A one-size-fits-all approach to retail doesn’t work. Shoppers are looking for a personalized experience online such as retargeting, virtual assistants, product recommendations and content that is a direct reflection of their behaviour. The opportunity is certainly there; almost every customer has a smartphone and has probably already encountered your brand and products online. But what’s next for your Brand or your e-tail store? The hype was all about e-commerce, now it’s all about Me-Commerce. It’s time to find out what is it and how retailers are trying to adopt it.
