#on-demand ecommerce marketplace

[mariacallous]

In 2023, the fast-fashion giant Shein was everywhere. Crisscrossing the globe, airplanes ferried small packages of its ultra-cheap clothing from thousands of suppliers to tens of millions of customer mailboxes in 150 countries. Influencers’ “#sheinhaul” videos advertised the company’s trendy styles on social media, garnering billions of views.

At every step, data was created, collected, and analyzed. To manage all this information, the fast fashion industry has begun embracing emerging AI technologies. Shein uses proprietary machine-learning applications — essentially, pattern-identification algorithms — to measure customer preferences in real time and predict demand, which it then services with an ultra-fast supply chain.

As AI makes the business of churning out affordable, on-trend clothing faster than ever, Shein is among the brands under increasing pressure to become more sustainable, too. The company has pledged to reduce its carbon dioxide emissions by 25 percent by 2030 and achieve net-zero emissions no later than 2050.

But climate advocates and researchers say the company’s lightning-fast manufacturing practices and online-only business model are inherently emissions-heavy — and that the use of AI software to catalyze these operations could be cranking up its emissions. Those concerns were amplified by Shein’s third annual sustainability report, released late last month, which showed the company nearly doubled its carbon dioxide emissions between 2022 and 2023.

“AI enables fast fashion to become the ultra-fast fashion industry, Shein and Temu being the fore-leaders of this,” said Sage Lenier, the executive director of Sustainable and Just Future, a climate nonprofit. “They quite literally could not exist without AI.” (Temu is a rapidly rising ecommerce titan, with a marketplace of goods that rival Shein’s in variety, price, and sales.)

In the 12 years since Shein was founded, it has become known for its uniquely prolific manufacturing, which reportedly generated over $30 billion of revenue for the company in 2023. Although estimates vary, a new Shein design may take as little as 10 days to become a garment, and up to 10,000 items are added to the site each day. The company reportedly offers as many as 600,000 items for sale at any given time with an average price tag of roughly $10. (Shein declined to confirm or deny these reported numbers.) One market analysis found that 44 percent of Gen Zers in the United States buy at least one item from Shein every month.

That scale translates into massive environmental impacts. According to the company’s sustainability report, Shein emitted 16.7 million total metric tons of carbon dioxide in 2023 — more than what four coal power plants spew out in a year. The company has also come under fire for textile waste, high levels of microplastic pollution, and exploitative labor practices. According to the report, polyester — a synthetic textile known for shedding microplastics into the environment — makes up 76 percent of its total fabrics, and only 6 percent of that polyester is recycled.

And a recent investigation found that factory workers at Shein suppliers regularly work 75-hour weeks, over a year after the company pledged to improve working conditions within its supply chain. Although Shein’s sustainability report indicates that labor conditions are improving, it also shows that in third-party audits of over 3,000 suppliers and subcontractors, 71 percent received a score of C or lower on the company’s grade scale of A to E — mediocre at best.

Machine learning plays an important role in Shein’s business model. Although Peter Pernot-Day, Shein’s head of global strategy and corporate affairs, told Business Insider last August that AI was not central to its operations, he indicated otherwise during a presentation at a retail conference at the beginning of this year.

“We are using machine-learning technologies to accurately predict demand in a way that we think is cutting edge,” he said. Pernot-Day told the audience that all of Shein’s 5,400 suppliers have access to an AI software platform that gives them updates on customer preferences, and they change what they’re producing to match it in real time.

“This means we can produce very few copies of each garment,” he said. “It means we waste very little and have very little inventory waste.” On average, the company says it stocks between 100 to 200 copies of each item — a stark contrast with more conventional fast-fashion brands, which typically produce thousands of each item per season, and try to anticipate trends months in advance. Shein calls its model “on-demand,” while a technology analyst who spoke to Vox in 2021 called it “real-time” retail.

At the conference, Pernot-Day also indicated that the technology helps the company pick up on “micro trends” that customers want to wear. “We can detect that, and we can act on that in a way that I think we’ve really pioneered,” he said. A designer who filed a recent class action lawsuit in a New York District Court alleges that the company’s AI market analysis tools are used in an “industrial-scale scheme of systematic, digital copyright infringement of the work of small designers and artists,” that scrapes designs off the internet and sends them directly to factories for production.

