The social transition from ‘purchasing’ things to ‘shopping’ was a captivating journey. It gave the power in the hands of the shoppers and empowered the customers to know the product, understand its descriptions and details and make the choice of buying or avoiding it. With shopping, customer experience and satisfaction became a significant need for businesses to grow their sales and attract new audiences. And when social life transitioned into a digital medium, retail brands also took advantage of it to provide a better experience to the customers.
Social commerce is at its peak stage now, and its recent augmentation is the metaverse. The shopping experience with text descriptions, images, videos, and websites has served as well, and undoubtedly it will keep serving businesses and customers in the future too. But it has become normal now, and that is why the next advanced technologies like virtual, augmented, and extended reality experiences are getting rapid attention.
With that, brands and retailers are required to think beyond the store setup, browser window, and apps to keep providing better best customer experience and satisfaction and gain competitive advantages. Businesses have already started preparing for the immersive future, which is believed to be the next stage of e-commerce.
