Why installment payments are right for your eCommerce app?

Written by Marie Pireddu  on  Thursday 31 March 2022

Buy now, pay later (BNPL) is becoming more popular, thanks to the seismic shift the retail industry has experienced over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic.

eCommerce: the importance of providing a great customer experience

Written by Marie Pireddu  on  Wednesday 16 February 2022

If your eCommerce has been in business for any amount of time, you already know that offering an amazing product isn’t enough to survive — let alone thrive.
Yes, the products you offer have a huge impact on the future success of your business.
But you can’t rely on product quality alone to attract, engage, and retain your customers. 
In fact, product quality is no longer the main reason consumers will do business with a certain brand. By today’s standards, it’s much more important to deliver a valuable overall experience to your eCommerce customers.

Finding great products to sell on your website and using SEO and PPC ads to drive traffic isn’t enough these days. Everybody does that. But to differentiate your business from the competition – to really stand out – you need to be hyper-focused on your customers.

If you want to stand out, stand apart, as a retailer - small or big - you need to be in the business of creating incredible experiences. The commerce piece is just an attachment that happens to make you money.

Written by Angelina Casanova  on  Thursday 13 January 2022

Society evolves through a digitalized and permanently connected environment. Speed and progress are the keywords of the 21st century, where information is consumed everywhere and all the time thanks to the internet. Many sectors have had to reinvent themselves in order to adapt to these changes, such as the press and radio.  

This is also the case for education: classic courses become boring or uninteresting. Compared to the attractiveness of the screens and the numerous contents they offer, most of the courses are no longer adequate with the evolution of society. 

Learning methods must adapt to these changes, and digital courses are becoming more and more popular! This is why offering an online course app  has many advantages: It is a format adapted to all profiles, depending on the age of your target, and your learning field. Creating an app will allow you to differentiate yourself by upsetting traditional methods thanks to diversified types of content!
