Check It Out: March 2024

We know you're probably gearing up for four days of chocolate eggs, family time, relaxation and/or more chocolate eggs.

Before you log off for the weekend, make sure to dive in to the latest edition of Check It Out, our egg-cellent (sorry) monthly round-up of industry insights, how-to guides, upcoming events and much more. Let's crack on. ??

Do you know what B2B buyers really want? ??

This month saw the launch of our industry-defining research report, designed to help you meet the expectations of your customers in 2024.

Based on a survey of 500 B2B buyers from across Europe and the UK, the Definitive Guide to B2B E-commerce Buyer Demands is filled with exclusive insights and actionable takeaways for you to apply to your e-commerce strategy.

Here's a sneak peak of what's in store...

• 98% of B2B buyers face issues when checking out online
• 93% now use online channels for their procurement needs
• 83% will abandon an e-commerce purchase if no payment terms are offered

Grab a cup of coffee, get comfortable and hit that big download button. It’s time to learn.

And for the visual learners out there... ??

They say there's more than one way to skin a cat. Pretty weird thing to say if you ask us, but there might be some truth to it...

Not everyone wants to read a 5,000-word research report. We get it. (Just don't say it too loudly around our Content Manager who wrote it.)

That's why we've made it easy to discover everything the report has to offer, no matter how you prefer to learn. If video is your thing, watch the recording of our report launch webinar, or if you prefer, check out the infographic we made that includes all the key findings from the report.

In conversation with the B2B eCommerce Association ??

Sorry to keep banging on about it, but The Definitive Guide to B2B E-commerce Buyer Demands really is very good (even if we do say so ourselves), and that's partly thanks to the three partners who came on board – B2B eCommerce Association , OroCommerce and Greenwood Consulting .

Since releasing the report, we sat down to pick the brains of Christopher Gee , UK Chapter Lead for the B2B eCommerce Association, and learn more about his predictions and expectations for B2B e-commerce this year.

Here's what we learned.

OK. Now you can have your chocolate egg.
