How amazing is the concept of contextual commerce!
If I am not listening, it doesnt matter what you say
This is the whole Idea behind contextual commerce and essentially its saying you have to reach me, the message must change my attitude and intimately change my behaviour.
I find this whole concept really fascinating and something that makes complete sense to me, yet I am intrigued how to change my future customer's behaviour. I am really interested in eCommerce, buying habits and basically shopping online in general and contextual commerce is a bit of a buzz word that I keep on coming across.
There are heaps of opportunities for merchants surround this idea and keeping up to date with the data and signals of the user can make online commerce even more lucrative than it already is.

Whos keen to use it or loving the idea of this as much as I am?
Although I think there could be some issues with privacy and also pre-ordering seamlessly with an individuals credit card etc - this all sounds like the sort of marketing that could change the face of eCommerce,
