Hi, I’m Molly Palmer. I’ve seen firsthand the incredible opportunities available to e-commerce sellers in Southeast Asia. Particularly on dominant platforms like Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop. However, I’ve also witnessed the significant challenges that arise when trying to manage a presence across multiple channels. Keeping track of inventory, handling customer inquiries consistently, and processing orders efficiently across different interfaces can quickly become overwhelming. The Important Integration of Shopee, Lazada & TikTok Shop Stores Selling on Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop allows you to reach a wider audience. But it comes with some problems when communicating with many customers simultaneously from multiple platforms. If a store only boosts human agents to process customers inquiries, it would result in responding not in time. Rapid response time is a key factor to determine customer purchase intention in just 1-3 seconds. That’s why shopping assistants are needed to improve customer satisfaction. Because they can handle quantity of customer common inquiries, like delivery time, order status and coupon activities. It’s worth noting that each platform has its unique interfaces, communication protocols, and customer expectations. Without a centralized system, sellers often find themselves constantly switching between dashboards, leading to customer inquiries processing inefficiency and potential […]
In the realm of e-commerce, live chat solutions play a pivotal role in enhancing customer experiences and driving sales. Two prominent players in this space are Gorgias and ShopMate. Both offer robust features aimed at improving customer interactions and conversion rates. This article will delve into a comparative analysis of Gorgias and ShopMate, highlighting their strengths and ultimately concluding that ShopMate holds a slight edge over Gorgias in terms of overall effectiveness and efficiency. Comparative Analysis 1. Customer Support and Sales Opportunities 2. Features and Functionality 3. User Experience and Personalization While Gorgias provides a comprehensive suite of features that enhance customer support and sales, ShopMate’s focus on 24/7 availability, ease of use, and AI-driven personalization gives it a slight advantage. ShopMate’s ability to provide constant support and its user-friendly installation process make it accessible to a wider range of businesses. Furthermore, its AI’s capability to learn and offer personalized recommendations in real-time can significantly boost sales conversion rates, which is a critical factor in the competitive e-commerce landscape. In conclusion, although both Gorgias and ShopMate are powerful live chat solutions, ShopMate’s emphasis on customer-centric features and its AI’s self-learning capabilities for personalized product recommendations make it the better choice […]
April 10, according to the latest data from Marketplace Pulse, more than 60% of the current top 10,000 sellers on Amazon were registered before 2019. Despite thousands of new sellers joining every day, early registered sellers still dominate. Five years ago, half of Amazon’s best-selling sellers already had at least four years of selling experience. And today, that sales threshold has risen to more than six years. Marketplace Pulse’s research shows that sellers who registered before 2016 now account for nearly 30 per cent of the total number of best-selling sellers. While those who registered between 2016 and 2018 each contribute about 10 per cent of the total. While this structure has remained stable in recent years, data shows that nearly 10 per cent of best-selling sellers have registered in the last two years. The market, while barriers have risen, is still penetrative for strategically minded new entrants. However, the vast majority of sellers never reach this height. Less than 8 per cent of all sellers who registered before 2019 are still active today. Activity rates for more recently registered accounts have improved over time, but remain below 20 per cent for sellers registering in 2022. Under 30 per cent […]
In recent years, Shein has become one of the most popular global shopping platforms, especially in the fast fashion sector. However, many customers have noticed a steady increase in prices across the platform. This price hike has caught the attention of both consumers and industry analysts, prompting questions about the factors behind these changes. One of the primary reasons for this surge in Shein’s prices is the increase in tariffs. This article will explore how tariff hikes are impacting Shein’s pricing strategy and contributing to the significant price increases. Tariff Policy Changes: The Driving Force Behind Shein’s Price Surge For a long time, the U.S. “de minimis rule” allowed personal packages valued under $800 to enter the U.S. market without paying tariffs. This policy was a key factor in allowing many cross-border e-commerce platforms, including Shein and Temu, to maintain their low-price strategies. However, the winds are changing. According to multiple financial media reports, the U.S. government plans to eliminate this exemption policy. The new regulation states that starting on May 2, 2025, each package may incur an additional fee of up to $100. Even more concerning, from June 1, the policy could become even stricter, with some imported goods’ […]
