Everyone talks the talk when it comes to the issue of giving customers more choice and convenience, and yet more than half of shoppers are displeased with the range of delivery options retailers provide them with.
And with ecommerce sales expected to have doubled across Europe between 2013 and 2019, and the cost of failed deliveries already starting to nudge tentatively at the £1bn per year mark in the UK, there’ll have to be a lot of innovation and service improvement to avoid bottlenecks and damaged reputations.
Those are some of the conclusions of a major feature we’ll be running in instalments this week, to coincide with the following infographic from delivery management specialist Scurri.
Among other things, it shows the importance of trust where delivery is concerned, expectations for services in the future, and the subsequent importance of innovation.
The first instalment looks at market growth, making it easy for shoppers to buy from you, and paying attention to their expectations and the challenges they face. You can find it here.
