Fashion Digital Marketing Agency. Are you sure, your eCommerce website structure isn’t costing you customers? Surprising though it may seem, but it only takes about 50 milliseconds for the users to form an opinion as to whether they like your website or not. Simply; whether they will stay or bounce off. Although it is commonly said that “don’t judge a book by its cover’’, yet the eCommerce websites are constrained to an absurd level of snap judgments that fosters the perception of credibility.

For a shopper, not much thought is given to walking into a brick-and-mortar store, finding the right product quickly and easily, and checking out with no hassle. Behind the scenes, however, is a completely different story. For brands and retailers, especially in the consumer packaged goods space, the exact opposite is true. A lot of thought goes into the shopper experience, and how they can find exactly what they’re looking for (or what you want them to look for).

It’s always essential to gather as much feedback as possible before you launch a crowdfunding campaign. This will help you plan your campaign well and give you enough time to work on those loopholes. But when it comes to receiving feedback, there’s a void in getting access to the correct channel for your campaign. It could be social media, emails or just word-of-mouth marketing.

Much of the media coverage over the past ten days or so, following the inevitable but slow demise of both Debenhams and Topshop stores, is the most recent reminder of an unusual social phenomenon (but which has surfaced on regular occasions over the past couple of decades).

Most shopper marketers would agree that they strive to create effective activity. Yet what do we mean by effective? Often the measure of effectiveness will be ‘did it grow my sales?’. Whilst this is an admirable goal, is that single measure truly adequate to ascertain whether an activity was effective?

Cyberthreats evolve constantly, but one rule endures: hackers will never break down your front door if they can get in through an open window. Most retailers are keenly aware that the credit card and customer data on their networks is a prime target for hackers, and so they barricade access points to their websites and ecommerce systems to ward off intrusion.
