When we started planning for our live event with Microsoft’s Ed Noble, we wrote down one goal above all: Show ecommerce pros that adopting AI is actually possible and not just a boardroom talking point. There’s a lot wrong with how the industry talks about AI. It’s vague. It's grandiose. It lacks action. It’s not the fault of the people on the ground. They’ve been promised magical tech without a roadmap to how to adopt it in practical, tactical ways. Of course there’s a buzzword bottleneck. We wanted to fix that. So, we went to the team we know is doing it better than anyone else—Ed and the team at Microsoft. Their story about adopting AI and using it to create amazing customer experiences across hundreds of retail partners is not only inspiring, but it’s also full of tangible takeaways you can replicate at your business. There’s still time to save your (virtual) seat and hear from Ed in our live session on Wednesday. You can register here https://bit.ly/3BIw1bs #Ecommerce #AI #Retail #GenerativeAI

We analyzed 2,500 elements on 125 product pages so you didn't have to. Here are four big takeaways on what ecommerce brands are doing to increase conversion rates on product pages... #Ecommerce #EcommerceStrategy #Merchandising

Product pages are where most customers decide to buy. But there isn’t a lot of differentiation between one site and another. In fact, our analysis of 125 product pages found that 71% of brands use the same seven elements on PDPs: 1. Product imagery (100%) 2. Pricing (96%) 3. Customer reviews (90%) 4. Related product suggestions (89.6%) 5. Interactive elements (68.8%) 6. Shipping information (59.2%) 7. On-page promotions (56.8%) With so much at stake for ecommerce brands, we went looking for big opportunities for differentiating your PDPs and optimizing them for conversion: Use generative AI for personalization Only 16% of product pages are personalized. That makes sense—personalization at scale is hard. Live chat is more prevalent (on 40% of PDPs). But again, that’s difficult and expensive to scale and maintain. Some brands are bridging the gap by using generative AI tools to create personalized product descriptions, imagery, offers, and to answer customer questions. While it’s still early in the gen AI era, companies like Microsoft are seeing conversion rates jump by an average of 25% when using these tools. Translate technical product specs into use cases or benefits Most product specs only make sense to two small groups: product developers and enthusiasts. Most customers are completely lost looking at the spec section of PDPs. The opportunity is in translating these specs into information that customers want to know. For example: • E-TTL II Flash metering = Automatically adjusted flash • 40 dB(A) re 1 pW = This product operates quietly • 10mm midsole drop = Cushioning that’s a balance of comfort and support Add contextual images How do you differentiate your picture of a shoe (or fridge or bike, etc.)? One tactic is to add context to product images. For example, Patagonia goes a step beyond sizing charts and modelled shots by showing what its jackets look like on people of different shapes and sizes. It’s a great strategy for increasing buyer confidence and decreasing returns. Want more ideas for optimizing your product pages for conversion?

Personalization has been a goal of ecommerce brands almost from day 1. But basic personalization doesn't cut it anymore. Want proof? How about the stagnant conversion rates in ecommerce? Or the skyrocketing return rates? The answer is not to look outside of personalization. It’s to double-down on it with micro-moments of personalization. Customers want personalization when they least expect it. They want it on TikTok. At the dog park. At the subway station. When you're looking to dive deeper into personalization in 2025, think about these strategies and take inspiration from these brands ⬇️ #Ecommerce #CustomerExperience #Retail #ProductDiscovery

Getting someone to buy once is hard. Getting them to come back again and again? Insanely difficult.

The conversation about gen AI in ecommerce is usually stopped cold with one word... "How?" That's because the promise of gen AI is a lot nicer than the path there, which takes a massive effort to prep data and months to train the software. Until ecomm companies can find a smoother and shorter path, getting value from gen AI is going to be difficult. That's exactly what Zoovu and Microsoft set out to do—develop an AI solution that could be adopted quickly and used by millions of consumers to discover exactly the right product. That work culminated with the launch of Zoe, our gen AI advisor, a year ago with Microsoft. Today, we took another step forward, making our Azure partnership official and making Zoe available to thousands of ecommerce companies.
