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.

5. Intended Target Audience
Emerging Marketers do not have in-depth knowledge about marketing and

Platforms that we used to keep track of our website data.
We are going to into detail with the first two.
During the first week of becoming an Amazon affiliate clicks and sells started strong, but after the first week they began to die down
The banner was changed on day 35, day 36 saw its highest spike in clicks and sells
Initially - Amazon “Back to School” campaign banner (based on timing) TIMETARGETTING ad was relevant to back to school sales
Upon seeing the drop in traffic, the banner was changed to a more relevant banner (based on site content) CONTEXTUAL TARGETING
As far as we can tell the blog posts and post content did not correlate at all with affiliate traffic
The traffic to the MarketingHop site itself may have been affected by content, but there is no direct link between site redirection and traffic
The main reason for increase in affiliate traffic seems to be ad relevance
Our total conversion clicks to sales was 23.33%
2 factors that played a major role with keeping track of website engagement were….
Average Time on Page indicates how long visitors are engaging with content.
As you can see our average time spent on the website
Bounce Rate shows the percentage of visitors that leave your site after viewing your website pages.
However we have a relatively high bounce rate
67.72 % of our keywords were not provided
Iphone significant keyword in one of our blog posts
More national traffic than global
Segmenting traffic geographically can provide great insight into where your engaged audience is coming from and how to best reach them.
Visitors ages 25-34 represent the most valuable age group for our website.
This age group interacts with our content.
78% 22%
Categorizes visitors based on their life styles.
“Technophiles” a person who is enthusiastic about new technologies.
Therefore based on the data we
Sources of traffic: Facebook, Google, Reddit, Inbound
A good portion of our visitors typed our website address directly into the browser
Referral visitors clicked on out links that we placed on other sites.
Reddit is a social networking site where users can submit content or direct links.
