Convenience: the future of online shopping
According to market and consumer data provider, Statista up to 87% of UK households made online purchases in 2020 – the highest rate in the past 11 years. The swell of activity is testament to how the internet is now the driving force behind shopping intention.
This is why it’s so important to make sure your ecommerce offer is polished and efficient. To get the best out of your website, it needs to integrate with your stock management system, contain useful information and images and have a slick checkout.
Click & Collect is an essential part of the business now, especially in these times when people are wanting to minimise time spent in the shop.
