Octane Marketing (octane.in) said, “2015 is a year of digital for India Retailers. We see a rise in usage of Social Media and a continued importance of Email & SMS Marketing. The larger deployment of Cart Abandonment Program can add 10-15% additional revenue to e-Commerce companies in India. Though the focus has been on acquiring traffic online, we anticipate conversion ratios (clicks to cart, cart to order) getting a sharper focus this year.”
