consumer bases.

Live shopping is a fun and engaging experience that increases site traffic without spending more on advertising speeds up the consumer journey from discovery to purchase and improves the reputation of fashion retailers.

Additionally, the two-way, interactive contact that an online retail channel enables between a brand and a customer raises the levels of video content engagement dramatically. It significantly increases the value of a digital shopping experience.

Livestream shopping, also known as live commerce, is the newest innovation in the digital fashion industry and is expected to account for 10–20% of worldwide eCommerce business by 2026.

Conclusion 

The fashion eCommerce sector has seen an incredible amount of change over the past two years, and the rise of online shopping has changed how consumers find clothes.

The way customers want to buy has changed, and fashion companies have had to change with it. The advent of digital fashion and other trends are starting to take off this year, in 2022, and are creating new channels for fashion shops.

The eCommerce Fashion industry has been compelled to develop stronger brand identities and concentrate on offering individualized multichannel shopping experiences due to rising advertising expenses and the overwhelming quantity of options consumers have when shopping online.

Fashion eCommerce brands will need to adapt to the rising number of consumers who desire sustainable and ethical fashion.

Why should you use a Wishlist for your E-commerce?

Why should you use a Wishlist for your E-commerce?

Auteur n°4 – Mariami

What is a wishlist?

A wishlist is a tool that allows buyers to make personalized lists of liked products before buying them. In the Wishlist, customers can save products for future purchases. It is like window shopping but for the internet. other than it improves customer experience, Wishlists also collect users’ interests without effort.

Why do people use wishlists?

In the modern world, especially among younger generations, love for online shopping is high. They browse and scroll for hours, looking at different products, saving them for later when they have enough money or for an appropriate occasion; that is why customers love wishlists. 

Studies show that the rate of shopping cart abandonment is 69,23%. It has various reasons, for instance, high extra costs, like sipping, or tax, complicated check-out process, insufficient payment methods, disliked policies, and so on. Sometimes because of these reasons, people think of saving their items and returning to buy them when these conditions change. 

What benefits can E-commerce get from Wishlist?

The first asset is that it improves users’ shopping experience on your Website. The opportunity to save items for later is essential in online shopping. Wishlists reduce browsing time. 

Besides the wishlists being convenient for customers, it is also beneficial for retailers. As an E-commerce company, use the Wishlist’s full potential. It has various benefits to offer: 

  • Provide customers’ thoughts and insights

Start with customers’ insights. It’s true that one person’s Wishlist is too specific and can not change much. But when you put together all your users’ interests, you can see trends and follow up, track the results of campaigns, and analyze which items are immediately purchased. All this information helps you plan your next steps. 

{CTA_BANNER_BLOG_POST}

  • Create a buyer persona

To reach your target audience effectively, you should have a picture of who is your ideal buyer. This is a user persona, and a wishlist helps you create it. With the information of what buyers like, save for later, and buy instantly, you can imagine what kind of person is interacting with your business and what is their tastes, interests, and desires. With all these facts, you can connect with your customers deeper. 

  • Helps with out-of-stock items

Another problem is that E-commerce companies often have out-of-stock items, which causes a loss of customers. Again, the Wishlist can help you solve this. You can offer your user to save the product in a wishlist and remind them with an in-app notification or email them when the item is back in stock.

  • Way to announce sales 

People sometimes save items on wishlists because they are waiting for sales. So by keeping this information, remind them when you have a deal on the specific product and pull the customer back to the purchase stage.  

  •  You can do tailor marketing

The digital world is full of advertisements; people receive promotional emails every day, social media is full of ads, and customers are tired of boring notifications. Tailor marketing is a way to avoid being one of the ignored messages. By using a wishlist and tracking your buyers’ interests, you can provide content tailored to your customers. 

How to make an outstanding wishlist?

To make your Wishlist more interesting, you should add features other than the ability to save items. For example, allow users to name their wishlists or make several different ones. 

Make it a positive experience for the customer to use the Wishlist. Use Pinterest examples. Wishlists shouldn’t be just “lists of groceries.” Allow your users to make their mood boards. 

Share buttons are very convenient, so don’t forget to include them. Make it possible for your customers to tell their friends and family about your brand quickly. Word-of-mouth marketing still is one of the most successful strategies and boosts conversion rates instantly.

