Due to the anticipated crisis, 2023 will be a tough year, which will undoubtedly affect the operations of many companies. After the difficult two-year pandemic, which disorganized or even crushed many businesses around the world, we will probably face such challenges as rampant inflation, energy problems and disrupted supply chains. The economic and...

A few years ago, the very ideal of a 30-minute delivery would make most e-commerce stores balk. On the other side of the pandemic, however, consumer demand has changed – and so too has businessses ability to cater to it. Customers have always wanted to buy better, cheaper – and now – faster. So, how did we go from...

Experience is everything these days. At least it might seem so between hyperpersonalization, customer experience and a hundred other buzzwords ending in experience (more on that later 😉 )   Specifically in e-commerce & retail, this is an increasingly obvious direction, so we have one encompassing term: experience-driven commerce. Well, one...

The internet has always been a bit of a pendulum for e-commerce stores. On one hand, stores can reach a wider audience than a physical outlet but, on the other hand, so can all their competitors.  Typically, companies try to swing the pendulum in their favour through tried and tested means: good marketing, good promotions. But what if the...

Shop assistants can guide people to where they need to be and, when it comes to homing in on exactly what someone wants, it’s the fundamental secret to any good salesperson. But online?

Everyone gets stressed on Black Friday but, between us, shoppers are the ones that have it easy 😉 Behind the scenes, entire IT, marketing and customer support teams need to prepare a solid strategy. And that’s not even mentioning warehouse, logistics or the subsequent challenge of order fulfilment… Black Friday (and Cyber Monday) are some of the...

In our previous post, we discussed the challenges of making websites more accessible for people with vision impairments and (spoiler) how to solve them. This time, we want to expand on the concept of usability as a whole, to show how businesses can better make their products and services accessible for all. This time, we want to talk about:...

Nearly every industry these days has an online element – in some cases, it’s the predominant channel. And that’s great – if you don’t have any accessibility requirements.  But as more and more of the world moves online, we need to consider the wider needs that different people may...

How do you measure success? It’s not a trick question. With an online business such as e-commerce stores, there’s a whole wealth of information to draw insights from. However, at the same time, it’s easy to get lost in the multitude of data, statistics, tables and charts. That’s why we want to guide through the most essential statistics: what...
