It’s evolved. It’s become better. And you can theoretically sell almost anything online. \n\nKeep in mind, however, your customers have evolved too. Modern customers crave convenience, and nothing less than the best service. With so many options to choose, customers aren't easily satisfied nor do they want to compromise on their online shopping experiences, in any way.\n\nIf you’re looking to soar high in the skies of the ecommerce world, you’ll have to give customers the BEST POSSIBLE EXPERIENCE as well as keep up with the latest technological and social media trends. Nothing less works. \n\nThis is a guide on the latest eCommerce trends that can give your business a competitive advantage over your peers. We cover unique tips that will help you take your eCommerce selling many notches higher.\n\n## The Need for eCommerce Businesses to Keep Up With Trends\n\nSince the pandemic happened, the way consumers think about eCommerce has changed significantly. Consumers are no longer looking at eCommerce as a fancy way to shop, something distant and external to their lives. eCommerce, instead, has become as common as watching TV. People engage with it regularly. They stick with stores that give them the best experience but are quick to forget those who cannot grab their attention.  \n\nWhile customers are now returning to brick-and-mortar stores, eCommerce is forecast to [constitute a whopping 41% of global retail sales by 2027](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.statista.com\u002Fstatistics\u002F534123\u002Fe-commerce-share-of-retail-sales-worldwide\u002F). And big tech giants are investing huge in eCommerce. Take for instance, the recent event of Salesforce buying Demandware for a whopping $3 billion. \n\nWhat this also means is more players on the battlefield—merchants both big and small, local and global trying to sell online. The question is how to set yourself apart and not become obsolete. In navigating this increasingly competitive landscape, many merchants collaborate with a \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.avenga.com\u002Fretail\u002F\">retail software development company\u003C\u002Fa> to refine their digital storefronts and adapt to shifting customer expectations.\n\nShirley Tan, developer partnership manager at Yahoo Small Business, puts forward an interesting observation. \n\nHe says, earlier eCom owners thought, “if I build my online store, customers will somehow discover it…Today, that is no longer the case. When there were fewer e-commerce stores, they may have been able to rely on a stumble-upon effect, but now the internet is too crowded and noisy. Therefore, engaging the customer and getting their attention has to be more meaningful and impactful.” \n\nIt is precisely because of these two main factors: \n\n1. customers demanding more than ever, and,\n2. If you don’t give customers the best, someone else will, that online retailers must hustle to grab customer attention with a pom-pom, with offers, with live commerce, or by any or all of the many eCommerce trends we’ll cover in this article. \n\nThe need of the hour is to be, “to be wherever the consumer wants to be,” as Lewi’s first-ever Chief Digital Officer Jason Gowans says [in an interview](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.modernretail.co\u002Foperations\u002Flevis-first-ever-chief-digital-officer-is-focusing-on-the-fundamentals-to-triple-e-commerce-sales\u002F#:~:text=That%E2%80%99s%20a%20big,to%20test%20that), when asked about expanding to the metaverse. \n\nThat said, here are the eCommerce trends all set to shape up online buying in 2024 and the forthcoming years. We have divided them into three categories for a better segmentation.\n\n## 1) Customer is King; Learn from them\n\nThe customer was, and still remains the king. Your business must be ready to serve them the royal way. This is possible only if you invest in providing customers with consistently great customer experience. \n\nIt is possible only by crafting nuanced, thoughtful experiences at every step of the customer journey, right from the time they land on your online storefront to how they are treated with post-sales support.\n\nWhat are brands doing to take better care of customers? Investing in omnichannel technologies, creating more wholesome buyer experiences, such as what Alibaba did with live commerce, and opting for better personalization. \n\n### Personalize, Personalize, Personalize\n\nMcKinsey writes that [71% of consumers expect personalization](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.mckinsey.com\u002Fcapabilities\u002Fgrowth-marketing-and-sales\u002Four-insights\u002Fthe-value-of-getting-personalization-right-or-wrong-is-multiplying) and 76% of them get frustrated when they do not find personalized experiences buying online. eCommerce businesses are investing heavily in data to offer customer-first personalization.