Bell and Howell Announces 100th Retail Click-and-Collect Installation of Cleveron’s PackRobot in North America

Durham, North Carolina, USA, 2017-Nov-16 — /EPR Retail News/ — Bell and Howell announced today the 100th U.S. installation of the PackRobot, a 16-foot-tall automated package pickup system manufactured by Cleveron, a leading European developer of click-and-collect self-service pickup technology.

The PackRobot allows customers to pick up their online order in a matter of seconds. Once items are ready for pickup, the customer is sent an email or text notification with a code. They then simply walk up to the PackRobot when it is most convenient for them, scan their code and retrieve their order. This simplified approach to online order pickup reduces the time it takes a consumer to retrieve an online order from 15 minutes or more to less than 15 seconds.

“By turning to the autonomous self-service pickup model, leading retailers are setting themselves apart from e-retailers by utilizing their physical stores as micro-distribution centers,” said Ramesh Ratan, Ph.D., Bell and Howell’s CEO. “By adding Cleveron’s PackRobot and additional smart-locker technology to their stores, these retailers are enhancing their customers’ overall shopping experiences by saving time with the convenience of coming into a store to pick up their orders in seconds.”

Bell and Howell and Cleveron first announced their partnership in September of 2015, with the first PackRobot being launched in the U.S. in March of 2016. Bell and Howell has since deployed Cleveron’s PackRobot at more than 100 retail locations in 2017, with plans to scale to nearly 1,000 additional units in 2018. Bell and Howell is the exclusive North American distributor of Cleveron products, and is responsible for installation, remote monitoring and ongoing maintenance, and providing unique insights used to further enhance the customer’s shopping experience.

“It’s exciting to see the PackRobot having such tremendous success in the North American market,” said Arno Kütt, Cleveron founder and chairman. “By leveraging IoT robotics-based technologies, our customers are now able to deliver the kind of convenient and rewarding click-and-collect experience that online shoppers are beginning to appreciate and even expect.”

Vape starter kit sales soar by 37% over Stoptober campaign

Modern electronic mod vaping device. Vape. ecigarette

 

LONDON, 2017-Oct-31 — /EPR Retail News/ — Early signs indicate that Public Health England’s new harm reduction approach to decreasing smoking rates across the UK has not only been widely accepted, but capitalized upon. For the first time, vaping has featured prominently within the NHS Stoptober campaign, with the official website included in the Stoptober TV advertisement.

Vape Club – the UK’s largest online retailer of vaping products and e-cigarettes – has seen e-cigarette starter kit sales increase by 37% year on year following the launch of the 2017 campaign.

Director of Vape Club Dan Marchant says that the medical acceptance has provided a watershed moment for public health:

‘It’s fantastic to see the NHS finally backing vaping as a pathway to quit smoking. The industry has been backing this alternative for a long time, but with the evidence provided by Public Health England, endorsements from the likes of Cancer Research UK and the figures which are produced by Action on Smoking and Health (ASH), there can be no doubt that vaping is the most effective method to give up tobacco.

The NHS advocating vaping as an alternative to tobacco is an enormous breakthrough and will do an outstanding amount of good for public health and tobacco control in the UK.’

Believed to be 95% less harmful than traditional tobacco, e-cigarettes feature within the NHS’ Stoptober campaign as a way of phasing out tobacco rather than advocating – as seen in previous campaigns – the ‘cold turkey’ approach. Through the adoption of this harm reduction strategy, the UK has seen record high rates of smoking cessation and is fast becoming a European leader in this respect.

About Vape Club

The UK’s largest online retailer of vape kits and e-liquid, Vape Club aim to provide the best possible quality vape products at the best possible prices.

Vape Club are offering a site wide 15% discount with the code STOPTOBER.  You can also be in line to win your very own starter kit as they give away 5 kits each week through social media to smokers looking to switch.

