Understanding the Digital Shelf?
When a shopper engages with your brand or retail store through a digital touch point, such as an online store or shopping app, they’re interacting with the digital shelf. Shoppers engage with brands and retailers — and discover, research, and buy new products — all on the digital shelf.
Le digital shelf englobe tous les différents points de contacts digitaux utilisés par les consommateurs en interaction avec les marques pour chercher, découvrir et acheter des produits.
• Retail sites
• Direct-to-consumer (DTC) sites
• Third-party (3P) marketplaces
• Shopping apps
• Social commerce
The Difference Between the Digital Shelf and Ecommerce
Without the digital shelf, there would be no ecommerce. While these two concepts may sound like synonyms, each has a unique role to play within our industry.
