Of course, when it comes to eCommerce, there is something to WOW!
It was in the 90’s when the concept of eCommerce was out and now, it’s been over 2 decades. Ecommerce has gone beyond “buying and selling something on the website” to the multiple interactions that depend on technology to the movement of goods from one place to another.
Another factor to look upon is the use of Mobile and mobile internet usage. You must be thinking what’s in it for the mobile and mobile internet usage here in eCommerce? Let me explain this factor so that you can understand my point.
A statistic says that 51.2% (globally) of traffic is on the mobile internet out of the total web traffic and surprisingly, Asia continent has a high of 65.15% mobile traffic out of the total web traffic in April 2018, in comparison to other regions. Also, by 2020, mobile phone users will be about 4.78 billions! This clearly states that mobiles usage and mobiles, of-course, have brought a new revolution in the eCommerce field. Now-a-days, digital/eCommerce influence is so immense that, it has become entirely impossible for storekeepers to survive unless they are present upfront to of their customers; moreover, retailers will have to fully integrate digital eCommerce to thrive.
So, isn’t this a thing to WOW, where our selection, choices, and desires are now being manipulated by our fingers? With this, I have something more to add. A study says that by 2021, Mobile eCommerce will raise and poised for future growth upto 72.9%! This was about mobile eCommerce and eCommerce, so why would social media stay away. Even they have played a significant role in the raising of the eCommerce field. Ads, promotion, have expanded the sales and promotion of the eCommerce. A recent study says that social media usage has a share of total mobile minutes in India is 25% of leading online markets.
This all sums upto my explanation that Mobile internet, mobile Apps, social media are the WOW factors for eCommerce. Tremendous hike and demand are seen eCommerce and its trends. Fashion, entertainment, travel, electronics, beauty, food, groceries, you name it, all are surrounded by eCommerce.
So, the point is who is behind eCommerce’s success? Is it the promotion, ads, manpower or is it something else…?
