Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

An identical
basic offer for
traditionnal
players
Historical food distribution players are jostled by new and numerous proposals.
Gradually their hegemony crumbles, it is clear that these actors all have
virtually the same offer: products, prices, services, promotions. The basic
contract offered to their customers is exactly the same!
The Food distribution sector has reacted very late to the digitization
of their industry. Of course, they have muscled and diversified the services
offered : Drive, e-commerce… But again with very similar proposals. It is
therefore not surprising to find as new leaders of customer exprience in
food distribution pure players such Cdiscount, a historical distributor of high
tech and leisure products (K. Salmon investigation and Uptilan December
2015).
However, traditional retailers move the lines and try to reinvent themselves with
new proposals. The ultra urban proximity shops reinvented
by Casino, Franprix Mandarin or Made By Rewe for example.
New concepts also offer innovative customer journey such as Waitrose, Iper,
Tesco Extra.
However, a door opens for Pure Players who propose a different offer, with
new services.

Opportunities

New entrants have developed proposals with new value propositions. New
premium concepts like Eataly, Causse Vintage Belgium or Germany Edeka den
propose a different customer experience: visit / eat / carry.
The premises are remarkable, products are authentic and the customer journey
proposed is seductive.
New food consumption trends (short circuits, organic, collaborative ...) are now
integrated in new concepts by many players.
They provide agile responses and are very focused on value-added services.
HandPick, for example rethinks how to shop, the Californian start-up has become
known for its ability to analyze data in the field of food and to use this information to
compose meals that fit kit the identified needs.
Another trend has emerged in 2015: the appetite of marketplaces for food
distribution. Amazon announced in July 2015 its willingness to enter the French
market. Uber launched Uber eats in the USA. Alibaba, the Chinese e-retailer has

orders involving shipping from abroad, two thirds of Europeans also make
international purchases (79% of Italians, 73% of Germans, 59% of Frenchmen).
Likewise, premium brands go through the same process even though they already
are well known. It becomes primordial to stimulate multiple contact points to continue
being prominent in the eyes of the customers. Surprise to better commit its
customers is the imperative driving premium brands to offer surprising and playful
physical stores. 2015 flourished with examples such as Burberry opening the
Thomas Café and Sonia Rykiel turning one of its stores into a Library-Café.
The purchasing place is undeniably a main asset. It becomes an interpersonal
place, where the customer wants to maximise his/her pleasure. It allows to nourish
