Social media shopping

More people are choosing to shop online using their favorite social media app. They love the idea of being social and being able to shop at the same time in a single platform. So, if you are an eCommerce who have not considered selling on social media, you might want to think about it.

Chatbots

Having great customer service is one of the key factors why shoppers buy from you and there is no better way to offer great customer service than to always be available for your customers whenever they need you. That is why chatbots will surely be a big trend in 2020. The ability to have real-time conversations with your customers and allow them to get answers to their questions quickly will definitely ease their buying hesitations and boost conversions.

AR and VR experiences

One disadvantage of shopping online is that you don’t have the chance to see yourself using or wearing the item to help you in your buying decision. Well, that’s about to change. Thanks to AR and VR experience shoppers will now be able to see the products in ‘real-life’.

Voice search

The majority of online shoppers use their mobile and people are not typing their searches anymore. Except they use voice search to find the product they want to buy. Devices like the Amazon Echo and Google Home enable users to do voice searches and explore products online.

So, there you have it. If you want to keep your business moving, keep up with these trends so you can better serve your consumers from this day and moving forward.
