Can doorstep returns streamline the returns process? Many retailers are increasingly seeing advantages in speeding the returns process by picking up packages from customers’ homes. Can doorstep returns be a better way to manage the costs and environmental toll of retail returns? Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/g8qxKm6J Robert Amster "Retailers cannot continue to offer free returns ad infinitum, let alone doorstep pick-up." Georganne Bender "Why make it easier for shoppers to do anything that you already know is a major pain point?" Cathy Hotka "Retailers should concentrate on process improvements that can render returns irrelevant, like predictable sizes and more accurate product descriptions."

Although there are two general modes of shopping, i.e., in-store and online, it's worth remembering that people can receive online orders in one of three typical ways, e.g., Pickup, Delivery, and Ship-to-Home. In fact, people can use any combination of them during the month, depending on their need state and usage occasion. With that said, Sept. '23 set a new high-water mark for Pickup as nearly 6 in 10 MAUs used a service to receive one or more eGrocery orders. And, as you can see, the market segment of Pickup-only users is comprised of almost one-third of all eGrocery MAUs. Pickup's dominant position, which has continued to grow as Brick Meets Click's monthly report highlights, is driven by two core value components. First is COST, i.e., Pickup is much less expensive than Delivery after accounting for all the explicit and incremental costs, e.g., fees + charges + tip. Second is CONVENIENCE, i.e., Pickup offers the customer more control and flexibility. Pickup's dominance is even more impressive when recognizing that most of the financial incentives, e.g., save $50 on orders over $100, remain focused on Delivery - not Pickup. Otherwise, as the Venn diagram illustrates, the online grocery market largely consists of three different and mostly distinct segments. And, this is across all retail formats, e.g., Supermarkets, Mass, Hard Discounters. Now, we'll refresh a comparable view of how customers engage a retailer's service with a focus on U.S. regional grocers as part of Brick Meets Click eGrocery benchmarking initiative, thanks to the continued support of Mercatus Technologies Inc. #egrocery #grocery #groceryretail #onlinegrocery #grocerydelivery #curbside

All about the Bulk. With the launch of 99 Bulksales, 99 Speedmart is now in e-commerce. Nothing is exactly new about the concept, nor are we marketing it as something revolutionary. It doesn't need to serve that purpose. Anything new cannot be immediately seen as great. We didn't enter for the sake of it, but because we saw a commercially viable method to bring it to market. It plugs our gaps, our outlets are small. Sometimes our stock is taken quickly, with those coming later not having anything left. 99 Bulksales enables a win in so many ways: 1. Customers who buy bulk can get their stock in less than 2 days 2. Customers who buy loose get higher stock availability in our outlets 3. 99 Speedmart is able to do more, without much provisioning of limited space at our locations. Just a minimum spend of RM500 does it, for self-pickup. 0.50m3 and above is all you need for free delivery. Definitely a work-in-progress, but all products and services start somewhere. The journey of improvements continue 💪 Check it out! www.99bulksales.my #bulksales #99speedmart #fmcg #ecommerce

Shipping & Delivery: Mastering Costs Based on States & Provinces in Your E-Commerce Store As business owners, we're always looking for ways to refine our operations and provide better experiences for our customers. A critical aspect of running a successful e-commerce store is managing shipping and delivery options. It's not just about sending out packages; it’s about ensuring your customers receive their orders promptly without inflating costs for your business or your customers. One game-changing update for e-commerce entrepreneurs is the ability to set shipping and delivery rates based on the state or province. Flexibility in shipping rates is now a necessity, not a luxury. We can't apply a one-size-fits-all approach to shipping costs because of the vast differences in logistics and customer expectations across regions. Customization in shipping rates allows for more efficient cost management and offers the customers a tailored experience. They'll appreciate knowing that they're paying a fair price for shipping, increasing their trust and confidence in your brand. Moreover, it impacts the decision-making process of the customer at checkout, potentially reducing cart abandonment rates spurred by unexpected shipping costs. Additionally, this feature enables businesses to adjust their shipping strategies based on regional demand and logistics expenses, optimizing operations and potentially enhancing profitability. Embracing such advancements accelerates the evolution of e-commerce businesses, allowing them to adapt dynamically to the ever-changing landscapes of regions and consumer behavior. Investing in the right tools and strategies can pave the way for growth and customer satisfaction. Feel free to explore the possibilities of automating your business with our specialized coaching and consulting services.
