The top November 2017 eCommerce ideas offer a look at the many ways shopping of the future has the potential to be reshaped with everything from personalization through artificial intelligence to online-to-offline services that will provide even greater convenience to consumers.
Amazon recently made headlines with its newest service, Amazon Key, which makes it possible for Amazon Prime members to have packages dropped off directly within their home, provided they have its Cloud Cam and compatible smart lock.
The conventional web shop page is also being transformed with an emphasis on transparent sourcing, as well as artificial intelligence for the purposes of matching a product to a particular consumer and in the case of something like clothing, ensuring it will be the right fit with an AI model.
