Power Retail has published an article recently about what ecommerce tactics are becoming obsolete - https://powerretail.com.au/getting-started/5-out-of-date-e-commerce-tactics-you-should-stop-using-in-2021/?mc_cid=8e07eefbf4. They make an interesting point about businesses which are not offering a holistic shopping experience, given the changes to way we shop now in times of pandemic lockdowns and working from home.
Omni-channel retail (browsing and buying from any device, anywhere) is here; not just multi-channel retail (website plus bricks & mortar store). Placing a grocery order from the couch at 9pm to be collected next day – awesome!
Your challenge is to get your site mobile-friendly (not just desktop friendly), understand your customers’ buying habits, and then find the balance between the channels, and see them as interchangeable.
