Pourquoi les banques devraient vendre du commerce électronique

7 min read

What do you think of when you think of the word ecommerce? What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you hear the term?

Pour beaucoup de gens, il peut s'agir d'acheter auprès de grands détaillants en ligne comme Amazon ou Alibaba. Pour les autres, il peut s'agir de vendre des t-shirts et des bibelots sur des plateformes comme eBay ou Etsy.

Mais à bien des égards, le commerce électronique est bien plus que la simple vente de biens physiques en ligne. Pour certaines industries et entreprises, comme les banques, le commerce électronique est un moyen d'en savoir plus sur leurs clients, collecter et exploiter davantage de données clients, identifier et s'engager dans- et des opportunités de vente incitative - et, en fin de compte, générer un revenu moyen plus élevé par utilisateur (ou client). Et à la fin de la journée, making more money for you and your business is what it’s really all about, droit?

So let’s learn a bit about why banks should be selling ecommerce to their customers.

1. Drive traffic to your site

Ces jours-ci, with inflation rising and supply chain disruptions threatening product availability and price points, it seems like everyone is focused on getting a good value — the mostbang for their buck,” pour ainsi dire. It’s why bundles and combos are so popular: rather than pay for and pick up a single item at a handful of separate stores, many customers prefer aone-and-doneapproach to shopping where they only have to make one stop.

Pensez-y: if you’re craving fast food burgers and fries, despite your preferences for specific restaurants, it’s unlikely that you’re going to go to one restaurant for the sandwich, another restaurant for the fries, another restaurant for the chicken tenders, another restaurant for a milkshake, another restaurant for soda

If a customer can purchase more than one service from your business, qui le rend automatiquement plus attrayant pour eux. Le secteur bancaire est assez concurrentiel, et au-delà des produits de base proposés par de nombreuses banques - comptes chèques et comptes d'épargne, prêts personnels et professionnels, produits basés sur des taux d'intérêt élevés, et ainsi de suite - de nombreuses banques recherchent de nouveaux produits et services qu'elles peuvent proposer pour susciter l'intérêt des clients. Offrir le commerce électronique à vos clients bancaires qui recherchent des services pour leur entreprise peut donc être une victoire facile.

2. Accéder à plus de données

You probably already collect a fair amount of your customers’ données. Anytime they engage in banking transactions or buy your bank’s products and services, your business accumulates that data, which it can use in a number of ways — we’ll get into that more below.

By selling ecommerce alongside your more traditional banking products, you’ll addd another insight-rich data stream to your business: what services your customers are selling, what products aren’t selling, the volume of their sales and revenue, et ainsi de suite.

This can give your business a fuller picture and profile of your customers and their habits and financial dreams, which can help inform how you manage your relationship and do business with them in the future.

3. Identify cross- and upsell opportunities

As part of that greater data collection, you’ll gain a greater awareness of your customersmotivations and business goals. Cette, à son tour, can help you pinpoint which of your customers would be most likely to buy additional goods and services from your bank — as well as what goods and services they’re most interested in.

Par exemple, some of your new ecommerce customers might not be aware of all of the banking products you have on hand that can help them grow their business, so you’ll have the chance to cross-sell them on those things, bringing in more revenue to your business.

You may also have some existing bank customers who, after utilizing your new ecommerce services and launching their own online store, find that they need more of your higher-end products — a business credit card with a higher limit, money market accounts, basic payroll services, etc. — giving you an opportunity to upsell them on your bank’s more exclusive features.

4. Keep up with competitors

Whether or not votre bank is serious about providing ecommerce services to its customers, vous avez peut-être remarqué que de nombreuses autres banques de tailles diverses ont commencé à offrir à leurs clients la possibilité de créer une boutique en ligne (ou, comme Bank of America, ont mis en place leur propre!).

Vous avez peut-être également vu plusieurs grands détaillants en ligne, y compris Walmart, Alibaba, et Rakuten, qui ont exprimé leur intérêt ou ont pris des mesures pour devenir eux-mêmes une banque. Ce brouillage des frontières entre les détaillants et les banques ne fera que devenir plus courant sur les marchés occidentaux et fait déjà partie de la structure de facto du marché dans des endroits comme La chine et Japon.

Alors que les consommateurs se tournent vers les entreprises et les institutions qu'ils fréquentent pour offrir plus qu'un ou deux services de base, Le commerce électronique offre aux banques un moyen simple de mieux anticiper les besoins de leurs clients et de commencer à développer leur suite de services. Banks that continue to focus solely on selling banking products risk being left behind in an increasingly competitive marketplace.

We hope the information above has been helpful, but look: the bottom line is that selling ecommerce helps your bank’s bottom line. As a bank, if your exposure to ecommerce has been limited — maybe a basic online portal and some payment processing — your business is leaving a lot of money on the table.

So we want to hear from you! Does your bank or the bank you do business with offer robust ecommerce services alongside its banking products, or is their ecommerce offering more basic and simple? Laissez-nous savoir dans les commentaires!

I like that Ecwid was easy to start and to use. Even for a person like me, without any technical background. Very well written help articles. And the support team is the best for my opinion.
For everything it has to offer, ECWID is incredibly easy to set up. Highly recommend! I did a lot of research and tried about 3 other competitors. Just try ECWID and you'll be online in no time.
