Grow Your Customer Base By Giving More Choice At The Checkout

Delivery choice is a major factor for online shoppers in their purchase decision making process.

Whether you’re a start-up or established online retailer, delivery options are crucial to converting sales. The expectations when shopping online have increased over the years with customers choosing when and how they receive their items basing it on speed, cost and convenience.

Previously, many products that were sold online were generic products which shoppers didn’t need to touch and feel in order to buy. Whereas nowadays it is a place where you can buy anything, from clothing to food, to home wares and electrical appliances, the world wide web hosts a lot of retailers big and small selling a wide variety of goods and is not showing any signs of slowing down.

Convience has grown e-commerce 

The main reasons for the growth of online shopping is convenience, and delivery to your home. Browsing the web in your own time without having to tackle the high-street shops is a huge convenience and with online sites offering a wide range of products means more goods for consumers to purchase. The fact that you can order an item, choose when and where it gets delivered is so appealing.

Customer choice is key

Providing your customers this choice at the checkout is important in the customer experience and one of the main influencing factors for repeat business. Consumers will buy goods from one retailer in preference to another because the delivery options were more appealing. They will switch between online retailers if there is a better deal on delivery or they feel more confident with the delivery carrier.
