Join us as we unravel the complexities of e-commerce with Rosemary Okolie, the Director of Strategy and Insights for Retail and Consumer Goods at Salesforce. We begin by scrutinizing the latest e-commerce trends as presented in the Salesforce Q3 Shopping Index, including global online sales stagnation and a 3% increase in US traffic. Get insight into how AI is transforming the e-commerce landscape, reshaping online sales, and redefining customer loyalty in today's digital age.

We also explore how AI's influence is not only shaping the present but also setting the stage for future purchases. Using the Salesforce Q3 Shopping Index as our compass, we observe the global online sales growth and the rising share of repeat buyers. We further explore how the pandemic has shifted shopping strategies and changed consumer behavior.