In an emailed statement to Grist, a Shein spokesperson reiterated Peter Pernot-Day’s assertion that technology allows the company to reduce waste and increase efficiency and suggested that the company’s increased emissions in 2023 were attributable to booming business. “We do not see growth as antithetical to sustainability,” the spokesperson said.

An analysis of Shein’s sustainability report by the Business of Fashion, a trade publication, found that last year, the company’s emissions rose at almost double the rate of its revenue — making Shein the highest-emitting company in the fashion industry. By comparison, Zara’s emissions rose half as much as its revenue. For other industry titans, such as H&M and Nike, sales grew while emissions fell from the year before.

Shein’s emissions are especially high because of its reliance on air shipping, said Sheng Lu, a professor of fashion and apparel studies at the University of Delaware. “AI has wide applications in the fashion industry. It’s not necessarily that AI is bad,” Lu said. “The problem is the essence of Shein’s particular business model.”

Other major brands ship items overseas in bulk, prefer ocean shipping for its lower cost, and have suppliers and warehouses in a large number of countries, which cuts down on the distances that items need to travel to consumers.

According to the company’s sustainability report, 38 percent of Shein’s climate footprint comes from transportation between its facilities and to customers, and another 61 percent come from other parts of its supply chain. Although the company is based in Singapore and has suppliers in a handful of countries, the majority of its garments are produced in China and are mailed out by air in individually addressed packages to customers. In July, the company sent about 900,000 of these to the US every day.

Shein’s spokesperson told Grist that the company is developing a decarbonization road map to address the footprint of its supply chain. Recently, the company has increased the amount of inventory it stores in US warehouses, allowing it to offer American customers quicker delivery times, and increased its use of cargo ships, which are more carbon-efficient than cargo planes.

“Controlling the carbon emissions in the fashion industry is a really complex process,” Lu said, adding that many brands use AI to make their operations more efficient. “It really depends on how you use AI.”

There is research that indicates using certain AI technologies could help companies become more sustainable. “It’s the missing piece,” said Shahriar Akter, an associate dean of business and law at the University of Wollongong in Australia. In May, Akter and his colleagues published a study finding that when fast-fashion suppliers used AI data management software to comply with big brands’ sustainability goals, those companies were more profitable and emitted less. A key use of this technology, Atker says, is to closely monitor environmental impacts, such as pollution and emissions. “This kind of tracking was not available before AI-based tools,” he said.

Shein told Grist it does not use machine-learning data management software to track emissions, which is one of the uses of AI included in Akter’s study. But the company’s much-touted usage of machine-learning software to predict demand and reduce waste is another of the uses of AI included in the research.

Regardless, the company has a long way to go before meeting its goals. Grist calculated that the emissions Shein reportedly saved in 2023 — with measures such as providing its suppliers with solar panels and opting for ocean shipping — amounted to about 3 percent of the company’s total carbon emissions for the year.

Lenier, from Sustainable and Just Future, believes there is no ethical use of AI in the fast-fashion industry. She said that the largely unregulated technology allows brands to intensify their harmful impacts on workers and the environment. “The folks who work in fast-fashion factories are now under an incredible amount of pressure to turn out even more, even faster,” she said.

Lenier and Lu both believe that the key to a more sustainable fashion industry is convincing customers to buy less. Lu said if companies use AI to boost their sales without changing their unsustainable practices, their climate footprints will also grow accordingly. “It’s the overall effect of being able to offer more market-popular items and encourage consumers to purchase more than in the past,” he said. “Of course, the overall carbon impact will be higher.”

Festive Rush Sparks Speed War: Quick Commerce & E-commerce Battle For Fastest Deliveries

SUMMARY

Same-day and next-day deliveries have grown 4–5X during peak periods, now accounting for 12–15% of total ecommerce deliveries, which is a big leap from almost zero just 18 months ago

While fast delivery services are in high demand, they come with operational challenges. One of the biggest hurdles is optimising inventory placement

As the industry stands at the precipice of super-fast deliveries, building an efficient supply chain will be the most critical element for the long-term sustainability of India’s quick delivery realm

This festive season will be all about the��need for speed, as ecommerce majors have now entered the paradigm of swift deliveries (same day or next day), pivoting from their earlier timeline of 4–5 days.

Making the game of deliveries insanely difficult to play will be quick-commerce players that are expected to capture the majority of the customer base seeking instant gratification. All in all, ecommerce platforms will be seen upping the ante in staying ahead of the delivery curve and ensuring that no shopper is left craving amid the festive rush.

