What is Customer Journey and real-time Intent? Know everything about customer touchpoints

The concept of intent refers to the mindset behind an action, and it is just as important in e-commerce as it is in any other business.

Look up & beyond traditional customer personas.

Did you know that despite diligent efforts to understand customer personas and their individual journeys, the e-commerce industry is currently experiencing an all-time low in conversion rates?

Shockingly, 97% of website visitors fail to convert, and acquisition costs are skyrocketing. The question that arises in every marketer's mind is why are we struggling to achieve more than a meagre 2-3% conversion rate. Here are some eye-opening facts to consider:

  • Every visitor to your Shopify store has a different purpose, which can shift in real-time as they navigate your site.
  • Traditional consumer segmenting fails to capture all the data points about a buyer's journey, leaving a lot of room for improvement.

Numerous notable brands fail to provide their Shopify store customers with personalised deals based on their intent, resulting in missed opportunities to please and retain them.

Understanding Customer Intent

The concept of intent refers to the mindset behind an action, and it is just as important in e-commerce as it is in any other business. When we consider the customer journey, understanding their real-time intent to make a purchase becomes critical. By doing so, merchants can offer personalised and immersive experiences to their customers while also saving on costs.

In business language it is called, purchase intention or a customer or buyer’ intent which measures each shopper’s propensity to buy a product or service. It is: “The Sum total of cognitive, affective and behavioural towards adoption, purchase, and use of the product, services, ideas or certain behaviours [*].”

Bucketing the realtime intent into three categories

At Cooee we capture 40 micro behaviour of your customer with the help of Generative AI and categorise them into three types of intent or stages:

1. Low Intent: At this stage, we NURTURE the visitor and lead them through the entire funnel from an early stage. The strategic goal is to make them aware of the brand and show them value through personalised pop-ups in exploring the website further.

2. Medium intent: Customers showing interest in a particular product page or arriving through a paid source fall into the "medium intent" category. Our aim is to provide a tailored user experience by guiding them and offering discounts and notifications based on their previous interactions with your store.



3. High Intent: When customers are at the point of deciding to make a purchase, it's crucial to offer them personalised discounts or promotions based on their real-time intent. These "high intent" customers are too close to the sale to let them slip away, so make sure to give them the extra nudge they need to complete their purchase.
