HOME DELIVERY HUB

Kilmarnock Best-One retailer Imran Akhtar is creating a new hub store in Hurlford focused solely on home delivery after hitting £1m in sales through Snappy Shopper.

Imran started offering the app to his customers in January last year and sales via the platform have since soared, and as a result he started to offer Snappy Shopper to customers at his second store, Premier Cairnhill.

The new retail hub will enable Imran to meet surging customer demand for online ordering, as more and more of his customers opt for the convenience of home delivery. He is investing £40k in the new store and predicts the move will result in 25% incremental growth.

The store is processing on average 730 online transactions per week and is increasing customer loyalty with 90% repeat customers ordering through Snappy Shopper.

Imran said: “The new hub will allow me to provide 100% availability to my customers on the platform with a dedicated delivery fleet and staff packing the orders. Joining Snappy Shopper has future-proofed my business, so my store can reach a whole new customer base who shop online”.

Dael Links, Head of B2B Marketing at Snappy Shopper, added: “Imran is a great example of a retailer who has embraced the opportunity of home delivery, offering an outstanding service and growing his business in the process. This new store is a testament to his continued success on the Snappy Shopper platform.”

WISH LIST

Collect+, part of the PayPoint Group, and global e-commerce marketplace Wish, have signed a partnership that will allow consumers to click and collect parcels from Collect+ retailers.

With millions of buyers and hundreds of thousands of merchants using the Wish marketplace, this partnership provides further convenience for online shoppers, who can now rely on parcels being delivered to a nearby safe and secure location whenever they are out of home. It also provides more opportunities for independent retailers to take advantage of increased footfall and opportunities to earn via their own partnership with Collect+.

The service will initially be rolled out to select stores across the UK and comes at a time when the e-commerce sector has been booming, following a sustained shift in online consumer purchasing habits over the past two years.

Michael Gnaedinger, Europe Director of Logistics at Wish, said: “We are thrilled to enter into this strategic partnership with PayPoint as it more than doubles the number of available pickup locations for our customers in the UK.”
