COVID19 has changed the Landscape of how
we go about our daily live. The need to social distance and reduce risk has accelerated
the penetration and frequency of online transactions. Given that more people would
prefer to undertake certain transactions from the comfort of their homes a
highly visible online presence is a must and many businesses are either adding
or shifting to a more online approach to sales. With the ClicFlyer release 3,
we have launched an all new feature for retailers listed on our platform – a
‘BUY ONLINE’ button. This button will be visible directly on the offer page,
giving shoppers the option of visiting the offer listing directly on the brand
/ retailer website, along with other similar offers. The BUY ONLINE button adds
a whole new paradigm to the ClicFlyer shopping experience, as for the first
time, customers can browse offers, and then directly purchase the item online.
ClicFlyer now facilitates the entire shopping journey on the App from discovery
& research to purchase.
Advantages to retailers
Having an E-commerce site is not enough visibility and
access are key to its success. 81% of customer purchase journeys start with
research and ClicFlyer provides high visibility and accessibility of your
offers to a wide active shopper base. Benefits of adding this button to your
offers are countless – from driving more traffic to your site, to reducing the
time spent until conversion, to faster recall for the next purchase, directly purchases
online, to name a few advantages. Another advantage is choosing your own
landing page – either a single offer or range of similar offers, the choice is
yours. Capitalize on the increase in online sales due to the Coronavirus
pandemic. Allow your shoppers to instantly complete their shopping journey in the
same session as the browsing.
Users are also more likely to click on a tile with the
BUY ONLINE icon, since they have the option to purchase it instantly, as
opposed to saving it for a shopping trip later.
How to get the BUY ONLINE button for
your offers
Retailers will have to either
provide deep linking of UTM links for each offer for which a BUY ONLINE button
needs to be placed, this will help track transactions redirected from the
ClicFlyer app or use ClicFlyer services
to extract the links This also helps in building complete activity history. Our
Team will then set up redirection of the offers to your ecommerce website, for
when shoppers click the BUY ONLINE button. Performance metrics will be provided
in terms of BUY ONLINE clicks from the app. ClicFlyer analytic solutions can be
engaged to provide promotion analysis, and to measure & improve conversion
effectiveness.