Conclusion

Wishlist features are considerable tools, especially for e-commerce businesses. It gives you all the opportunities we discussed, for example, after adding a wishlist to a customer’s site. So don’t think much, because your competitors are adding it to their Website.

Google Shopping List for your E-Commerce Strategies

Google Shopping List for your E-Commerce Strategies

Auteur n°9 – Lina

Google Shopping Basics

Promotion of your digital and physical services and products is becoming easier with Google Shopping. Basically a Google Shopping tool helps you as a marketer to increase your product’s search volume. As a customer you get instant view at the updated pricing and it becomes easier to look for a particular product of your choice. This search technology gives you a chance to put your products out there for a wider spectrum.

Google Shopping for E-Commerce

Basically, the E-Commerce companies are most likely to benefit from this search tool. The companies can feature their products on the platform and show them to potential customers. Also, it is more likely to target a buyer persona that is interested in your product for sure-because a customer can edit their choices via pricing, location and other categories. For now, as an E-commerce company you can use this tool at almost no-cost.

Update your Product Information

Just like with any other content, it’s important to be consistent about your product information. The Google Shopping tool allows you to update your product information-such as discounts or the amount in stock. You can also highlight certain product details relatively to search results. Figure out-what is the aspect which lures in most of your customers and emphasize it.

{CTA_BANNER_BLOG_POST}

Google Shopping Benefits

As an E-Commerce company you can greatly benefit from the google shopping tool. Here are several examples of how you can achieve increased online sales via this search engine:

  • Setting Up a Merchant Center acc.: With Google Merchant Center you can promote your production and manage your Google listing easily. If you also decide on paid advertisement, keep in mind, that Google Shopping can help you achieve the borderline audience as a bonus.
  • Effective Promotion.: Just as we’ve mentioned in a previous option-with Google Shopping you have a greater chance to strategically promote your listings. All you need to do is to choose the product for promotion. Very likely-the one which is most searched by your target audience and likely to spark interest for additional listing as well. Solidify the details of your product for SEO friendliness and submit your promotion on Google Shopping. After all the steps-you’re good to go!

Google Listing Advertisement

E-Commerce companies can greatly benefit from these advertisements both-for Sales and for SEO rankings. For your digital marketing-create a Google Shopping campaign. Google Listing ads are more likely to reach the qualified customer base. They are not no-cost compared to simply using Google Shopping tool, but still-it’s a campaign after all.

Also, keep in mind, that your products will be shown to the targeted audience according to the product description-not the keywords. Google Shopping ads can show up side by side-so, the better you describe your listings, the higher chance there is for increase of online presence.

All in one Space

We know how comfortable it is for the customer to purchase directly from one page-without conducting extra actions and pressing extra buttons. A good feature Google Shopping has is-that a buyer can purchase goods directly from Google. This increases the possibility of calling the customer to quick action without double or triple thinking the decision of purchasing.

And, keep in mind, that among all tech Brands-Google takes place first as the most trusted one. So, it is very convenient to entrust online sales to such platform.

How Re-Purposing Your Categories Can Help Your E-Commerce Website Perform Better?

How Re-Purposing Your Categories Can Help Your E-Commerce Website Perform Better?

Auteur n°4 – Mariami

Categories Matter

Clearly, time after time we tend to add all those different products to our E-Commerce websites and seem to have almost no time to re-categorize them or create the specific ones for the given products. Now, take some time for organizing your digital space and let’s discuss several benefits concerning your online-shopping experience.

Don’t Make a category Too General

One of the biggest mistakes the E-Commerce websites are making-is creating one universal category that seems to contain a lot of stuff and ends up being simply confusing for the customer. To avoid such confusions let’s discuss the example of good categorizing.

The Best Product for such example is none other, but shoes! This is something we all need, want and take our time to pick the right one.

Now, let’s say we have entered your online shop that generally sells clothing and shoes. We find the category and now we scroll down to other sub-categories. The best option would be to add seasonal sub-options which leaves us with a smaller list.

{CTA_BANNER_BLOG_POST}

Consider we’ve chosen winter shoes. Now, we can add the sub category of boots-which can be also ankle-high/knee high. Basic stuff is covered and all we need now is size and color.

