Ecommerce brands are spending tens of thousands on website redesigns—but are these sleek makeovers really worth it? In this episode of the PlayAbly Podcast, we dive into the science of attention and memory, and why beautiful websites without meaningful interaction are practically invisible to your customers.

You’ll learn:

• Why the average shopper spends just 4 minutes on your site but needs 9 focused seconds to consider a purchase
• How passive viewing fails, and what cognitive science says about creating memorable ecommerce experiences
• Why "window shopping" websites are dead, and how interactive elements like shoppable games and product configurators are the future
• How leading brands are using elaborative encoding (yes, like TikTok and Instagram!) to win customer mindshare and drive repeat visits
