It’s a sad fact that 70.2% of all online shopping carts worldwide are abandoned.

Addressing this huge loss of potential revenue requires a strategic approach to optimising the customer experience. And recent research shows that delivery experience is one of the main areas where customer satisfaction needs to improve. 2 In other words, brands that focus on developing an integrated transportation framework can benefit from a competitive advantage – turning one-time purchasers into loyal, returning customers.

So, what are the steps you can take today to avoid consumers’ top transport turn-offs?

44% of shoppers in Europe will abandon their order when their preferred shipping option isn’t available.

Is your brand’s transport journey just beginning?

The major mistake many brands make when considering their transport strategy is viewing this strategic lever as just another operational cost centre. On the other hand, digital native brands have built their global business models on delivering service excellence at every touchpoint, investing in a transport experience that consistently outperforms that of traditional retailers. By driving improvements throughout the sales funnel – not just at the start – they’ve cracked the loyalty code.

And you can, too.
