The future of #eCommerce will bring sustainability ♻️ sharply into focus, says Tess Coughlan-Allen, Head of Growth at Atomic Smash:
🌱 41.8% of shoppers want brands to be socially responsible
🌱 82% of shoppers said that sustainability is more top of mind now than it was before the pandemic
💬 “Google searches for ‘sustainability’ increased 63% from 2018 to 2021. The demand for ethical and sustainable choices is there and it’s up to brands to deliver.”
What does this mean for businesses with #WooCommerce stores? 🛍️ They need to keep up with changing consumer expectations and the implications for selling and shipping:
📦 Sustainable packaging will be non-negotiable, but alone it will not be enough
🛒 eCommerce stores building sustainability more deeply into their existing businesses, such as carbon neutral transactions or ethical sourcing, will stand out

Prediction for the future of #eCommerce from Timothy Willis, Head of eCommerce, South West at @pushonltd... growth of social commerce and live shopping - it’s all about the experience! 🛍️
💬 “Brands have been yearning to find ways to bring the in-store experience online. Live shopping offers just this. Think the QVC shopping channel, but digitalised.”
💬 “The concept is very simple. A customer joins a live broadcast hosted by a member of staff or an influencer of a brand. They can ask questions through live chat, see products being demonstrated and buy as they watch.”
💬 “What makes live shopping so valuable is that it nurtures an engaging interaction between brands and customers. It’s predicted that the trend will account for between 10% and 20% of global eCommerce sales by 2026.”
How can brands find success in this space? By meeting customers on their platforms of choice and keep pace with changing shopping habits. 💳

What does the future of #eCommerce look like? A frictionless experience, says Emilia Swiecicka, Partnerships Manager UK, @mollie_payments ⬇️
💬 “The eCommerce world has gone through a tremendous acceleration in the last 2 years, and it’s not slowing down. Shoppers have become accustomed to the convenience, speed and accessibility that online ordering provides and they expect a frictionless experience.”
💬 “Is the website taking time to load? Switch. Is their preferred payment method not available? Switch. Is the website taking you to a new page to pay? Switch. It’s more important than ever to be in tune with the customer and look at what will make them return.”
💬 “The subscription market alone is growing by 75% annually so look at options such as subscriptions, loyalty programs and buy-now-pay-later which can be a game changer,” concludes Emilia Swiecicka, Partnerships Manager UK at
Mollie
Stakes for meeting customer expectations are getting higher, but get it right and you’ll boost sales, improve engagement and help your #WooCommerce store retain customers. 🛍️

Growth in #eCommerce #subscriptions observed by David Hill, Head of Marketing at @huboofulfilment 📦
Here’s what he had to say ⬇️
💬 “We’ve seen a sustained increase not only in the number of eCommerce businesses adopting the subscription model using our fulfilment service, but also growth in subscription orders for those who’ve worked with us for a while.”
Reasons for this trend from consumer and brand perspectives:
1️⃣ The pandemic has encouraged consumers to adopt subscriptions to avoid having to make repeat visits to stores for the same item(s)
2️⃣ Trial offers on a consumer’s first order to boost acquisition and activation
3️⃣ Either familiarity with the product (knowing what you’re going to get) or trying new product lines that they wouldn’t have ordinarily ordered (surprise and delight)
4️⃣ Steady revenue levels and more accurate forecasting for brands
💬 “Fulfilment providers can also provide bespoke packaging for subscription boxes and items, helping to enhance a consumer’s affinity with a brand and increasing repeat orders over time,” concludes David

What does the future of #eCommerce look like? 🛒
We caught up with Ken Lam, Director of Customer Success at #WooCommerce to explore exactly that and ➡️ subscriptions ⬅️ were top of the agenda.
Here’s what Ken had to say...
💬 “Offering subscription-based products or services is one of the best ways to control customer acquisition costs, while also building customer loyalty.”
💬 “The savings made from having just a single cost of acquisition for repeat purchases can be passed onto customers, which will help you maintain a more loyal customer base.”
💬 “With the additional benefits of adding predictability to sales, costs, and inventory management, it’s no surprise that at @woocommerce we’re seeing more and more business owners introducing subscription models to their online stores.”
Considering offering subscriptions? Nearly two-thirds of subscribers (64%) feel more connected to companies providing them a direct subscription experience in comparison to companies they shop with for one-off purchases. 📈
