In order to succeed in today’s cross-channel world, brands must be able to give consumers what they want, when they want it and in the manner they demand it. If shoppers can’t find the information they are looking for, they will go elsewhere.
In fact, 1 in 3 consumers have bought from a brand other than their preferred choice because of the information they received while shopping online. Consumers demand accurate and robust product content on the path to purchase.
The devil is truly in the product content details. From discovery to decision making, product content is the driver of every shopper’s journey. Compelling product content sells your products both online and in-store, creates an unparalleled customer experience, and guarantees loyalty.
The path to purchase is no longer linear! Don’t lose your way. Consumers find information about products via social media, apps, internet research, in-store visits, and online purchases, in no particular order. Shoppers expect consistent product content along their individual paths to purchase as they are constantly shifting between the online and physical world. There are blurred lines between blended commerce.
As a result, product content, which has always been important for trading partners, is also important for the consumers. For this reason, product content management should no longer be the exclusive purview of IT and supply chain executives. All business domains—especially marketing, merchandising, sales and customer service—have critical dependencies on product content and complete for the best customer experience.
