As marketing technology expands, marketers will find new trends crop up on how to optimize the buyer experience for their products and services. On this episode of Moneyball for Marketing, George Skaff shares his expert insight on why certain trends are happening in the website buyer experience and what you should be aware of. Key points include:

1. Predictive and marketing analytics fit into the buying process by informing optimum marketing expenditures for targeting visitors with ideal messaging, identifying user behavior, and  driving ecommerce sites to make adjustments as needed based on the behaviors of the users within the site.
2. The future of real time analytics lies in tracking the shopping experience. Social shopping is a bridge between online and offline shopping generated by the omni-channel experience. Omni-channel retailing is an integrated sales experience that mends the advantages of physical stores with the information experience of online shopping.
3. Data and marketing intelligence associated with a web experience is a powerful tool for marketers to use in a marketing campaign. It allows you to have a clear image of buyer behavior to retarget messaging after a purchase or interaction.
