The digital ecosystem has evolved to such a level, where our everyday customer journeys are just that - everyday. We expect our online shopping experience to be seamless. If it is anything less, then it becomes a bad user experience, frustrating and annoying to the consumer.
Users are moving away from tolerance and more and more towards proneness. This shift is seen in the unsurprising stat that since January 2013, ad-blocking software has grown by 400% with currently 200 million users worldwide. More often than not, someone downloads AdBlocker not because of ads, but because of a bad ad experience.
This means that now more than ever, the customer is always right. They hold so much power over brands today, who are often scrambling to show an ad to as many people as possible whilst keeping returning customers loyal.

In the era of GDPR, informed users were expecting to have greater control of their data. But what they hoped for, maybe subconsciously, was that this control would not just keep their personal data safe but also improve the user experience of digital services. Fewer surprising (and not in a good way) emails; fewer creepy ads; more transparent and therefore trustworthy and, dare I say, fun-to-use websites.
However, it’s clear that the variety of different approaches to compliance have not produced a utopian consistency in web forms, check-boxes and privacy notices – the user experience side of GDPR. Let’s not wade through the finer points of the legislation again; suffice to say that some companies have let ‘legitimate interests’ do more legwork than others, for better or worse, and the guidance from the ICO has not always been seen as gospel.

There are many user-generated content features we can design to motivate our users. We can encourage users to share ratings and comments, check in daily to gain or unlock coupon offers, invite friends to gain points and win badges to become the top influencers… These social rewards are virtual accomplishments that make people feel good and help to facilitate a stronger bonding between the user and the app — the more you contribute to the app, the more you’ll be rewarded and recognized by others.

Let’s be honest – no one wants to lose customers. In fact, high customer churn rates are the absolute worst nightmare of just about every webshop owner. Interestingly enough, the reason these churn rates get so high in the first place is because these same webshop owners are unable to locate or identify the source of the problem. This is a huge mistake to be making – especially when we look at the figures. According to the book Marketing Metrics, ‘the probability of selling to a new prospect falls anywhere between 5 and 20% whereas the probability of selling to an existing customer is somewhere between 60 and 70%’! So what can your company do to get back on track and start reducing customer churn?

If you’ve been paying attention to the application of artificial intelligence in retail, you may feel like the buzz around the topic has gone from zero to “arrived” in less than a year. In retail time, even at the speed of the modern consumer, that is incredibly fast.
Some of the hype has come from activity around specific use-cases for the application of AI in retail. While companies like Baidu profess over 100 AI capabilities, in retail it appears that use-cases are centering on four main areas:
