Anatel releases list of e-commerce sites with illegal mobile ads; amazon and Mercado Livre lead ranking

A Agência Nacional de Telecomunicações (Anatel) revelou na última sexta-feira (21) os resultados de uma fiscalização realizada em sites de comércio eletrônico, focando em anúncios de celulares sem certificação oficial ou que entraram no país de forma irregular. A ação faz parte de uma nova medida cautelar publicada pela agência para combater a pirataria.

De acordo com o relatório, a Amazon e o Mercado Livre apresentaram as piores estatísticas. Na Amazon, 51,52% dos anúncios de celulares eram de produtos não homologados, enquanto no Mercado Livre esse número chegou a 42,86%. Ambas as empresas foram classificadas como “não conformes” e deverão excluir os anúncios irregulares, sob pena de multa e possível retirada dos sites do ar.

Outras empresas, como Lojas Americanas (22,86%) e Grupo Casas Bahia (7,79%), foram consideradas “parcialmente conformes” e também precisarão realizar ajustes. Por outro lado, o Magazine Luiza não apresentou registros de anúncios ilegais, sendo classificado como “conforme”. Shopee e Carrefour, embora sem percentuais divulgados, foram listadas como “conformes” por já terem assumido compromissos com a Anatel.

O presidente da Anatel, Carlos Baigorri, destacou que as negociações com as empresas de e-commerce vêm ocorrendo há cerca de quatro anos. Ele criticou especificamente a Amazon e o Mercado Livre por não terem se engajado no processo colaborativo.

A fiscalização ocorreu entre 1º e 7 de junho, utilizando uma ferramenta de varredura com 95% de precisão. A Anatel informou que, após focar nos celulares, a agência irá investigar outros produtos comercializados ilegalmente sem homologação.

A medida cautelar publicada hoje visa dar mais uma oportunidade para as empresas se adequarem às normas, começando pelos telefones celulares. A Anatel ressaltou que outras empresas, além das sete maiores varejistas citadas, também estão sujeitas às mesmas exigências.

Magazine Luiza and AliExpress announce new partnership in e-commerce

O Magazine Luiza e a AliExpress firmaram um acordo histórico que permitirá a venda cruzada de produtos em suas respectivas plataformas de comércio eletrônico. Esta parceria marca a primeira vez que o marketplace chinês disponibilizará seus produtos para venda por uma empresa estrangeira, em uma estratégia de cross border sem precedentes.

A colaboração visa diversificar o catálogo de ambas as empresas, aproveitando as forças de cada uma. Enquanto a AliExpress é conhecida por sua variedade em itens de beleza e acessórios tecnológicos, o Magazine Luiza tem forte presença no mercado de eletrodomésticos e eletrônicos.

Com esta iniciativa, as duas plataformas, que juntas somam mais de 700 milhões de visitas mensais e 60 milhões de clientes ativos, esperam aumentar significativamente suas taxas de conversão de vendas. As empresas asseguram que não haverá alterações nas políticas tributárias para os consumidores e que as diretrizes do programa Remessa Conforme serão mantidas, incluindo a isenção de taxas para compras inferiores a US$ 50.

O anúncio da parceria foi bem recebido pelo mercado financeiro, resultando em uma valorização de mais de 10% nas ações do Magazine Luiza, que vinham enfrentando uma queda de quase 50% no ano.

Esta colaboração representa um marco importante no cenário do e-commerce brasileiro e internacional, prometendo ampliar as opções de compra para os consumidores e fortalecer a posição de ambas as empresas no mercado.

Deliveries and prices: how to build customer loyalty in e-commerce?

Philip Kotler, in his book “” Marketing Administration, states that winning a new customer costs five to seven times more than maintaining the current ones. After all, for the recurring customer it is not necessary to devote effort in marketing to present the brand and gain confidence. This consumer already knows the company, the service and the products.

In the online environment, this task is more strategic due to the lack of experience face to faceloyalty to customers in e-commerce requires some specific actions to satisfy the consumer, strengthen the relationship and make him buy more often.

The finding may seem obvious, but it is only possible to retain buyers who were satisfied with the experience they had. If they are dissatisfied because of an error in the payment process or in the time-consuming delivery, for example, they may not return and still speak ill of the brand.

On the other hand, loyalty is also advantageous for the consumer. When discovering a reliable e-commerce, with quality products and fair price, good service and on-time deliveries, he does not wear out and starts to see that store as a reference. This generates trust and credibility that the company serves him in the best way.

In this scenario, two elements are fundamental to ensure the loyalty process: deliveries and prices. It is interesting to know some essential strategies to strengthen these operations, especially in the virtual environment:

1) Investment in last-mile 

The last phase of delivery to the consumer is one of the keys to ensure a good experience. In a company with national capillarity, for example, it is essential to close partnerships with local organizations, which can handle deliveries in a more personalized way. In addition, a tip is to promote exchanges and training with regional deliverymen so that the order arrives in perfect condition and with the face of the brand. Finally, this strategy still cheapens costs and reduces consumer freight, bringing a solution to one of the main pains of the online sales market today.

2) Packaging

The time to pack the product is important. Treating each delivery as unique, taking into account the packaging needs and peculiarities of each item is essential to ensure good handling.In addition, customizing deliveries with personalized touches makes the difference, such as handwritten cards, perfume sprayed and sending gifts.

3) Omnichannel

Having data tools and a thorough and careful analysis is fundamental in an enterprise to bring this experience to the consumer. The benefits are numerous. First, there is more assertive communication and smarter strategies when we implement the omnichannel, since the user has a unified experience online and offline. The service becomes even more personalized and accurate.

4) Marketplace

The entry into a wider environment of offers allows varied shopping options. Thus, it is possible to meet the most diverse needs of the public, bringing alternatives to all tastes and styles. Today, the tool has become essential for e-commerce. It is necessary to offer diversified options, with assertive solutions to the demands of the public, as well as focus on different offers with low price options.

5) Inclusion

Finally, thinking about inclusive platforms enables democratic service and reaches an even larger audience. Offering purchases by phone or WhatsApp, as well as serving people in a personalized way by SAC are alternatives widely used today.

Online stores should invest in ERP, says expert

According to an analysis by the Brazilian Electronic Commerce Association (ABComm), Brazilian e-commerce is expected to reach a revenue of R$ 91.5 billion in the second half of 2023. The balance also points out that sales in the sector are expected to increase 95% by 2025. Globally, the Global Payments Report, released by Worldpay from FIS, projects a growth of 55.3% in the next three years for the segment.

Mateus Toledo, CEO of MT Solutions, a company that offers solutions for e-commerce, believes that the growing adhesion of Brazilians to online shopping will boost the business of the sector. In this sense, according to Toledo, an ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning, in the acronym in English 'Integrated Management System, in Portuguese) is one of the elements that can assist in e-commerce practices.

“A good ERP can assist in all management of a business, organizing information and data that are essential within the work routine of a” manager, says Toledo.“O ERP assists in store inventory control, financial control, issuance of invoices and slips, customer registration and products, among others”, he adds.

ERP tools and strategies in constant evolution

“A proof of this is that organizations brought the product team of their companies to the three largest e-commerce events that took place in Brazil this year. Note the openness and respect for Brazilian entrepreneurs so that, in a brief period, news and improvements appear on these platforms”, concludes the expert.

Cart abandonment is harmful and should be reversed, says expert
