With delivery factors playing such a key and growing role in the purchase experience, the survey reveals why consumers stop their orders at checkout stage, and compares 2024 with 2023 data. Common causes include frustration with delivery charges, lack of delivery choice, or an expectedly long wait for delivery. Alarmingly, 27% of abandoned baskets are triggered by the shopper\u2019s \u2018increased dissatisfaction with choice of delivery options\u2019!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tackling Basket Abandonment with a Trusted Partner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"key-insights\">Working with trusted fulfilment and delivery partners like ILG and GFS empowers brands to conquer these checkout challenges. We help brands to drive online sales, by winning customer loyalty and overcoming their logistical issues. Our managed multi-carrier delivery services provide benefits such as a portfolio of world-class carriers, highly competitive pricing and hands-on guidance from expert delivery teams to despatch your products worldwide. All this helps you stay ahead of rapidly escalating consumer expectations and provides the choice, value and quality your customers expect &#8211; to keep them purchasing from you again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Insights:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>51% of consumers say choice matters more than cost of delivery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>80% of shoppers would consider paying extra for premium delivery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>54% of consumers are willing to pay for hassle-free returns<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li id=\"strategies\">75% of the most affluent shoppers abandon baskets due to insufficient delivery options<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Key spenders such as younger and more affluent shoppers are grappling from financial strain. They have become more discerning in their preferences, in search for greater value with delivery and returns options that suit their varying needs. This has seen choice of delivery services remain critical over cost, with high-frequency online shoppers demanding a broad array of options to avoid basket abandonment or switching to other retailers who meet their needs across product categories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Strategies for Tackling Basket Abandonment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting delivery strategies right can represent low-hanging fruit in retailers\u2019 efforts for satisfaction and loyalty, with over three-quarters (78.4%) of shoppers saying they\u2019d return to a retailer following positive delivery experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Simplifying with a single multi-carrier partner<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Switching from multiple delivery partners to a single multi-carrier partner simplifies the ability to offer maximum choice and convenience of delivery options to shoppers, with the advantage of competitive rates through aggregated parcel volumes. However, caution is required as not all multi-carrier delivery partners are equal. Look for partners that offer proactive oversight of carrier performance, to mitigate risk and ensure consistency of service to end customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. The \u2018rule of five\u2019 for delivery options<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Offering a minimum of five delivery options (next-day, nominated day, standard delivery, click-and-collect, and alternative pick-up points) can significantly minimise abandonment. This strategy meets the diverse demands of online shoppers, promoting a customer-centric approach. Effective implementation relies on sophisticated logistics, including multi-carrier partnerships and advanced delivery management systems, ensuring a seamless, personalised shopping experience that enhances both customer satisfaction and loyalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Reliability and transparency non-negotiable<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Fulfilling delivery promises is crucial for maintaining brand reputation and customer loyalty. Retailers must integrate flexibility and contingency into their operations to sustain reliable delivery services. Transparent communication about order status and potential delays builds customer trust. Continuously refining delivery processes, pre-empting issues with proactive tracking, and maintaining robust partnerships with dependable logistics providers are essential for upholding delivery reliability and fostering long-term customer relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Tech ahead: Leverage innovation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For retailers, leveraging data science and AI can deliver improved demand prediction, optimised inventory levels, and more efficient delivery routes. Investing in emerging technology like AI could, in time, exacerbate the divide between retailers who embrace it, and those that do not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Differences are likely to emerge across processes and operations that ultimately shape frictionless experiences for shoppers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For consumers (particularly the under-45s), many are receptive to technology that addresses pain points and enhances the online shopping experience. Innovations that appeal to digital natives include: new payment services, personalised recommendations, visualisation tools (e.g. virtual fitting rooms, furniture placement), and AI assistants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, consumer interest in AI assistance is less than 1 in 3 (receiving delivery order updates (32.3% would be interested), managing returns (28.9%), and answering general queries (25.7%)).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Returns done right = repeat business won<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"trusted-partner\">A balanced approach to both outbound deliveries and inbound returns is critical for a comprehensive delivery strategy. Hassle-free returns and quick refunds are essential to meet customer expectations and encourage repeat business. This is particularly crucial undercurrent economic conditions where consumers value quick refunds to support finances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Applying consistent standards throughout all phases of the delivery and returns process ensures a smooth end-to-end experience that builds loyalty and encourages repeat purchases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tackling Basket Abandonment with a Trusted Partner<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Working with a trusted fulfilment and delivery partner like ILG empowers brands to conquer these checkout challenges.
