This practice aims to help shoppers easily use the E-commerce site on desktop computers, laptops, and mobile devices and buy the desired products/services. So, conduct a research in consultation with business development managers and find out what shoppers expect from your E-portal. Just choose a reputable website design and development firm and get your site personalized as per user’s demand. This will help customers to easily explore the desired products on your website and buy that instantly.

Navigational Personalization

Based on browsing behaviour and purchase history, you can customize how customers navigate your Ecommerce website. Let’s understand with an example- An online shopper visited your website, searched for fancy clothes, and went away without completing any transaction. You can talk to that customer through social media websites, Email or direct telephone call and asked him as to why he/she left the transaction without completing it. If the shopping cart abandonment is caused by the complex navigation, personalize the navigation path on your website. This will help that customer to use your website without any problem.

Predictive Recommendations

Predictive Recommendations Based on the buying behaviour of frequent online shoppers, recommendation engines can easily predict products that a person might buy in the future. You can display a full list of recommended products to online shoppers through email campaigns and transactional apps. This encourages to get knowledge about useful products/services and buy them instantly if they meet their requirements.

Capitalise the Potential of Third-Party Data

This is possible if you have a nicely segmented email list. You can segment customers by the last purchase date, average order value, a targeted discount to get them back on board, past purchases, etc.