However, this shift in ecommerce behavior has been in the making for some time, and the trigger has been the maturity of the Indian quick delivery ecosystem, which currently drives 40% of online grocery sales.

Over the past year, ecommerce marketplaces have made significant strides in enhancing delivery speed, introducing same-day and next-day services to cater to customer demands. A vibrant example is Flipkart, which, at the start of the year, announced that it would offer same-day delivery across multiple product categories at no additional cost.

With the market at stake, Amazon followed suit, while beauty platform Nykaa and fashion site Myntra began testing same-day delivery options. Witnessing this, many D2C brands are also adapting to remain competitive.

While they may not match online marketplaces in order volume, they’re eager to offer quicker delivery options to stay competitive. A case in point is GenZ-focused fashion startup NEWME, which recently launched 90-minute delivery for its products in select Delhi NCR areas.

“Speaking with Inc42, logistics experts said that the demand for fast delivery has surged dramatically compared to last year’s festive sales. Same-day and next-day deliveries have grown 4–5X during peak periods of festive sales, now accounting for 12–15% of total ecommerce deliveries, which is a big leap from almost zero just 18 months ago.”

This surge comes as ecommerce firms like Amazon, Flipkart, and Meesho are expected to register a 20% year-on-year rise in gross merchandise value, generating sales in the range of INR 1 Lakh Cr to 1.2 Lakh Cr this festive season, according to Redseer Strategy Consultants. Quick commerce is anticipated to contribute around 8% to this overall growth.

Festive Rush Paves The Way For 5X Surge In Same-Day Delivery

Speaking with Inc42, COO of Ecom Express, Vishwachetan Nadamani, said that during the festive season, the speed of deliveries naturally improves due to increased demand, with line-haul trucks operating more frequently. However, the surge in fast delivery requests is more pronounced this year.

Therefore, the executive added that the company has rolled out same-day delivery and next-day deliveries in India’s top 10 metro cities, with the infrastructure fully established to support these services.

Meanwhile, Shadowfax’s cofounder and chief business officer, Praharsh Chandra, said that the company is well prepared to tackle the same or next-day delivery rush.

“We started focussing on fast delivery with both brands and marketplaces about a year and a half ago. Back then, the industry had 0% same-day delivery, but now 10–14% of all intra-city orders are delivered the same day,” Chandra said.”

Chandra noted that this trend is gaining momentum as we are nearing the peak sales season. “In fact, our same-day delivery channel saw five times growth in just one day, on the second day of the sales. We experienced some very high peaks,” he said.

Chandra sees a clear shift in consumer behaviour here, with more and more customers now wanting instant gratification. “Even for nearby zones, like orders from Bangalore to Mysore, which used to take two days, people now expect next-day deliveries,” he said.

The sentiment is being echoed across the industry. For instance, Zippee’s founder & CEO, Madhav Kasturia, sees registering 6–8X growth as all its partner brands continue to scale during the festive season.

Fast Delivery Fever Grips All Categories

Fast delivery demand has risen across categories this festive season. Electronics, beauty and personal care, fashion, and home goods have seen strong interest, with mobile phones being the most popular choice. Interestingly, on the first day of sales, Shadowfax delivered 15,000 iPhones.

However, the demand landscape is not solely dominated by electronics. Categories such as beauty and personal care, fashion, and home goods are also seeing high demand, with brands like Decathlon experiencing increased sales of sports goods, showing that consumers are diversifying their purchases.

“There’s demand in various categories. However, it’s crucial to focus on where the concentration of that demand is and whether brands have optimised their supply chains with warehouses in these top metros,” the Ecom Express COO said.”

So far, demand for fast delivery is highest in metro cities like Bangalore, Mumbai, and Delhi. However, this trend is not limited to urban areas. Brands are now stocking inventory in Tier II and Tier III cities like Patna, Jaipur, and Guwahati to offer faster delivery options in these regions as well.

Navigating The Complexities Of Fast Delivery

While fast delivery services are in high demand, they come with operational challenges. One of the biggest hurdles is optimising inventory placement. Quick deliveries not only require faster transportation but also strategic positioning of inventory closer to customers.

This requires maintaining fewer pin codes per dark store, which complicates logistics, Zippee’s Kasturia said, adding that the logistics startup was addressing it by establishing localised inventory hubs, enabling quicker access and more streamlined delivery routes.

