IS THERE AN IDEAL TIME  FOR ONLINE SHOPPING?

Seemingly, the answer is yes! And you might be surprised to know what that ideal time is...

Recent data from e-commerce companies reveal that peak selling hours for brands coincide with when most people are in the middle of their workday. 

For many remote workers, shopping during work hours is becoming increasingly common. They choose their favorite products, complete their purchase, and then get back to work. 

Take a look at some other insights:

• Spending peaks from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Fridays as the workweek draws to a close;

• Over a quarter of women who frequently shop online confess to doing so during work hours;

• 41% of Gen Zers claim that the optimal time for shopping is during their home office hours.

👉 And that’s not all: Certain analyses have already revealed that the rise in working from home has contributed to an annual $375 billion in e-commerce spending (as of March 2024).

HOW ALGORITHMS SHAPE THE FASHION INDUSTRY

Fashion trends come with an expiration date; sometimes, that date is sooner than you might think...

Algorithms are shaping what consumers see, like, buy, and wear, and this influence isn't always positive.

Today, even the most popular fashion trends have a limited shelf life that can vary from months to mere weeks. 

This shift has revolutionized the fashion sales landscape, with many brands leveraging trend reports to glean insights for their upcoming collections.

However, there's a flipside... This cycle often fosters a scenario where certain content rises to prominence while the rest gets lost in the mix.

So, how can you navigate the algorithms more effectively? In short, influencers.

Given that social media algorithms are heavily influencer driven, exploring diverse methods of influencing your audience may be the optimal strategy for delivering your content.

KEEP THINGS SIMPLE

Technology offers many benefits, and one of them is the abundance of information available when shopping online.

👉 But how do consumers navigate this wealth of information?

Studies reveal that two-thirds of consumers admit to delaying or avoiding decisions when confronted with an overwhelming amount of options or information.

How can this be resolved? Well, nobody wants to experience buyer's remorse and consumers highly value brands that help them avoid it.

Here's the statistical perspective: Consumers who feel more confident when completing purchases are 18 times more likely to recommend the brand to their family or friends.

To help your shoppers feel more confident, consider focusing on three essential points:

• Foster a greater understanding of the category your brand operates in.

• Provide genuinely relevant information to facilitate purchases.

• Cultivate brand loyalty through previous purchase experiences.

👉 It's time to master the essentials and craft a shopping experience rich in valuable information that genuinely speaks to your audience's needs.
