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

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

A survey conducted by Opinion Box, titled "Shopping Cart Abandonment 2022," involving over 2,000 consumers, revealed that 78% of respondents have a habit of abandoning a purchase at the final stage. Shipping costs were the primary motivator for this practice, known as cart abandonment.

Ricardo Nazar, a growth specialist, highlights that cart abandonment is highly detrimental to businesses. "It's crucial to pay attention to this type of behavior so that well-defined strategies can be developed, after all, the customer went through all the steps of the purchase and didn't finalize it. What could have caused this?", explains Nazar.

The research also identified other reasons for cart abandonment, such as cheaper products on other websites (38%), malfunctioning discount coupons (35%), unexpected service or fee charges (32%), and excessively long delivery times (29%).

Nazar suggests a good technique for bringing back lost customers is direct contact. "Whether by email, WhatsApp, or SMS, offering a discount or advantage significantly increases the likelihood of a prospect completing the purchase," says the expert. This strategy is supported by the research numbers, which show that 33% of respondents considered the chance of completing an abandoned purchase "very likely" given an offer from the store.

The research also investigated the factors contributing to purchase decisions on e-commerce platforms. The biggest concern for consumers is falling victim to fraud, with 56% of respondents prioritizing website reliability. Other important aspects include lower prices (52%), promotions and offers (51%), previous purchase experience (21%), ease of navigation (21%), and various payment methods (21%).
