Providing your customers with a great brand experience isn’t just a way to distinguish your brand from the rest of the market: it’s a powerful driver of revenue. According to Forrester, brands that excel in creating amazing customer experiences outperform laggards 80%.
It’s not hard to see why. Customers have no shortage of merchants to purchase from, and they make their decisions based on a new set of criteria: storytelling, omnichannel conveniences, personalization.
As an eCommerce retailer, losing customers to your competition could prove costly. Delivering amazing customer experience can help in differentiating your brand and gain a significant competitive advantage.
How Adobe Experience Manager helps retailers craft amazing digital experiences for fashion and apparel consumers.
Get to know the factors that differentiate AEM from other CMS and why is it more reliable for enterprise brands.
At Ziffity, we’re great fans of Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) for many reasons. If you’re a brand that’s been successful in eCommerce, you are probably using other Adobe cloud products, such as Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe Cloud Analytics, and Adobe Cloud Target. AEM integrates seamlessly with all of those products, and you can use those powerful tools in your eCommerce initiatives.
Adobe Experience Manager allows you to deliver highly personalized and engaging customer experiences to every customer. Its drag-and-drop interface makes it easy to create, edit, manage, resize, share, and publish a wide range of content across all channels. It even has built-in workflows for review and approval of contents under development.
You can also use it to create smart forms, communities, reviews, and integrate your social feed.
Choosing the right partner to migrate from your existing CMS to AEM or implement AEM for the first time is one of the most important decisions you can make. You want a partner with expertise in Adobe Experience Manager, eCommerce, mobile commerce, content management, and marketing.
AEM is a powerhouse combo for your content and digital asset management needs. You can get personalized, content-led experiences into the market faster.
If you are in a lifestyle or non-commodity business, where storytelling, branding, content marketing, positioning, creating differentiating experiences is of paramount importance, then AEM is the solution for you. With AEM, you blend, social, content, and commerce to attract, engage, convert & sustain your audience.
Sure, for most brands, Page Builder would do from a content management perspective. But if you are someone who needs an integrated DAM (digital asset management), hyper-personalization, digital forms, digital publishing, cloud services, story driven selling and low code platform, which your marketing team can handle without developers, then you will need AEM.
Adobe has differential pricing for AEM based on various criteria. It's not one price fits all. If you are looking for an AEM demo, or want to know more about the pricing, we can certainly connect you with appropriate personnel at Adobe. From our experience, AEM typically suits well for mid-market and enterprise customers.
Of course, it depends on the scope of work. It can range anywhere from 3 to 12 months, and this can be done in phases as well, which is usually what we recommend to our customers. If you have a rough idea of what you are looking for, send it across to us, and we will provide you a free consultation on implementation approach, schedule, and estimates.
Since Magento & AEM are both owned by Adobe, they have developed a Commerce Integration Framework (CIF), which helps integrate AEM with Magento in a seamless fashion and provide the best commerce & content capabilities in a single solution. If you are looking for a headless commerce approach, you can have Magento as your eCommerce system and power your storefront using Adobe Experience Manager.
Yes, absolutely. Depending on your strategic objectives, problems/challenges, aspirations, urgency, and budget, we will guide you to the right platform for your business. All we will need from you is a couple of discovery calls to brainstorm, understand your requirements, and come up with the right choice for you. A similar exercise can be done for Commerce as well if you are looking for a headless solution.

If you are looking for a headless commerce solution, Magento & AEM could be a good match. Both products are from Adobe, hence better pre-built integration. AEM acts as your front-end engine/content delivery platform, and Magento as your backend for all your commerce transaction processing. Magento offers built-in microservices/API layers to connect with any front-end engine. Alternate solutions could include lightweight JS frameworks like React for front-end and Magento for Commerce.
Using Commerce Integration Framework, AEM Form Data Model & Rest APIs, all three platforms can be integrated seamlessly. Be it product data from Magento to AEM, customer registration, order emails via Marketo, customer segmentation based on behavior/purchase pattern, and using the same for email marketing via Marketo, all of it is possible. As Adobe owns all of these platforms, integration capabilities continue to get better and better.
