As consumers increasingly turn to cross-border shopping to purchase the products they see online, retailers must also become border agnostic in order to succeed in today’s competitive landscape. According to ESW’s Global Voices 2022 survey, the number of cross-border DTC consumers increased across all age groups between December 2020 and July 2021 with younger Millennial and Gen Z consumers driving this trend. The data revealed that Millennials and Gen Z shoppers are buying significantly more from outside their home countries than Gen X and Baby Boomers, with the younger cohorts preferring to purchase cross-border to access products they cannot find locally. The same survey found that shipping timing and shipping costs are the two biggest deterrents preventing more consumers from shopping across international borders.

Brands integrating with ESW’s Fluency and Symphony DTC solutions can enter both domestic and new international markets in a matter of weeks and access a suite of market-leading ecommerce solutions across store, pricing, payments, checkout, fraud and delivery. ESW’s Velocity consultancy service provides the expertise to execute successful growth initiatives across customer experience, acquisition, and retention, while engaging directly with customers and retaining ownership of all the data collected during the shopping journey.