U.S. Craft Beer Sales Dominate the South American Market


Sao Paulo, Brasil, 2017-Oct-11 — /EPR Retail News/ — Mexico has its tequila, Cuba has rum, Brazilians drink caipirinhas and now America has craft beer.  Though the U.K. holds the most breweries per capita, the U.S. remains the largest producer of craft beer with 5,000+ breweries.  In fact, the craft beer revolution has become so strong and established in Europe and North America that the trend has begun trickling southwards and is dominating sales in places like Argentina, Brazil, Ecuador, and Peru.

“Sales of craft beer in Latin America are growing at between 20% and 40% a year, depending on which country you’re in,” said Daniel Trivelli in a 2016 BBC News article.  President of Copa Cervezas de America, one of the region’s biggest craft beer contests, Trivelli said craft beer sales in Chile grew nearly 25% from the previous year, which represented only 2% of the overall beer market in 2016.

Craft beer is a trend the world over, and South America is jumping on the bandwagon as its culinary scene continues to progress at an astounding rate, its craft brewing scene is getting global recognition through its introduction of America’s most popular and beloved flavors.  Here are a few of the popular craft beers from America you can find on your next visit to Central and South America:

Chub Scotch Ale • Oskar Blues Oskar Blues Brewery • Colorado

Oskar Blues Chub Scotch Ale, which was rated amongst the top 50 beers on Ratebeer comes from a funky little brew pub in Longmont, Colorado.  The dark brown color features a beautiful Beige cream reveals notes of cocoa, coffee, dried and smoked dark fruit.  Its potent alcoholic strength of 8% balances well between its sweet and slightly bitter taste.  From the brewery that began the craft-beer-in-a-can craze, the scotch ale tastes strong with big and deliciously complex flavors.

Even More Jesus • Evil Twin Brewing • New York

A black color and a persistent foam contain an aroma espresso, chocolate, and caramel.  This complex beer produced in limited quantities features an intense flavor of chocolate, coffee, and brown sugar.  Its sweet flavor, high body, and dry coffee aftertaste are recognizable throughout all 12% of its alcohol volume making it worthy of the vote of one of the best breweries in the world.

Independence Pass Ale • Aspen Brewing Company • Aspen, Colorado

Ideal for the adventurous home cook, the Independence Pass Ale is for the friend in the group who doesn’t like IPAs but wants to look like they like IPAs.  This hoppy yet balanced, high altitude rendition of the classic India Pale Ale style won Gold Medals two years in a row at the World Beer Cup, the most prestigious beer competition in the world.  A major catalyst for Aspen Brewing Company, this high-altitude rendition of the classic IPA boasts an all-around fuller flavor and smells of strong caramelized malts when you pour the off-white, hazy and “chunky” amber body into the pint.

Funk-n-Delicious, Belgian-Style Blueberry Sour Ale • Oceanside Ale Works San Diego  

Tastes as sour as blueberry jack hammer to the tongue with a hazy amber color and a thin, white, frothy head. Dedicated to using only the freshest hops and finest barleys, Oceanside Ale Works gifts to the world a series of Belgian style blonde ales spontaneously fermented with wild airborne yeast Blueberry, Peach, and Strawberry.  The Lambic/Belgian sours, aged in Johannesburg Riesling barrels with organic blueberries, gives off a mild sweet aroma and flavor of Belgian sugar, champagne, and grains.  One of the few remaining manual brew houses in the country, this 20-barrel brewery produces a hand-crafted beer with a 6% ABV you are sure to remember.  Whether you’re relaxing in luxury in Peru’s upscale Miraflores district, soaking up the arts in Sao Paulo, or experimenting with flavors in Argentina the craft beer revolution can be found nearby.

Klarna UK Consumer Survey: Retailers must develop emotional intelligence to win over new generation of online shoppers

Millennial generation three times more likely to feel excitement while adding items to their online basket, compared to older shoppers

Negative emotions also play a role in decision-making – with millennials more than five times as likely as over 55s to feel guilt at the point of payment

LONDON, 2017-Oct-06 — /EPR Retail News/ — Retailers must develop emotional intelligence (EQ) and alter their customer journey accordingly to nudge shoppers to a better online experience

A consumer research study recently put out by Klarna UK also shows that 16 – 34-year olds are more likely than older generations to be influenced by emotional factors when shopping online.