\n\nThey’re trying to innovate to go above and beyond the basics of personalization: showing customers products based on their interest (such as what they’re looking for, their region and age, or what they’ve purchased in the past), designing custom landing pages that welcome each prospect with products that match their interest, and opting for targeted email marketing \n\nThat’s because in 2024, you need much more than these basics. \n\n2 trends that stand out here: \n\n- Delivering truly omnichannel customer experience\n- Taking personalization to cover granular details, such as by personalized loyalty programs\n\nWhen you think omnichannel in 2024, you do not just mean reaching customers on all the different social or online platforms seamlessly. In fact, opting for an omnichannel approach now means bridging the gap between offline and online shopping, providing what may be called a phygital experience. \n\nThis translates to providing uninterrupted customer experiences without making customers wait or repeat themselves from agent to agent,  platform to platform, and spinning together a fabric of continuity inspired by O2O commerce (online to offline commerce). \n\nAnother latest trend in this direction of making personalization more meaningful to the buyer is opting for personalized loyalty programs. [Forbes' Denis Sinelnikov](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.forbes.com\u002Fsites\u002Fforbesagencycouncil\u002F2024\u002F01\u002F17\u002Fthe-future-of-e-commerce-trends-to-watch-in-2024\u002F?sh=1e542577b5e4) writes,\n\n\n> \"In 2024, I want to see us bring personalization further as retailers harness data analytics and AI. This could involve large retailers offering more personalized content to users and allowing users to customize loyalty programs to meet their specific shopping habits and needs.\"\n\nData backs this up: A majority of [loyalty program members (78%) are unsatisfied](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.capgemini.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F11\u002Fdti_loyalty-deciphered_29nov17_final.pdf) with the current level of personalisation of their programs. Personalization, is thus, about finding out new ways to be more meaningful and relevant, whether it’s by bringing in omnichannel systems or using AI or data. \n\nHowever, with data privacy and ethics in mind.\n\nHow do you render this level of personalization to buyers?\n\nOpting for better coordination between different departments, bringing processes in place that allow seamless data sharing across teams, investing in your tech stack\u002Fsoftware tools, and using data and consumer insights to drive decisions. You must understand how your customer is set to evolve over time, and not just who they were in the past. \n\n### Make your website shopping experiences simply better \n\nIn 2024, ecommerce stores are going for minimalistic designs that do not overwhelm users. \n\nThe basics remain the same though: There's no substitute to a clean, and easy-to-use website. With so many distractions people have, your website must strive to provide value fast. It must allow people to find what they want, or let’s say, connect with customer service quickly. \n\nLet’s go over two trends that can make your eCommerce website stand out: Mobile compatibility and 3-d product viewing capabilities.\n\nMobile compatibility: In 2024, m-commerce is expected to [account for 40.4% of all e-commerce sales](https:\u002F\u002Ftblocks.com\u002Farticles\u002Fe-commerce-trends-2024-10-insights-for-the-future-of-online-shopping\u002F). Keeping this in mind, you wouldn’t want your users to abandon carts as your ecommerce store couldn’t provide solid mobile functionality.\n\nAnother trend to watch out in this space is providing 360-degree, 3-dimensional product views that let customers look at products up close and real. Shopify found that merchants who add 3D content to their stores can see a whopping [94% lift in conversions](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.shopify.com\u002Fenterprise\u002Fblog\u002Faugmented-reality-ecommerce-shopping). Plus, it takes customer experience to another level, develops trust in your brand, and is so much more interactive than zooming in on product photos. \n\nSee this lamp on Ikea. Apart from a 3-D view that lets you rotate it in all the different directions, they also use AR tech to make you see how it would look in your drawing room.\n\n![Lamp.png](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002FLamp_4e62b68cec.png)\n\n### You cannot not listen to your customer\n\nI visited Flipkart this morning. This little pop up at the bottom struck out. Why? They implemented a new design and were quick to ask users if they like it. This brings us to a clear, simple moral: It’s your users who ultimately validate your work.\n\n![Likedislike.png](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002FLikedislike_c82992c4c9.png)\n\nGreat customer experience and satisfaction are the results of decisions made after listening actively to your customer’s voice and collecting better feedback. AI and data have emerged as two trendsetters impacting and defining how organizations are collecting customer feedback. Gen AI, for instance, automates customer feedback and could be used to quickly respond to customer queries. Data, the oil of the 21st century, gives you all the active and passive insights to make better future decisions.