Only 6 percent of retailers are seeing conversion rates higher than 10 percent, with most retailers’ rates hovering between 1 and 3 percent. Some of the biggest barriers to increasing conversions are: • A convoluted path to purchase • Static content — or boring product grids — that don’t inspire • Poor omnichannel design These are common ecommerce challenges. The solution to improving ecommerce conversion rates lies in compelling digital shopping experiences that provide value to customers. When done right, relevant content improves awareness and engagement, drives online sales, and increases the lifetime value of customers.

Once they have reached that “gotta have it” mindset, a quick view will help them convert instantly. Without quick views, consumers are left to their own devices. Nothing makes a potential customer lose interest like being forced to search through product grids for something they already know they want.
