Social commerce: focus on mobile devices and customer loyalty

 

According to a study conducted on social commerce, 62 percent of 13 to 39-year-old consumers are interested in buying items directly from their social media feeds. Moreover, Google carried out another research in which two thirds of shoppers advanced that mobile-friendly modes of shopping are essential when they are choosing which brand to purchase from.

As such, you should not make the same mistake that several other retailers make: creating storefronts that work best on desktops. This will increase the probability of you losing customers before they even reach the checkout process. Social commerce solves this problem. It offers a seamless experience, starting from the browsing step to checkout. Regardless of what buyers are looking for, and where, they will be satisfied with their journey. For instance, they can be looking for fashion items on Instagram or Christmas presents on local retailers’ Facebook page.

Another advantage of social media sites is that they allow merchants to target a larger customer base and to attract more buyers. According to research, 72 percent of millennials say that if a brand engages with them on social networks, they are more likely to become a loyal client. As such, this phenomenon helps drive customer loyalty which will definitely boost your sales.