\n\nBusinesses are now:\n\n- **Collecting more real-time customer feedback**: To gain granular insights on the smallest of ventures. Form maker-apps like [Formester](\u002F) embed on your site, letting users share detailed feedback at various parts of your website. See how eBay has the feedback button right on its home page, leading to a survey form.\n\n![feedback.png](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Ffeedback_be4dfc01fd.png)\n\n-** Investing more in passive feedback collection**: Modern tools let you monitor and capture behavioral [user feedback](\u002Ftemplates\u002Fcustomer-satisfaction-survey-696\u002F) by recording user sessions that help you see exactly what customers do on your website. They capture every click and scroll and make for a great way to see when and where they face challenges\n\n- **Using social media for feedback**: Social media feedback offers crude, unfiltered customer opinions that can often prove eye-openers. It can tell what you’ve been doing wrong and what you can do better. Businesses, in 2024, are using social media more than ever to engage with customers and act promptly on social feedback.\n\nTake the case of Blinkit, an Indian online grocery platform. When a user complained on X about not getting a bunch of coriander as a freebie (a traditional practice with Indian vegetable-sellers) when shopping with their platform, [Blinkit CEO was quick to respond](https:\u002F\u002Ftimesofindia.indiatimes.com\u002Ftechnology\u002Ftech-news\u002Fhow-blinkit-plans-to-solve-indian-moms-dhaniya-problem-with-online-delivery-of-vegetables\u002Farticleshow\u002F110180066.cms), assuring the user they’d follow suit.\n\n\n💡If you’re looking to actively collect direct customer feedback on your online store, consider creating intelligent and beautiful survey forms designed with Formester. You may share them with customers post-purchase or embed them on your site. Formester also provides pre-prepared templates to help you get started quick. Check out: [Customer Satisfaction Survey Template](\u002Ftemplates\u002Fcustomer-satisfaction-survey-696\u002F) or the [NPS Form Template](\u002Ftemplates\u002Fnet-promoter-score-nps-702\u002F).\n\n\n## 2) Tech is Transforming eCommerce\n\nIf you're an ecommerce store, you need some form of AI today. Partly for convenience and better CX. Partly for the buzz of it. Just kidding. You cannot also fail to catch up with some of the latest trends that lie on the intersection of tech and eCommerce, something we’re covering briefly below.\n\n### Generative AI is transforming eCommerce\n\nUsing some form of \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.printful.com\u002Fblog\u002Fai-tools-for-ecommerce\">AI on your ecommerce\u003C\u002Fa> is a must. Built on machine learning algorithms, AI better captures user intent to generate outputs that improves overall CX. And eCommerce stores cannot afford to live without it now. Businesses all over are hopping on the AI bandwagon and over [80% businesses](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.statista.com\u002Fstatistics\u002F747775\u002Fworldwide-reasons-for-adopting-ai\u002F) think using AI gives them a competitive advantage. \n\nGiants aside, even small businesses are adopting AI to create some difference in the way they operate. For instance, Africa, a continent with the lowest eCommerce investments is also [aspiring to derive value from AI](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.voanews.com\u002Fa\u002Fafrican-small-businesses-turn-to-ai-to-improve-e-commerce-\u002F7463136.html) for a more futuristic business \n\nCommon ways eCommerce brands are using AI include finding ways for value-creating personalization, implementing intelligent chatbots that offer quicker and better customer service, or improving customer search and recommendation systems.\n\nAI in eCommerce is also helping automate routine tasks, such as creating product descriptions and catalogs or writing copy. \n\n### AR & VR could spearhead the next revolution\n\nAugmented and virtual reality technologies blur the gap between the physical and the virtual. eCommerce brands no longer just stick with pictures of products they sell. They are instead making people try it out, virtually. \n\nWhether it’s seeing how a necklace will look around your neck, or how a piece of furniture will adorn your home, AR&VR technologies are making this possible. These are particularly useful in retail and fashion industries, but the playground is open to all. {Gucci, for example, partnered with Snapchat](https:\u002F\u002Fforbusiness.snapchat.com\u002Finspiration\u002Fgucci-ar-tryon) to allow customers to try-on shoes through AR.\n\nWhile research points out that [AR&VR are still relatively new technologies](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.statista.com\u002Fchart\u002F31599\u002Fvr-ar-headset-excitement\u002F) and not too popular with customers, their popularity is set to grow monumentally in the future, as we see the growth of the metaverse, and as technology giants like Apple continue to innovate in the field.\n\nThe takeaway: A relatively new technology, using VR and AR to delight shoppers is bound to set you apart.   \n\n### Voice and visual searches are gaining ground\n\nPeople don’t want to just type. They would want to track shipments, see products, or add goodies to cart by voice. Some also want to find items from photos; those they captured themselves or found over the internet.  \n\nLeveraging both approaches makes the shopping experience more wholesome. That’s because up to [40% of Americans](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.invoca.com\u002Fblog\u002Fvoice-search-stats-marketers) use voice search each month, and [62% of millennials](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.visenze.com\u002Fblog\u002F2023\u002F06\u002F22\u002Fthe-rise-of-visual-search-how-retailers-can-be-more-effective\u002F) would want to try out visual search. However, currently not many stores offer these capabilities. \n\nBut with a growing focus on people finding more convenient ways to engage with technology, voice and visual searches become critical to online shopping. The future isn’t, thus, limited to SEO. Voice Search Engine Optimization (VSEO) is the next trendsetter.\n\nLook how IKEA impresses here, once more by offering a small camera icon adjacent to the search bar for visual searches. \n\n![ikea.png](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fikea_5de5517cb3.png)\n\n## 3) Social Media is the New Supermarket\n\nYou cannot ignore the elephant in the room, social media, the online park where you’ll find all your customers strolling. McKinsey predicts that social commerce is expected to [grow more than double between 2021 to 2025](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.mckinsey.com\u002F~\u002Fmedia\u002Fmckinsey\u002Femail\u002Fonpoint\u002F2023\u002F07\u002F2023-07-07a.html), You cannot thus dare to miss hopping on the social media bandwagon. And selling on social media is awesome too with ample room for creativity and personalization. \n\nLet’s look at some social commerce trends matter in this space in 2024:\n\n### Brands are selling more through video content\n\n2024 is the year we move on from static product shoots to make room for more video content. With platforms like Instagram Reels and TikTok becoming almost virtual stores, brands are busy creating engaging, fun videos to show more products in action. 15-60 seconds videos are what hit the sweet spot.\n\nVideos capture attention better in a dizzying, crowded digital space. They tap into viewers’ emotions instantly, sparking desire and motivating impulse purchases. It’s not surprising that a recent report found that [91% of brands use video](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.wyzowl.com\u002Fvideo-marketing-statistics\u002F) (in any form) as a marketing tool. However, the number of videos that each brand produces is only on the rise.\n\nSimilar research has revealed that [88% of shoppers](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.campaignmonitor.com\u002Fblog\u002Femail-marketing\u002F5-reasons-use-video-marketing-drive-sales\u002F) have been convinced to buy a product or try a service after watching a brand’s video. However, any video won’t do. Authenticity and creativity still rule. \n\n\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwavel.ai\u002Fsolutions\u002Fai-video-generator\">Wavel AI Video Creator\u003C\u002Fa> is transforming how e-commerce brands produce content at scale. From product explainers to ad creatives, it enables businesses to generate high-quality, multilingual videos in minutes without needing a professional studio setup.\n\nBrands are also increasingly experimenting with user-generated videos, behind-the-scenes glimpses, and even funny skits to connect with their audiences. The goal is to entertain first and sell second. Tools like \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.renderforest.com\u002Ftext-to-video-ai\">text to video AI\u003C\u002Fa> now make it easier for brands to turn written content into engaging videos that align with this creative shift.\n\n### There are increasing brand partnerships with micro-influencers\n\nThe influencer marketing landscape is not the same as it was a few years ago. The limelight is shifting from mega-influencers to small, independent creators. Micro-influencers, usually with 10,000 to 100,000 followers, have lately emerged as friends for e-commerce stores. \n\nPlus, e-commerce businesses know that micro-influencers [drive 5.6 times the sales](https:\u002F\u002Fdrive.google.com\u002Ffile\u002Fd\u002F1NhZRQxDw91NbDGYgFAvH0K1AQZsZVsAo\u002Fview?usp=sharing) of their macro counterparts, thanks to their niche expertise and deeper connections they forge with their audience. Moreover, micro-influencers typically have higher engagement rates compared to macro-influencers. Micro-influencers on Instagram boast an [average engagement rate of 3.86%](https:\u002F\u002Finfluencermarketinghub.com\u002Finfluencer-marketing-benchmark-report\u002F), while mega-influencers see only 1.21%.\n\nMicro-influencers, thus, bring authenticity and trust in a never-ending, endless market for hundreds of similar products. The reason is simple. Micro-influencers are perceived to have a more genuine interest in the products they promote. Their audience trusts their opinions as those of a friend or peer. \n\n### User-generated content is all over\n\nUser-generated content (UGC), be it photos, videos, reviews, or testimonials created by customers is another trend in social commerce. This is because UGC offers social proof and validates the quality and appeal of your products in the eyes of potential buyers.