Online consumer behaviour FAQs<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s been a rapid evolution in online consumer behaviour. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This evolution is the byproduct of drastic changes in ecommerce as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Launching ecommerce in the future far beyond any reasonable or predictable expectations, COVID-19 triggered a new age of retail. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new age of retail is marked by the transition of the customer buying experience from brick-and-mortar shopping to online shopping. And it occurred much more quickly and on a much larger scale than ever anticipated.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be successful, ecommerce companies need to understand new trends in consumer shopping behaviour stimulated by the pandemic. What drives customers is different than it was. Thinking through the entire e<\/a><\/span>nd-to-end ecommerce shopping experience, what are consumers expecting now? M<\/span>oreover, what can retailers do to meet new expectations brought on by this rapid and drastic shift in ecommerce? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before examining new trends in ecommerce and how to meet consumer demand, it\u2019s important to understand online consumer behaviour. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is online consumer behaviour?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Online consumer behaviour is the process of how consumers make decisions to purchase products in ecommerce. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The behaviors themselves \u2014 such as identifying a problem or deciding to make a purchase \u2014 are based on ever-evolving expectations and needs. And while needs look different for every shopper, the new expectations that currently drive online consumer behaviour are entrenched in commonality. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expectations like product availability, delivery transparency, affordable shipping, and more recently, a convenient buying journey all affect how consumers make decisions to buy items online (and whether or not they\u2019ll remain loyal customers once they\u2019ve made a purchase). <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How COVID-19 transformed online shopping behaviour<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, a remarkable and unprecedented shift occurred in ecommerce. Many brick-and-mortar stores were forced to close, and consumers were placed under stay-at-home orders. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Subsequently, consumers placed exceptional and unpredictable demand on the ecommerce marketplace to provide the products they previously purchased in person. In 2020, <\/span>84% of consumers shopped online<\/span><\/a> more than before. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Initially, online stores struggled to meet this incredible demand. Products sold out at record pace, stock dwindled or disappeared altogether, and fast shipping and delivery<\/a> lagged. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eventually, ecommerce stores began to fall into step with this new, heightened demand. But along with that heightened demand for products, there was also a transformation in consumer expectations for what the online shopping experience should include. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These new expectations created different trends in online consumer behaviors. Even as brick-and-mortar stores began to reopen their doors, a large majority of consumers continued to utilise ecommerce to make purchases. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consumers discovered positive components to online shopping that they enjoyed that weren\u2019t available in the traditional offline shopping experience. These positive online shopping experiences further encouraged new trends in consumer behaviors to take a steadfast hold. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five online consumer behaviors and shopping trends<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

So what new behaviour and shopping trends have emerged as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A recent research study by Linnworks identified <\/span>five significant ecommerce trends<\/span><\/a> that help drive online consumer behaviour. And while these trends materialize at various points in the customer buying journey, they all have one constituent in common \u2014 convenience. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key to success in ecommerce is understanding these new trends and adopting business strategies to meet the current expectations of a convenient buying journey.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Convenience is a top priority.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to Linnworks\u2019 study, 76% of consumers<\/a> value convenience as one of their top priorities. (And 78% of consumers now value convenience more than they did before COVID restrictions.) <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the primary things consumers find convenient is the ability to browse an online store and check out as a guest. In addition, the fewer forms consumers have to complete <\/span>\u2014 the more convenient and better they find their overall customer buying journey (and the more likely they are to return). <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Easy access across all devices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

81% of online shoppers<\/a> seek a seamless transfer between devices throughout a buying journey. In fact, the expectation is now that consumers can begin a buying journey on one device, such as a desktop, and end on another, like their mobile device \u2014 without interruption. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This cross-device experience is also expected to include checkouts with personal details already completed on whichever device customers finalize their buying journey (even if they filled in these details on a different device). <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Access to omnichannel shopping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With access to multiple technology options, consumers are engaged in an \u2018always-on\u2019 shopping experience. 70% of consumers<\/a> now shop while multitasking (for example, while scrolling social media platforms). And they\u2019ve come to expect that their favorite brands are on the same channels where they spend the majority of their time. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This maximises convenience by ensuring they never have to leave their favorite and trusted platforms during the buying process. For retailers, this includes implementing an omnichannel model<\/a> by focusing on various marketplaces where consumers spend their time and, more specifically, selling on social channels such as Facebook and Instagram.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Effortless payment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When retailers are considering tips to keep up with consumer expectations and behaviors, it\u2019s essential to focus on every aspect of the customer experience. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Consumers seek convenience throughout the entire buying journey. As as part of that end-to-end buying convenience, they look to discover ecommerce online shops that have easy-to-setup payment gateways that also accept popular payment methods \u2014 such as \u201cbuy now, pay later.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The simplicity of payment options drives 89% of consumers<\/a> to make purchasing decisions more quickly. And 84% of consumers purchase larger ticket items with offered effortless and flexible payment options.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Fast and reliable delivery<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

