Today, several giant businesses have already started shifting to Omni-channel retailing for delivering unified shopping experiences – across all channels. Being an important Omni-channel strategy, click and collect model is quickly taking over the traditional single-channel eCommerce.
What is Click & Collect?
Click and Collect model is where a customer can buy a product online and collect it later from a nearby store. They can choose their preferred time and location, too! Ultimately, this approach adds more comfort to your customer’s shopping experience.
The Problem: Inconsistencies in Product Delivery
Often times, customers have to wait for prolonged periods to get the product after buying it online. Furthermore, if a customer is inaccessible at the time of delivery, the product may be sent to the warehouse. To make matters worse, a few housing societies and offices only allow online deliveries during a prescribed time-frame. And let’s not forget – there are times when waiting for a product to get delivered is not feasible. In such cases, customers typically cancel their orders.
The Solution: Click & Collect!
Click and collect is the solution to ever-evolving consumer demands. By embracing this model, you can significantly enhance your customer’s buying journey while cutting the shipping costs. Once purchased online, your customers can easily walk-in to any of your outlets and get their products. A popular global benchmarking study revealed that 80% of the top 25 leading retailers are already offering click and collect options.
With the unmatched flexibility and convenience it offers, click and collect is certainly going to be the future of eCommerce. That being said, now would be the right time to start offering your customers the luxury to shop products from your Magento store and collect them via outlets.