The millennial emotional rollercoaster of the millennial customer journey

For the millennial generation – the largest group of online shoppers – the traditional linear customer journey is more akin to a rollercoaster, marked by highs and lows of emotion. According to Klarna UK’s consumer research, millennials experience higher levels of anxiety, impulsiveness and impatience than their older counterparts. Klarna UK’s consumer research shows two thirds (68 percent) of millennials reported feeling excitement when adding items to their online basket, compared to less than a quarter (24 percent) of people over 55.

The flip side of this excitement is lows caused by anxiety and guilt, with 52 percent of millennials saying that they worry that they can’t afford the purchase during checkout, compared to only 16 percent of over 55s. One in five millennials have abandoned a purchase because of worry about regretting it later.

Increasing merchant EQ

The extremes of emotion experienced by millennials must be navigated carefully so retailers can effectively guide this group through the purchase process.

Allowing shoppers to try before they buy is an easy way to build brand loyalty – findings from Klarna UK’s consumer research shows that 20 percent of millennials would feel less guilty if they were offered deferred payment options, and one in five would be more likely to complete a purchase if they knew they could spread the cost over time. It’s vital that merchants offer these choices at the checkout – so millennials can be reassured a transaction is achievable.

The buzz of the basket

The consumer research debunks the myth that items added to a basket show a clear intention to purchase. In fact a significant 89 percent of millennials use the basket as a tool to review costs, while more than three quarters often use their basket as a wish list, compared with only 29 percent of over 55s. Meanwhile, nearly three quarters (74 percent) admit to indulging in ‘buzz browsing’ – adding items to a basket with no clear intention to buy.

Crucially, 58 percent of millennials are more likely to complete a purchase if an online offer is going to expire, so tapping into this fear of missing out by offering time bound incentives and educating shoppers about pay after delivery or consumer finance options can encourage customers to complete their purchase. Simple website features such as showing stock levels and displaying expert advice from social influencers can all help retailers nudge this important group of consumers to checkout.

Luke Griffiths, UK General Manager, Klarna, said: “Our insight proves that the online customer journey is more complex than ever, with shoppers being driven by emotional factors. Retailers must develop EQ to deliver a positive online customer experience that smooths the highs and lows.

“Payment is still a sticking point for many consumers – with one in four feeling frustrated when the checkout doesn’t remember their details and one in four millennials saying that they are more likely to complete a purchase if one-click payments are in place. Competition in the marketplace is fierce, winners will be retailers that build shopper affinity by offering a fast, easy checkout with flexible payment options.”

And new analysis by the University of Reading, commissioned by KLARNA UK, offers advice for retailers on how to engage hearts as well as minds to reach today’s online shopper, while offering academic insight into future commerce trends.

Dr. Julia Vogt, assistant professor in Psychology at the University of Reading, commented: “Applying behavioural psychology can help us understand what consumers love and hate about online shopping. Emotional factors can cause hesitation in the process which can derail a purchase right up until the final payment. By understanding the role of heart as well as the head, retailers can create effective customer engagement strategies to nudge consumers to conversion.”

  • Analysis and advisory report for merchants – Emotional eCommerce – from Klarna UK and Reading University
  • Infographics on the generational and gender differences of online shoppers
  • Infographic on millennial emotions at each stage of the online buying journey

VAHAN JEWELER UNVEILS NEW DESIGN WITH FRESH SLEEK LOOK

VAHAN DESIGNER KEEPS FINDING NEW WAYS TO KEEP COLLECTIONFRESH, POLISHED & SLEEK

Vahan’s Greg Der Calousdian is A Master of Design and His Newest Design “Nuvo” is No Exception 

NEW YORK, USA, 2017-Sep-11 — /EPR Retail News/ —  Greg Der Calousdian, VP of Design, has created a new look to join the company’s signature 14k gold floral beaded petal design.  The Nuvo look has clean and minimalistic lines that that will appeal to a more contemporary woman.   According to Greg, Nuvo is:

For the woman who is looking for something polished, smooth, and understated

The new design element is on rings, bracelets and earrings and can be seen in the Buckle, Le Cercle, Cross, Diamond Line, Halo, and Pavé Bangle Collections, with more collections soon to be added.