Additionally, the rising demand for same-day deliveries translates to an increased need for delivery riders, resulting in escalating costs month after month. During peak seasons, the volume can increase by 4–5X, necessitating supplementary capacity through hyperlocal delivery fleets.

“Historically, logistics have a rigid model where shipments from multiple clients are picked up, sent to a central sortation centre, and then dispatched to last-mile hubs. That entire process used to take around 16 hours. But for same-day delivery, we can’t afford that kind of delay. So, we have restructured the supply chain to bypass certain nodes when possible. This is both a technology and operational shift,” Shadowfax’s Chandra said.

While same and next-day deliveries typically carry a premium — around 25% higher than express delivery — logistics startups are actively working to optimise operational costs. By increasing order volumes and refining their processes, many have reduced the cost difference to approximately 5–10% compared to regular delivery.

Now, as the industry stands at the precipice of super-fast deliveries, building an efficient supply chain will be the most critical element for the long-term sustainability of India’s quick delivery realm. Visit Website For More Details: https://www.shadowfax.in/

Print on Demand Supplements: Everything You Need to Know

Print on demand fulfillment is a competitive business model in which every online retailer attempts to drive traffic to their online store in order to increase profits. As a result, it is advantageous to consider products with high demand that will continue to grow. If you decide to sell print on demand supplements, there are a few things you should keep in mind when setting up your e-commerce store and offering potential customers the products they want.

The Market for Nutritional Supplements Continues to Grow

According to Precedence Research, the global nutritional supplements market was valued at US$ 335.24 billion in 2021 and is expected to exceed US$ 624.7 billion by 2030, growing at a 7.1% CAGR between 2022 and 2030. 

The changing consumption pattern, increased fast-food consumption, sedentary lifestyle of the consumer, busy and hectic schedule, and lack of proper diet maintenance are the factors responsible for the growing need for nutritional supplements. Growing health consciousness, rising disposable income, rising consumer expenditure on health and wellness products, and demand for a healthy and active lifestyle are the major factors driving growth in the global nutritional supplement markets.

The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 increased consumers' consumption of nutritional supplements to maintain strong immunity. The demand for nutritional supplements increased dramatically in North America and Europe in 2020, and this trend is expected to continue throughout the forecast period.

Benefits of Selling Print on Demand Supplements?

1. Supplements are an ideal fulfillment product. 

Supplements are an excellent fulfillment product because they are so simple to store, pack, and ship. This is because they are small, lightweight, and non-perishable. The more heavy, bulky, and perishable a product, the more difficult it is to make it profitable in the eCommerce fulfillment model.

2. Nutritional supplements have high retail prices. 

Remember that you want a product that will give you a good return. In other words, you need a high-profit margin to make selling a product worthwhile. If the margin is razor thin, selling it to customers may not be in your best interests. Fortunately, nutritional supplements can be highly profitable if you find a print on demand fulfillment provider with the right wholesale pricing.

3. Consumers are likely to become repeat customers.

Dietary supplements, like food, are a product that is consumed daily. That's fantastic news! If you provide an excellent customer experience, reasonable prices, and customer service, one-time visitors will likely become repeat customers. They will continue to shop at your store and come to you for the goods.

What You Need to Watch Out For

1. Not every supplement supplier is good.

There is no doubt that some suppliers are superior to others. To run a profitable supplement business. You must select the right supplier. This includes a supplier with a large inventory, competitive wholesale prices, and tools to help you track sales and store growth.

2. You have an extra responsibility for your customers’ health. 

You bear an additional responsibility for your customers' health if you sell print on demand supplements. That means you must be careful to only provide high-quality products on which your customers can rely - they are putting their trust in you, so give them the best!

3. Print on demand can be a crowded marketplace. 

Because the print on demand model is so simple to implement, it can be extremely competitive. Everyone wants a good deal, and there is much print on demand companies to choose from. That means you must prioritize providing good prices and connecting with your customers - the most important aspect of your store.

Conclusion

It's important to remember that consumers prefer natural options over synthetic ones when printing on demand supplements. Remember that there is a general trend toward healthier products, and most consumers are willing to pay a premium for natural and organic products. This maintains your profit margins and keeps your e-commerce store busy!

Choose The Right Print on Demand Service Provider!

So, now that we've established that print on demand is a fantastic business model and supplements are a fantastic product, let's talk about finding the right partner. This is the most crucial step in the process of establishing your print on demand operation.

