#417: Staying competitive in Ecommerce with Steve Denton, CEO at Ware2Go, a UPS Company
The Agile Brand with Greg Kihlström®: Expert Mode Marketing Technology, AI, & CX
Recent data from Ware2Go, a UPS Company, found that 89% of consumers are comparison shopping on 2+ marketplaces before they make a purchase. The same research found that 89% of consumers would consider purchasing through an online marketing place they have not previously shopped on in the next year.
To me, this means three things - one, that competition is steeper than ever, two, that there is dwindling loyalty in the online marketplaces, and three, that there is opportunity for new or competitor entrants in online marketplaces if they are able to create the right type of end-to-end customer experience.
Today we’re going to talk about all three of these aspects, and I’m thrilled to have a guest today with extensive experience in both his time as an executive at companies like eBay as well as his current position at Ware2Go, a UPS Company.
To help me discuss this topic, I’d like to welcome Steve Denton, CEO at Ware2Go.

SYNOPSIS
In this episode, the exciting development of new AI technology is discussed, which allows brands to predict potential delays in package delivery. This capability enables brands to proactively reach out to consumers and inform them about any potential delays, which is particularly important for audiences who prioritize timely delivery. By utilizing AI technology, brands can identify potential delays and take necessary actions to mitigate the issue.
This predictive capability is made possible through customer segmentation. For instance, brands can provide special attention and a "white glove treatment" to first-time buyers or customers who haven't made a purchase in a long time. This personalized approach not only helps manage customer expectations but also enhances the overall delivery experience.
Overall, AI technology plays a crucial role in enhancing the delivery experience by enabling brands to predict and address potential delays. By leveraging customer segmentation and personalized approaches, brands can ensure that their customers receive a flawless commerce logistics experience. This is particularly important in a competitive landscape where customer loyalty is declining, and consumers are open to trying new online marketplaces. Therefore, brands must prioritize the delivery experience and leverage AI technology to stay competitive and drive conversion rates.
