Invesp Research Reveals Omnichannel Shopping to Be the Key Driving Factor for Both In-Store and Online Shopping Experiences
Detroit, Michigan (PRWEB) May 16, 2016 -- According to Invesp, a leading provider of website conversion optimization intelligence, AB and multivariate testing software and services, omnichannel shopping has become one of the key driving factors of in-store and online shopping experience: companies with omnichannel customer engagement strategies retain on average 89% of their customers, compared to 33% for companies with weak omnichannel customer engagement.
Omnichannel shopping makes it possible for a shopper to check availability of product prior to visiting a store, buy or reserve a product online and pick it up later in store, use social media to access across the channels, have profile information available across all the channels for easy access and consistent shopping experience from one channel to next.
Around 70% of US online shoppers said that they had used “buy online, pick up in-store” services.
The top four omnichannel shopping product categories by percentage of customers are: consumer electronics (65%), apparel (64%), toys (63%) and home appliances (58%).
Although 72% of digital shoppers consider in-store experience as the most important channel when making a purchase, smartphones have been playing bigger and bigger role in retail: they influence more than 28% of US retail sales. 71% of US shoppers who use smartphones for research admit that their devices have become more important for their in-store experience.
Ayat Shukairy, Invesp Co-Founder and SVP Client Relations, says, “Only 45% of retailers considered omnichannel efforts as their top priority in 2015, but omnichannel shopping increases lifetime value of a customer by 30%.”
