1.Kooomo 2021: A year in review

    Without a doubt, 2021 has been quite the year for Kooomo! Rebranding, winning prestigious awards, launching successful webinars and brand new features... to name but a few of our biggest moments this year.   In this blog, we took a look back at all the highs and how Kooomo has been making waves in the eCommerce industry.

2.Electronic Commerce: searchability is a crucial issue

  Recent eCommerce surveys indicate that the search bar is the preferred tool by 30% of users of online web stores and services. According to the latest sector data, during 10% of shopping sessions, internal search is used and a quarter of the revenue, about 24%, is generated by the users who use it. 

The searchability that allows the user to find the product they want, therefore, becomes not just an important factor but it’s also capable of decreeing the success or failure of an eCommerce site.

3. 5 things we have learned since retail stores reopened

    In 2021, retailers were reimagining their stores’ inline new consumer habits and CX   became a key differentiator from competitors - with self-service, appointment shopping and click and collect front and centre.    In July, we emphasized topics like omnichannel, the rise of fashion, decrease in home furnishing, good performance of local stores and a dip in retail spending.

4.Black Friday: The best deals from our retailers

 

     Black Friday and Cyber Monday are the best-known shopping events of the year. In this blog, we detailed the most exciting promotions from Irish retailers: Avoca, Celtic Tweeds and Kaliedy.

 

5.SEO Page Titles: Google's latest update

    
 In this  SEO blog, we discussed the purpose of the page titles, as the new Google latest update was released in June.