What qualities do you need in a print on demand company? You'd like them to have the following:

Great wholesale prices 

A comprehensive inventory

[ithiliien]

for (fellow) Etsy sellers who are now looking for alternatives, here's what i found after some (brief) research!* *please double check my work and let me know if i should remove/add anything from this list!

CENTRAL MARKETPLACE OPTIONS

these are sites that work like etsy, where you can see products from all stores on the platform through one search function. these will be best for people who don't have a specific following or social media presence, as the audience will come to your shop through the marketplace. ARTISANS COOPERATIVE—artisans.coop born out of an etsy strike, this site functions extremely similarly to etsy with a few important changes—it's member-owned rather than Big Corporate-owned, and there is a thorough vetting and verification process to ensure that products being sold are genuinely handmade, so as to avoid dropshippers. one thing to note is that if you use print on demand services such as printful, this may not be the place for you—artisans coop only allows PoD services for 2d goods of things like photography and illustration, meaning if you sell PoD mugs with your artwork on them, that won't be allowed here. additionally, they're still in beta, which means you have to become a member (for a fee of $100USD or $1000USD) to be able to open up a shop, at least currently. GOIMAGINE—goimagine.com [when i searched free palestine on their site, nothing related to palestine came up. now this could be just because they have a smaller userbase and no one has made anything palestine-related, but given the general white usamerican christian vibes from the site, i'm not totally sure that's the case. anyhow, i chose to include it for the sake of providing options, but please (once again) do your own research] this place seems kinda cool—all of the profits that goimagine (not the sellers!) make get donated to a handful of charities that help children!

FOLKSY—folksy.com only available to UK sellers, but seems like a fairly similar concept to etsy. nothing came up when i searched "free palestine," though, so might be worth doing a bit more digging about.

INDEPENDENT ONLINE SHOP OPTIONS

these are places that will help/allow you to put your products on your own shop website, (sometimes) with your own domain/url. these are generally better for folks who have an audience or social media following and can direct traffic to your website that way.

SHOPIFY—shopify.com probably the most well-known/common way to run an online shop. (i think) you can create your website through shopify, or connect it to other web builders. it has a lot of different plan options, but none of them are free. the cheapest one starts at $5USD/month but doesn't give you a website as far as i can tell? generally kind of difficult to figure out what you can do without starting an account with them, which i don't want to do yet (so if anyone uses shopify and can help clarify this, that would be appreciated!)

BIGCARTEL—bigcartel.com bigcartel gives you a website where you can sell your own products, and they have a free plan! you don't get a custom domain and can only have up to five products up for sale at a time, but you can upgrade your plan for more products/other features. i've used them before, it worked great for the short-term project i needed it for (but would be great for long term shops as well, i just don't have long-term use experience with it)

INDIEMADE—indiemade.com like bigcartel but seems marketed/designed more for smaller/handmade stuff? cheapest plan is $5USD/mo and lets you have ten products; $12.50USD/mo lets you have 250. has options to sync/connect with etsy, which would make transitioning fairly simple!

SQUARESPACE—squarespace.com a website builder that has robust ecommerce features, but the cheapest ecommerce plan is $28USD/mo. although it seems like on their $23USD/mo plan you can also sell things, but they charge a higher transaction fee and that plan doesn't include "powerful merchandising," whatever that means.

i'm not sure where i'll be moving to, but if/when i decide (and if i remember), i'll update you with what i pick and how i like it!

i hope this helps <3

I'm not buying from Etsy now

Building a Successful Online Business: The Importance of Ecommerce Website Development and Design

In the digital era, an effective ecommerce website is the backbone of any online business. Whether you’re a budding entrepreneur or an established brand, a well-developed and designed ecommerce website can significantly enhance your business reach, boost conversions, and help you stand out in a competitive marketplace. In this article, we’ll delve into the key elements of successful ecommerce website development, the importance of user-focused ecommerce website design, and how to create a platform that offers both functionality and an outstanding shopping experience.

The Essentials of Ecommerce Website Development

1. Customized Functionality

Ecommerce website development involves more than setting up a basic online storefront. Every business has unique requirements, and a professional developer tailors the website to fit those needs. This includes customized product pages, advanced search and filter options, inventory management, and payment processing systems. Investing in custom development ensures that your website is optimized to handle the specific demands of your business model, whether it’s handling a high volume of transactions, managing complex inventory systems, or providing a unique user experience.

