OMG is thrilled to announce the launch of our redesigned online storefronts. Elevated with a sleek new look, these retail-like stores are packed with new features—from the ability to run stores without a deadline to creating subcategories to improve navigation. Unlock new opportunities for growth, drive sales with enhanced features, and provide the flexibility needed to support new types of programs and stores for your customers.
In a market where online stores are key to business growth and success, OMG is the trusted partner for distributors, decorators, and dealers. Read on to see the data that informed our storefront redesign, three key strategies to unlock success, and sample stores to help spark inspiration.
It’s been clear for years that adopting an online strategy is essential for businesses to retain and attain new customers. Last year, the pandemic accelerated an already-growing consumer trend, with McKinsey reporting eCommerce sales skyrocketing to an impressive 10 years growth in just 3 months in 2020.
The digital transformation continues as consumers discover new ways to interact with companies that they may not have considered pre-pandemic. This year alone, eCommerce sales in the US are expected to grow an impressive 18% (eMarketer), with 61% of consumers expecting to spend more time online this year than they did prior to 2020 (Salesforce).
With the undeniable shift towards digital, it’s crucial that businesses maximize their online presence to meet and exceed customer expectations. Whether your goal is to expand into new markets, win new business, increase customer spend, or meet the demands of today’s consumers – online stores offer a modern, flexible solution to help you succeed.
