AI is not a part of high-end sci-fi movies anymore.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s for real. From automated cash registers to high-end security verification at the airport, AI<\/a> is gaining a deeper grip on almost every business sector.<\/p>\n How can eCommerce stay untouched?<\/p>\n There was a time when shoppers browsed search engines, looking for price comparison tables to make purchase decisions. While the idea sounds retro today, there is still a considerable group from the global population that always bets on this.<\/p>\n * It\u2019s a wake-Up Call!!!*<\/p>\n AI-powered voice assistants are here to take over the entire eCommerce<\/a> search era.<\/p>\n With such aids on your smartphone, shopping via eCommerce apps is as easy as calling out:<\/p>\n \u201cAlexa, buy me a new pair of shoes, please.\u201d<\/p>\n The voice assistant will compare the top-rated shoes on various websites, list them according to the compared prices, and display the results on the screen.<\/p>\n All you need to do is: Click. Pay. Place Order.<\/p>\n Simple, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n Besides helping customers shop better cost-effectively, it helps you earn customer loyalty (obviously, if you tailor your strategy accordingly).<\/p>\n Imagine this: A customer scrolls through your eCommerce website to find a leather belt in brown. Despite browsing the entire range, they don\u2019t find the one they want.<\/p>\n As soon as they are about to click the \u201cClose Tab\u201d button, the AI-enabled chatbot on your website gets activated, and a message asking specific item details pops up. The customer shares the features he needs and the chatbot completes the order placement in a few minutes.<\/p>\n What\u2019s there for you in this implementation?<\/p>\n One, Revenue.<\/p>\n Two, Customer Delight<\/p>\n Three, a loyal customer.<\/p>\n And not just that, chatbots can also help you offer 24\/7 assistance to your customers.<\/p>\n All you need is to get a Custom AI chatbot developed and implemented according to your customer and business demands.<\/p>\n For eCommerce<\/a> businesses to thrive, it is vital to understand buying behavior and strategize accordingly. And that\u2019s where AI-enabled analytics come in. Such insights not just deliver crucial details, but also enable personalizations at every stage of the buyer\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n These systems track your buyer\u2019s activities across channels and platforms and help you to:<\/p>\n \u25cf Drive 16-10x conversions (Source<\/a>) Tracking buyer activities helps you build a more reliable buyer persona and hence create friendlier marketing opportunities. In turn, this pays in the long run, to not just augment revenue and entice customers, but to maintain their loyalty to your brand. These personalized marketing activities include interactive quizzes, referral and loyalty programs, product recommendations, Vlogs, live sessions, and interviews.<\/p>\n Visual searches are a great business tool that change how customers interact with your online retail store. Rather than long strings of search queries, visual search engines can identify and lead you to the products you need simply by uploading the scanned image.<\/p>\n Gartner<\/a> predicts that early adopter brands that add visual and voice search in their websites will boost their revenue by 30%.<\/p>\n Today, customers love images and, of course, anything that makes their life simpler- as it has ever been. There are over 600 million Pinterest searches every month, and yes, 62% of the Millenials today demand visual search integration in digital shopping.<\/p>\n Implementing visual search is not just a matter of enhancing your functionality, but also the need for the hour to stay ahead of the competition curve. Helping you land among customer\u2019s favorites, the strategy also earns you colossal revenue and entices more customers.<\/p>\n A striking example of ASOS\u2019s search tool, known as Style Match that lets you snap and upload pictures and discover products from their catalog. The tool can match more than 850 brands and over 85,000 products that users can buy from. Their strategy revolves around offering the most affordable products to their buyers. The products are an excellent replacement for designer counterparts and also matches their style.<\/p>\n Fake reviews have always been a pain in the neck for the eCommerce stores.<\/p>\n In the era where 88% of the consumers trust online reviews, a single bad review can take a toll on entire sales and cause strategies to fall flat. Popular brands like Amazon are employing AI\/ML systems to track customers\u2019 behavior and purchasing history to boost the verified customer purchase reviews\u2019 prominence and weight. Yet another time, Amazon took the innovation game to another level when it launched the chain of stores that offered a combination of in-store and online shopping.<\/p>\n Justifying its tagline, \u201cJust go out shopping,\u201d Amazon Go<\/a> is a grocery store network that gives you freedom from long queues to shop for home essentials.<\/p>\n The stores work with an Amazon Go application- you enter the store, take products you want, and leave. Enabled through artificial intelligence<\/a>, sensor fusion, and deep learning, the technology detects the items picked from shelves and tracks in the virtual cart. When you leave the stores, your Amazon account is charged, and a receipt is emailed to you in just a few seconds.<\/p>\nHere are some of the most amazing ways AI revolutionizes eCommerce businesses.<\/h2>\n