You can surely add assets like brands, high heel or low heel, combat boots, insulated boots etc. That’s something that is more of an asset rather then a category, but the ones mentioned above are the basics you’d rather cover.

Update Customers On The News

Once you’ve received a new collection it’s important to let your customers know. Only setting up a banner post on your first landing page won’t do, because it is most likely to become an annoying experience to go back to this page every time you want to check new stuff.

Make sure to add the new arrivals category with specific sub-categories we have discussed in the previous paragraph. This is time-saving for you and a nice reminder for a customer no matter on which landing page they are roaming through.

Add The Sales Category

We are all excited to get something on the sale, especially when it’s a Black Friday right? Adding such category is functional not only for customers’ comfort, but also for your effective sales of the goods that you have very few left of. No matter the percentage of sales, even if it’s 20% only, it will serve great to just check out the goods when you’re low on budget instead of roaming through numerous pages just treasure hunting wishing you had a map that simply leads to it.

Follow The Trend

Following trends is crucial in almost all fields. In one of our previous articles we’ve spoken about using artificial intelligence in order to research customer trends. AI will simply define for you; what type of products seem to be checked out the most in a certain time-period. You might have a certain clothing for example, that is very trendy right now, so don’t forget to inform users on what’s trending currently to keep them updated.

Preferences During Subscription

Now, through time we surely get a change of taste, yet there are some things we simply love and would never exchange. Like so called mom-jeans or free-style hoodies.

Make sure to give your customer a chance to choose preferable categories in the process of subscription to your online shop. This will help your algorithm to aid individual customers in suggestion panel development and just offer what they want to see in the first place.

How To Create A Powerful E-Commerce Website That Actually Sells?

How To Create A Powerful E-Commerce Website That Actually Sells?

Auteur n°2 – Jonathan

Modern E-Commerce

Shopping has changed its form completely over the years. At the beginning, when E-Commerce introduced itself to a global community it was a little bit suspicious even to the potential customers.

But, now E-Commerce seems to overpower the traditional form in multiple ways. It’s a great comfort to be able to shop anywhere any time. But, as an E-Commerce shop representative you must offer high quality service to stay competitive in the growing industry. Let’s discuss how you can actually do this.

E-Commerce and Order Tracking

One of the best features E-Commerce website can have is the order tracking. We have all used online shops at least once in our lives and the most exciting part is the actual wait for the arrival.

Now, it gets pretty annoying if it’s getting delayed, but still-it’s simply good to know where it is. If you still don’t have this feature on your website, make sure to add one. Keep in mind, that it will also save you from answering hundreds of messages and emails regarding the given subject.

{CTA_BANNER_BLOG_POST}

HQ Photography And 3D Examples

Not every shop clearly has the luxury of creating 3D models of their products for a better showcase. But, HQ visual content is what you must have. Especially if it’s a clothing line-make sure to have models wear them and get photographed in all basic positions like: front, back, side and ¾. Focus on better presenting of your product.

QR Code/Linked Payment

Even though the security of credit card credentials is truly on its highest level, some of us still are not very fond of entrusting our CC card information on a website.

For such specific cases, make sure to integrate the service of payment via QR code or external link that is focused on the transfer of the money itself and does not require remembering the card credentials.

This makes it easier to finish up orders especially for social media commerce like Instagram shops for example. With low risks involved, a customer will be happier to purchase your products online.

Enable Text Support In Reviews

Textual reviews can be scary sometimes, thinking of what the customer might say, sometime out of thin air and quite inadequate occasionally. Well, it’s clearly better to have an explanation why someone decided to give you a one-star rate.

If it’s reasonable or not is up to the perception of another customer scrolling through those reviews. All you have to do is to stay in touch with disappointed customers and show that you actually care. Simultaneously you’ll be happy to read positive reviews and especially if they have detailed insight on the quality of the product and speed of its delivery.

Go Global-Market Only Grows

Whether you like it or not, E-Commerce is very likely to go outside your location. Possibly-that’s the challenging aspect about it. Make sure you research the shipping regulations to different countries from your local post-office as well.

If something is on internet, even when optimized and advertised only on a specific area, you cannot stop different audiences from viewing your product-related content.

Marketing copies ought to be made easier as well, because it’s well known-Google automatically translates certain pages. If the content is complicated the translating robot can mess it up and result you in losing a potential customer.