\n\nNielsen’s research shows that [92% of consumers](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.nielsen.com\u002Finsights\u002F2012\u002Fconsumer-trust-in-online-social-and-mobile-advertising-grows\u002F) trust recommendations from other people more than branded content. This is why savvy e-commerce stores are actively encouraging UGC. \n\nThey're launching hashtag campaigns, hosting contests, and even integrating UGC into their websites. Such as adding a \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fsocialwalls.com\u002F\">social media wall\u003C\u002Fa> where customer content is showcased directly on the site.\n\nA great recent example of this strategy is Myntra where customers post videos and images of themselves [trying on and reviewing Myntra’s products](https:\u002F\u002Fwww.myntra.com\u002Fstudio\u002Ffeed), which they then repost on its social media accounts, and even inside the app.\n\n![clothes.png](https:\u002F\u002Fformester-strapi.s3.ap-south-1.amazonaws.com\u002Fclothes_17239fdac8.png)\n\nWhen brands showcase real people using and loving their products, they build trust, increase engagement, and sales ultimately take a lift.\n\nThe beauty of UGC lies in how real it is. It's a form of word-of-mouth marketing that consumers actually relate to. When potential buyers see others like themselves enjoying a product, they're more likely to see themselves doing the same and making a purchase.\n\n## Rake Up your eCommerce Selling with Formester\n\nWe just covered some of the most meaningful trends shaping the world of eCommerce in this year and beyond.

It’s easy to use and free, making it a favorite for many.\nHowever, as businesses grow, they often need more features than Google Forms can offer. That’s where **[Formester](\u002F)** comes in.\n\nFormester is a better option for anyone looking for more flexibility, customization, and advanced features in form building. In this post, we’ll explain why Formester is the **best alternative to Google Forms**.\n\n## Why People Are Looking for a Google Forms Alternative\n**[Google Forms](https:\u002F\u002Fdocs.google.com\u002Fforms\u002Fu\u002F0\u002F)** is simple, but it has its limits. The biggest issue is customization. Google Forms doesn’t let you change the design much, you can’t add logos or adjust the color scheme to match your brand. It also lacks advanced features like **[conditional logic](\u002Fblog\u002Fwhat-is-conditional-logic-how-to-use-it\u002F)** (showing or hiding questions based on answers).\n\nAnother big drawback is that Google Forms does not work with other tools. This includes payment systems, CRMs, and email marketing software.\nLastly, Google Forms has basic data reporting, which makes it difficult to **analyze form submissions** for larger projects.\n\nAs businesses grow, they need more from their forms. They want forms that look professional. They also want more features like automatic responses, payment options, and easier ways to analyze data in real time. That’s where Formester steps in, offering all these advanced options and more.\n\n### Formester Vs Google Forms – Feature Comparison\nOne of the main reasons Formester is better than Google Forms is its **[AI-powered form generator](\u002Fai-form-generator\u002F)**. With Formester, you can create forms, surveys, and quizzes in a few clicks by simply typing what you need.\n\nThe AI will generate a form for you in seconds, saving you a lot of time compared to building forms manually in Google Forms.\nAnother big advantage of Formester is customization. With Formester, you can change your form’s design by adding logos, adjusting colors, and choosing custom fonts.\n\nGoogle Forms doesn’t allow that kind of flexibility, so your forms end up looking generic. With Formester, you can make your forms look exactly how you want them to.\n\nFormester also gives you more advanced features like conditional logic. This means you can create forms where certain questions appear or disappear based on the user’s answers. This makes the experience more personalized for the person filling out the form.\n\nPlus, Formester lets you add **file uploads**, payment gateways, and even multi-step forms, which Google Forms can’t do. You can use a QR code to share your form on mobile devices. This makes it easy for users to access and fill out your form.\n\nFormester also supports creating multilingual forms. This feature lets you reach a global audience by making your forms available in different languages. Google Forms doesn’t offer this level of flexibility.\n\n### Why Formester is the Best Google Forms Alternative\nFormester is more than just an **[alternative to Google Forms](\u002Fblog\u002Fwhy-formester-is-the-best-google-forms-alternative\u002F)**. It’s the best choice for anyone who needs better features, more customization, and the ability to grow.\n\nIf you run a business, agency, or are an educator, Formester has the tools you need.
