The way consumers use technology is a big factor behind the five major trends shaping retail today. Five trends were identified in a recent report from Bazaarvoice. These include:
- Shopping is social: 70% of consumers research online before purchasing in-store, and the average shopper uses approximately 10.4 sources of information to make a purchase decision. Reviews with visual media were 23% more likely to convert. Benefit—a cosmetics brand with an e-commerce site, physical stores, and retail presence—saw a 1,000% higher click-through rate for the “Buy Now” button on Facebook than its average online advertisement.
- Millennials are setting the tone: 51% of Millennials say consumer opinions found on a company’s website have a bigger impact on purchase decisions than recommendations from family and friends. 63% of Millennials say that knowing a company is “mindful of its social responsibilities” makes them more likely to buy from that brand, and 58% are even willing to pay higher prices when part of their spend goes to help causes they support.9
- Mobile is the medium: Forrester Research projects that smartphone-based commerce will increase from $3 billion in 2010 to $31 billion in 2016. Mobile traffic is also growing dramatically, and it’s estimated that in 2013, mobile traffic will account for a whopping 40% of all traffic.
- Omnichannel equals a seamless experience: Retailers have long recognized that the more channels a customer uses, the greater their value. In fact, shoppers who interact with more than one channel spend 18% to 36% more than those who interact with a single channel.
- Big data can uncover unprecedented insight: A 2011 report by the McKinsey Global Institute estimated that retailers using big data to its full potential could increase their operating margins by more than 60%.1. Unfortunately this potential often goes untapped. While the technology exists to collect the data, there is shortage of human capital with the ability to deeply analyze it and make effective decisions with it.
