Brands used to look for a commerce platform that could do everything. But over time, one vendor was no longer enough to meet a brand’s needs, so they added, and added, and added— and now it's essential that these vendors work well together. That’s composable, and it’s important to get it right. Customers and your board expect you to be in new channels and to adapt quickly to market change.

When you buy something in a store, what you see is what you get. You can inspect the item for yourself, make sure it works, and have a chat with the salesperson before you make your purchase. You know exactly what you’re going to walk out of the store with. That’s not true when people buy online. Buyers can’t see items before they buy, so they have to take the merchant’s word for it.

At this point, many buyers are used to the personalized ads that appear in emails, on Facebook, and elsewhere online. As a B2C marketer, you habitually send out emails that say “Hi [Your Name]”, offer Facebook ads that show products buyers clicked on, but never bought, and send push notifications based on current location. Your ecommerce business relies on this type of technology-driven personalization for one reason: it’s incredibly effective.

Unlike most ‘CROs’ preach, changing colors and tweaking fonts are only going to give you very marginal improvements in conversions and click-through rates. It takes quite a bit of trial and error to understand what creates a positive experience for users on eCommerce websites. It takes even more effort to identify the standard elements on eCommerce sites and determining how they can be A/B tested to try and improve conversions.
