While 2020 has thrown us a few curveballs, one thing is certain — eCommerce is here to stay. With more users shopping online than ever before, it’s more important than ever for brands to prioritize digital experience and give customers a reason to come back time and time again. Unfortunately, building a seamless digital experience is easier said than done. 

If there’s one thing this year has taught us, it’s that things can change overnight. That’s especially true for an industry as new and rapidly evolving as eCommerce. But while 89% of companies say they have already adopted a digital-first business strategy or plan to do so, many companies still have a long way to go to meet customers’ rising expectations for digital. 

The truth is the companies that focus on maximizing their digital experiences reduce friction and increase profits. It makes sense right? If you have a great experience with a brand, the more likely you are to shop with them again in the future. 

But, how do you get started? 

In an ever-changing industry like eCommerce, it can be overwhelming to try to stay up-to-date on every trend, news story, and innovative brand campaign – all while keeping up with your day job. That’s why podcasts are the perfect medium to get your weekly dose of CX best practices and trending topics. These quick episodes can easily fit into your commute or morning routine, so you can prioritize learning and find inspiration on the go. This is why lots of brands are launching a podcast to discuss industry issues and share experiences.

To help you optimize your digital experience and stay on top of the latest digital and eCommerce trends, we’ve compiled a brief list of the top CX podcasts you should be listening to. They have the tips, tricks, and brand success stories that can inspire you to create an exceptional digital experience your customers will never forget.
