By Nick Sabean
As we navigate the ever-changing e-commerce landscape, one thing is clear: understanding customer behavior is not just important; it's crucial in driving profit. With global e-commerce sales projected to surpass $7.5 trillion in 2024, businesses can no longer rely on intuition alone to inform their strategies. Instead, they must harness the power of Customer Journey Analytics and decision intelligence to make data-driven decisions, enlightening them about the current e-commerce landscape.