95% of consumers<\/a> feel that fast delivery options are a <\/span>must-have<\/span> factor when shopping online. That\u2019s why ShipBob offers fast <\/span>2-day shipping<\/span><\/a> and has a dispersed network of logistics centres<\/a> to split inventory<\/a> across to help reduce shipping costs<\/a>, speed up delivery times, and meet customer expectations. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shipping transparency is also highly expected of online retailers. In fact, 72% of consumers have abandoned their purchases over a lack of shipping transparency on ecommerce sites.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to meet modern online shopping expectations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The key to success for retailing in ecommerce is understanding the evolving and complex trends set forth by consumers. For retailers, meeting and exceeding customer expectations defined by ever-evolving online shopping trends are antecedents to creating the best customer journey<\/a> possible.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So how can ecommerce retailers keep up with the drastic changes and demands catalyzed by the COVID-19 pandemic? <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sell across multiple platforms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Retailers aren\u2019t going to find success online unless they meet consumers where they are. And in today\u2019s marketplace, that means selling across multiple ecommerce platforms. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to <\/span>these worldwide ecommerce statistics by Statista<\/span><\/a>, in 2020, online marketplaces accounted for the largest share of global online purchases. And while necessary, it can be difficult to manage sales and inventory when selling on multiple sites. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using a system such as <\/span>Linnworks Multichannel Listing Software<\/span><\/a> will connect, manage, and automate commerce operations. A system like this allows retailers to meet consumers wherever they shop, providing convenience and capitalising on as many revenue opportunities as possible. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Provide faster shipping<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the rise of ecommerce conglomerates, like Amazon, able to ship items quickly, consumers have come to expect transparent and convenient expedited shipping options from all of their online retail shops. Plainly stated, consumers want their products quickly and cheaply. And they\u2019re willing to prioritize retailers who can make these expectations a reality. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2021 and beyond, it\u2019s essential to offer customers the fastest shipping possible. As a global logistics<\/a> platform, <\/span>ShipBob<\/span><\/a> works to make that a reality <\/span>with distributed warehouses and logistics automation<\/a>. ShipBob\u2019s fulfilment solution allows retailers to meet fast shipping demands consistently to help establish customer trust and increase customer satisfaction.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offer a simple return process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The customer journey<\/a> doesn\u2019t end when a purchase is made. To keep customers loyal after they check out, post-purchase services and interactions need to be as frictionless as possible. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means offering a simple and convenient return process. ShipBob<\/span> allows customers to generate return shipping labels and track returns all from one dashboard. An all-inclusive system such as this also enables returns items to be processed and put back into available inventory as efficiently and as seamlessly as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Create a personalised buying experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Consumers want to conveniently see recommended products that fit their specific needs or solve a problem they\u2019re experiencing \u2014 without having to dig deep. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do this, marketers need to create a targeted and personalised buying experience based on data from search, viewed, and purchase history. Demographic data like location and email can also help determine customer needs or problems they need help solving. A cross channel marketing platform<\/a> can make this a scalable, automated process.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then, this data collected should be analysed and applied to create the most customised online shopping experience <\/a>possible that meets the customer\u2019s needs or solves the problem<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upgrade the mobile shopping experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to Statista, <\/span>consumers spent 31% of digital ecommerce<\/span><\/a> dollars on mobile devices. That amounts to 47.8 billion US dollars. Recent online behaviour statistics like that can\u2019t be ignored. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retailers need to ensure that their mobile channels <\/span>\u2014 both websites and apps \u2014 rival that of the traditional desktop experience. The mobile shopping experience should offer convenience by the ease of use. And it should include frictionless touchpoints and positive micro-interactions<\/a> throughout the buyer\u2019s journey.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Include easy-to-locate product reviews<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Consumers want to know the quality of what they\u2019re purchasing, and they don\u2019t want to look far to find out. <\/span>38% of consumers feel online reviews<\/span><\/a> are critical when deciding whether or not to make a purchase. (Age also plays a vital role in review expectations, with younger age groups expecting more reviews than older ones.) <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Retailers should display online reviews<\/a> in easy-to-find locations for as many products as possible. The less searching a customer has to do, the better. If consumers have trouble finding reviews, they\u2019re more likely to move on to another retail site where they can conveniently read reviews before making a purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offer flexible payment options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If the buying journey\u2019s final steps are complicated and inconvenient, consumers will likely skip making a purchase altogether. In fact, 9 in 10 of respondents surveyed by Linnworks replied they expect flexible payment options when checking out of online shops. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To meet this expectation, retailers need to offer \u201dbuy now, pay later\u201d options and guest checkouts to make this component of the customer buying journey as convenient as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online consumer behaviour FAQs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Are you looking to understand more about customer behaviour? Below are some answers to the top questions related to online consumer behaviour. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/h6>

<\/h2>

<\/p><\/div>

\n\n

Why are online consumer behaviors important?<\/h4>
<\/div><\/div>
\n\n

Online consumer behaviors are essential because it’s the process by which consumers make decisions about purchasing products. Understanding what drives consumers — their expectations, needs, and influences — allows retailers to develop strategies to increase their customer base and revenue. <\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

How does online shopping affect consumers?<\/h4>
<\/div><\/div>
\n\n

Online shopping affects consumers by offering them a level of convenience like no other experience. The digital age of retail has created an ‘always on’ shopping experience where consumers are almost always open to shopping and finding new products. Online shopping provides consumers with the ability to shop whenever, wherever they want across multiple channels, on various platforms, and devices. <\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

How does fast shipping affect online consumer behaviors?<\/h4>
<\/div><\/div>
\n\n

Offering fast shipping is an integral part of creating a convenient and better customer experience. Fast, transparent shipping and delivery now drive consumers to complete purchases from online stores. Rather than just a “perk,” fast shipping is expected and necessary for success in ecommerce (and if done consistently, it keeps customers coming back).<\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

How has COVID-19 affected online consumer behaviors?<\/h4>
<\/div><\/div>
\n\n

Initially, COVID019 affected online consumer behaviour because ecommerce was essential to making purchases that consumers typically made in person. After the dust began to settle, a new age of retail emerged. Consumers continued to enjoy and even prefer the convenience of an online shopping journey to that of the brick-and-mortar experience. <\/span><\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<\/div>
