1) Consumer behavior is changing, especially with the rise of smartphones and price comparison tools. Consumers now research products online from multiple sources before purchasing.
2) Trust and reviews are becoming increasingly important factors for online consumers. Many will not purchase from a website unless it has strong reviews and certifications of trustworthiness.
3) Ease of use, return policies, and quick delivery are also major priorities for online shoppers. Retailers need to optimize all aspects of the consumer experience, not just conversions, in order to engage customers.
