BOPIS: seamless experiences are driven by data


Since more customers are using BOPIS, especially during peak retail seasons, firms are able to generate additional in-store revenues. As such, 90% of merchants plan to offer this facility by 2021. Moreover, 75% of these retailers are going to provide customised experiences. All these developments have led to an increase in customer expectations.

To meet consumer demands, companies must deliver several offerings which are supported by customer, inventory and payment data. Bell & Howell conducted a study with secret shoppers which revealed that retailers are finally offering a great experience on mobile CX. More buyers are satisfied with the BOPIS mobile shopping solution than the desktop one. This means that to attract more customers and to ensure loyalty, firms must work on enhancing this facility via both mediums.

How to create an excellent service for smartphone BOPIS shoppers? First of all, they should be able to find the item on the online store without difficulty. The research has revealed that the mobile version of an e-commerce shop is often easier to navigate through than the desktop one. This is because there is less clutter and a better-organised layout on smaller screen sizes. Additionally, the checkout process should not contain any friction. The fewer steps customers have to pay, the more likely they are to complete the deal.
