As we head into 2026, eCommerce leaders face a reality where growth is no longer just about driving more traffic, but about making every visit count.
We hear the same story from many of our customers: rising acquisition costs, tighter margins, and more cautious consumers means profitability depends on converting shoppers more effectively. Retailers are under pressure to invest in technology that delivers measurable results quickly.
Winning brands are using AI-powered Conversion Messaging – including Social Proof, Attribute Messaging, and Dynamic Badging – to surface the most relevant messages at exactly the right moment in the customer journey. Designed to deliver relevant information, nudge and reassurance, these real-time messages turn hesitation into confidence and turn intent into action.
Why Conversion Messaging Delivers Results
Conversion messaging works because it builds on what matters most to shoppers when making online purchase decisions:
- Trust in the product
- Validation from other customers
- Clarity around quality, fit, features, and availability
Conversion messaging uses AI to deliver real-time, contextual messages that improve product discovery and help shoppers make the right shopping decisions. These messages, delivered at the right time and place, drive measurable increases in conversion, reduce abandonment, improve profitability and customer loyalty.
