The fast-paced digitalization is accelerating the eCommerce growth rapidly in recent years. Statista says in 2019, retail e-commerce sales worldwide amounted to 3.53 trillion US dollars and e-retail revenues are projected to grow to 6.54 trillion US dollars in 2022. A lot of offline brands are turning omnipresent and launching their online stores every day.
The availability of global dropshipping options has expanded the retailer’s services all across the world. Thus an online shopper has plenty of retailer options to purchase a product. All he/she has to do is to type in a query in a search engine and tens of thousands of results pop up.
Hence a lot of retailers focus on their SEO (Search Engine Optimization) to drive traffic to their stores. While most retailers succeed in bringing traffic to their store, they fail in effectively converting them into buyers. This increases customer acquisition costs and reduces the store’s profitability.
Why Merchandising is important in eCommerce?
Online Merchandising helps retailers to increase visitor engagement and thereby improving sales. It is the art & science of determining what products to display at a retail store and the same is required at the online store.
Over 80% of your visitors drop off after 3 scrolls at any product listing page. Hence the top 100 products on any listing page influence your sales. Merchandising comes in handy to display the products in the desired order that is more likely to sell.
Challenges/Limitations in eCommerce platforms
The eCommerce platforms like Magento, Shopify, and BigCommerce by default do not offer or offers only limited merchandising options to the retailers. Creating and managing listing pages in these platforms are completely manual, time-consuming, tiring, and not data-driven. As a result, the pages remain static and reduces the CTR (Click-Through-Rate). Merchandising extensions and apps make the activity easier, productive, and helps in conversion improvement.