For instance, if your business requires subscription models, integrated payment gateways, or bulk ordering features, a professional development team can incorporate these features seamlessly. Custom functionality not only improves efficiency but also enhances customer satisfaction by providing an easy-to-navigate, intuitive ecommerce website.

2. Scalability for Future Growth

A successful ecommerce website should be built with scalability in mind. As your business grows, so will your need for additional features, inventory space, and data handling capabilities. Effective ecommerce website development plans for this by building a site that can expand without compromising performance. This includes designing an architecture that can support additional categories, new product lines, and increased traffic.

Scalability is a key component of any ecommerce platform, and investing in scalable solutions ensures that your website adapts to growth rather than being overwhelmed by it. By choosing a development approach that anticipates future needs, you avoid costly and time-consuming overhauls down the line.

3. Security and Compliance

In an era where data privacy is paramount, security is non-negotiable for ecommerce businesses. Customers need to trust that their information is safe, especially when it comes to payment processing. A well-developed ecommerce website incorporates encryption protocols, secure payment gateways, and compliance with regulations such as PCI-DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard). These measures safeguard sensitive information, protect against cyber threats, and build trust with your customers.

Additionally, adherence to legal standards—such as GDPR if you operate in or serve customers in the EU—is essential. Secure development practices protect your business from legal repercussions and foster a positive brand reputation.

The Power of Effective Ecommerce Website Design

While development focuses on functionality, ecommerce website design centers around user experience (UX). A visually appealing, user-friendly design is essential for driving engagement and conversion.

1. User-Centered Design

User-centered design is a crucial aspect of a successful ecommerce website. From intuitive navigation and streamlined checkout processes to mobile-responsive layouts, effective design helps guide customers smoothly from product discovery to purchase. When customers can easily find what they need, they’re more likely to complete their transactions, which directly impacts your conversion rates.

Professional designers ensure that every aspect of the website—from the homepage to the checkout page—is optimized to enhance user experience. Clear calls-to-action, easy-to-navigate categories, and informative product pages contribute to a pleasant shopping experience, encouraging users to return.

2. Mobile Optimization

With the majority of online traffic coming from mobile devices, responsive design is essential for any ecommerce website. Mobile users expect fast-loading pages, touch-friendly navigation, and a seamless experience across all devices. Mobile optimization isn’t simply about resizing elements; it involves rethinking the design to ensure all elements are accessible and functional on smaller screens.

A mobile-optimized ecommerce website enhances user experience, reduces bounce rates, and increases the likelihood of conversions from mobile users. When your website design is responsive, customers can shop with ease, no matter what device they’re using.

3. Visual Appeal and Brand Consistency

The aesthetics of your ecommerce website play a significant role in building brand identity and attracting customers. A consistent color scheme, typography, and brand elements convey professionalism and build brand recognition. Well-designed visuals—such as product images, banners, and icons—can help your ecommerce website stand out and make a lasting impression on visitors.

Additionally, the layout should be clean, with enough whitespace to avoid overwhelming the user. This visual approach emphasizes products and calls-to-action, guiding users naturally through the shopping process. By investing in high-quality design, you create a website that reflects your brand’s values and keeps customers engaged.

Integrating SEO Best Practices in Ecommerce Website Development and Design

An ecommerce website is only as effective as its ability to attract organic traffic. By integrating SEO practices into both development and design, your website becomes more discoverable by search engines, ultimately driving more visitors to your store.

1. On-Page SEO Optimization

Incorporating on-page SEO elements like optimized product descriptions, meta tags, and keyword-friendly URLs helps your ecommerce website rank higher in search engine results. This means more visibility for your products and, ultimately, higher sales. Ensure that images are properly tagged with alt text and that page titles and descriptions are clear and keyword-rich.

2. Fast Loading Speeds

A slow website can deter customers and negatively impact search rankings. Developers work to optimize images, leverage caching, and minimize code to improve load times. Additionally, by selecting a reliable hosting provider, you ensure a fast, seamless experience for all users, which can improve SEO performance.

3. Rich Content and Blogs

Content marketing plays an essential role in ecommerce SEO. Adding a blog to your ecommerce website allows you to share valuable information, build authority, and rank for long-tail keywords. By regularly publishing quality content, such as product reviews, buying guides, and tips, you attract and retain customers who are interested in what you have to offer.
