148: Transforming Discovery In Retail (part 2)

When the discovery phase of the shopping trip is driven through a search bar or menu, it’s not very inspiring for the customer who doesn’t already know exactly what they’re looking for. So, effective discovery represents a massive opportunity for online retailers. In this episode, Oliver Banks continues the conversation to help you transform the discovery phase of your shopping trip.

Listen to this episode of the Retail Transformation Show to discover (no pun intended):

• Why discovery represents a major opportunity for Amazon (and what they’re doing about it).
• How your online “shop window” may be overwhelming for customers.
• And different aspects that you can deploy or develop to help your customers discover your ranges and propositions.
