How Retail Trends are Influencing Click and Collect<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In-person shopping is not dead. <\/span>Retail<\/span> stores continue to play a big role in the <\/span>customer experience,<\/span> bringing in impulse purchases, acting as <\/span>brand<\/span> builders, and efficiently traversing \u201cthe last mile\u201d to get purchases into the hands of consumers and improve their <\/span>customer retention<\/span> rate. <\/span>In fact, <\/span>Target estimates that it costs an average of 40% less when shoppers pick up their orders curbside or in-store, compared with shipping from a warehouse<\/span>1<\/sup><\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a look to see how <\/span>ROI retail strategies<\/span> like curbside pick-up, BOPIS, and Buy Online, Pick-up in Locker (BOPIL\u00ae) compare.<\/span><\/p>\n

How the Number Add Up in Favor of BOPIL<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Changing Face of Retail Post Pandemic<\/strong><\/h2>\n

During the height of the pandemic, experts predicted the end of the mall and in-person shopping as consumers switched to eCommerce. The reality is quite different.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yes, department stores suffered significantly and by the end of 2025, approximately 50% of all remaining mall-based department stores are expected to shutter, according to Green Street. However, if department stores were the losers, new winners stepped up to gain mindshare and market share.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the top of the list were Target, Walmart, and Costco, who are now the de facto department stores in the post-pandemic period. Their one-stop shopping approach embraces a trend that is here to stay: consolidation of shopping trips. Expect smaller retailers to follow in the footsteps of these big-box retailers and embrace <\/span>omnichannel trends<\/span><\/a> by offering custom apps, designated parking spaces for curbside pick-up, and efficient <\/span>smart lockers<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Additionally, with the country roaring back and consumers flooding retailers\u2019 aisles, the National <\/span>Retail<\/span> Federation bumped up its forecast for <\/span>sales growth<\/span> to 13.5% in 2021, up from its initial 6.5% prediction<\/span>3<\/sup><\/span>. Although over 35 large companies filed for bankruptcy in 2020, the pace of Chapter 11 filings has slowed and <\/span>retail<\/span> seems to have found its sweet spot<\/span>4<\/sup><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

For instance, in-person sales at discount retailers TJ Maxx and Ross have surged. And furniture and home-related spending are also seeing growth, especially with the work from home becoming a permanent option for a large swath of employees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re still wondering \u201c<\/span>why are brick and mortar stores important<\/span><\/a>,\u201d check out our latest blog post to find out the crucial role they play for both retailers and consumers.<\/span><\/p>\n

eCommerce is Here to Stay<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Amazon blasted through every prediction for its Prime Day last week. A staggering 250 million items were ordered from 20 countries over 48 hours ringing up $5.6 billion in sales<\/span>5<\/sup><\/span>. In order to nab a piece of the e-tailing frenzy, Target, Best Buy, and Walmart offered their own version of online shopping deals. Walmart\u2019s eCommerce sales in the US rose 37% in the first quarter of this year and 49% across international markets<\/span>6<\/sup><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, the success of this and other online mega-sales come at a cost \u2013 specifically related to last-mile delivery. \u201c[Retailers need] a strategy to reduce <\/span>supply chain<\/span> costs, because residential home delivery at no charge is not scalable,\u201d Kate Reidel, Senior Vice President, Business Development at Parcel Pending by Quadient, says of the online <\/span>sales growth<\/span>. \u201cIt\u2019s not financially feasible and it\u2019s not good for the environment. There\u2019s going to be pressure on retailers and carriers to find more sustainable delivery models.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Fast and Efficient Delivery is King<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Since COVID became a fixture in our lives for so many months, consumers no longer have forgiveness for any retail brand that fails to live up to expectations. According to the<\/span> EY Future Consumer Index<\/span><\/a>, less than 21% of consumers believe the pandemic is a valid excuse for delivery issues<\/span>7<\/sup><\/span>. Further, long wait times and ineffective delivery methods taint the <\/span>retail<\/span> experience for the <\/span>customer<\/span> and negatively affect the <\/span>post purchase experience<\/span><\/a>. A full 37% of them expect to <\/span>click & collect<\/span><\/a> their purchase at a nearby retail location. And don\u2019t forget: a <\/span>customer<\/span> is four times more likely to purchase again if their wait time is less than two minutes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Time = Money When It Comes to Labor Costs<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Curbside, BOPIS, and BOPIL require <\/span>retail<\/span> employees to pick and pack the order. Using an average of $15.00 per hour for employees, it costs approximately $1.38 for curbside, $1.00 for BOPIS, and a mere $0.13 for BOPIL. Further, a <\/span>retailer<\/span> that employs BOPIL can save an average of <\/span>45 hours<\/span><\/a> per month managing BOPIS orders<\/span>8<\/sup><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Retail<\/span> is evolving in a way similar to the media industry, whereby the <\/span>customer<\/span> wants all options on the table. Whereas media invented flexibility with downloads, recording (time-shifting), and on-demand (instant gratification), so too has <\/span>retail<\/span>. Consumers can now opt for delivery to their homes, delivery to a nearby store, curbside pick-up, pick-up in-store (BOPIS), and BOPIL for immediate gratification. A savvy <\/span>retailer<\/span> who offers all options with an eye towards BOPIL stands to <\/span>improve their ROI calculation by saving<\/span> on last-mile costs, boosting incremental spending, elevating their <\/span>customer experience<\/span>, and cementing <\/span>customer loyalty<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n
