2X eCommerce Podcast

On today’s episode, Kunle is joined by Saksham Sharda, Creative Director at Outgrow, an interactive marketing engagement platform that enables brands to build and launch interactive calculators and viral quizzes that help engage website visitors and generate more leads. eCommerce and DTC businesses pride themselves on offering their customers a wide variety of products to choose from. Yet most of the time we find that visitors browse a bunch of pages but leave without buying anything. This often gets interpreted as a lack of options - when in fact it’s the opposite. Our guest today argues that customers get overwhelmed by too many choices and simply can’t decide what to buy! This is called Decision or Choice Paralysis.  So how can we help customers overcome this dilemma to then click and buy? By giving them a nudge in the right direction so that they quickly zero in on what they came for. This is where interactive marketing content comes in. Creating interactive applets and widgets that fit your products and customers bridges the divide and can lead to higher sales. Kunle and Saksham talk about the why and how of using interactive marketing content. You will get to learn from sample use cases, best practices and creative ideas for interactive content - and how to get it done with simple drag-and-drop tools. This is a great episode for founders, marketers, influencers and anyone looking to understand how interactive marketing content can improve eCommerce conversions! ----------- SPONSORS: This episode is brought to you by: Klaviyo  This episode is brought to you by Klaviyo – a growth marketing platform that powers over 25,000 online businesses.