Despite this new design being a departure from the classic Vahan look, it still makes use of the signature two-tone gold and silver metals.  Nuvo also stays true to its classic look with the use of semi-precious and precious stones including Diamonds, Blue Topaz, London Blue Topaz, Rhodolite, Garnet, Black Onyx, Peridot, Chrome Diopside, and Citrine.

When asked what the reasoning was for the creation of Nuvo, Greg stated “Vahan has had tremendous success with our ornate petal design.  With Nuvo, I felt that it was time to appeal to a wider clientele. Nuvo features a sleeker alternative which is more tailored and contemporary.   It offers a forward-looking style that I think women will love.”

The Nuvo look is available August 2017 and starts at $1,000.  The line is available at various retailers throughout the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean.  A list of retailers can be found on the Vahan website at www.vahanjewelry.com.

VAHAN JEWELRY LAUNCHES “HOMME” ITS VERY FIRST MEN’S COLLECTION

NEW YORK, USA, 2017-Sep-11 — /EPR Retail News/ — Historically, Vahan Jewelry only designed pieces that were specifically for women. However, the company has now expanded to include “Homme”, it’s very first men’s collection.

When asked why now? Why expand to men’s jewelry? Greg Der Calousdian, VP of Design responded by saying “Many men feel the need to differentiate themselves from the masses, and choose to do that through self-expression. Those of us who are more fashion conscious will often do it with accessories. That’s why I felt it was time to really bring Vahan into the world of Men’s jewelry.”

Vahan Homme is versatile, contemporary, and delivers fashion savoir faire to the male masses. The collection includes rings, pendants, and a unique line of reversible bracelets. These diverse pieces highlight the brands ability to create aesthetically appealing designs.

“Our Homme collection is geared to add a little pop to a man’s style. A small token of panache to pair with a lonely wrist watch or wedding ring. I’ve created brand new designs for men such as the Pyramid collection, as well as put a more masculine twist on existing Vahan styles like the Buckle bracelet and Tiger cuff. Homme is an exciting new line that will attract men who want to make a statement,” explained Calousdian.

The Homme Collection starts at $625 and is available at various retailers throughout the U.S., Canada, and the Caribbean.  A list of retailers can be found on Vahan’s website at www.vahanjewelry.com.

MirroCool launches a smart mirror for the fashionista

Discover MirroCool, a smart mirror for the fashionista.

MirroCool launches a smart mirror for the fashionista

On the runways & tech world meet

San Francisco, CA, 2017-Aug-24 — /EPR Retail News/ — Today, we’re living in a culture where we want to capture and share every beautiful look and outfits through a lens and sometimes, there just isn’t anyone else who is around to do it. Do you know what that means? It’s time to snap a selfie!

There’s a new player to help all fashion lovers share their tips and looks: MirroCool the selfie smart mirror that snaps and directly syncs up to your smartphone and to the MirroCloud.

Imagine being able to take a selfie without extending your arm and having to deal with that weird angle that it creates? Or being able to easily create a stylebook and share how great you look wearing different hairstyles? Stand back, wink and there you go. You got yourself a selfie. Yes, smile, wink, and blink. That’s all you have to do!

With MirroCool’s facial gesture recognition (FGR) system, one wink will activate the high-definition digital camera, allowing users to stand in front of the mirror and take a selfie with absolutely zero obstructions! Just smile and the MirroCool smart mirror does the rest. Genius? We know – and that’s why we created it so fashionistas like you can capture those fabulous moments even before you leave the house. And with smart learning #AI, your likes and dislikes will be remembered, making a shot as sharp as a snap.

Here are some fun ideas you can do with your selfies:

1. Create a stylebook: the MirroCool app will allow you to collect photos of yourself from every angle and generate a stylebook of outfit options for easy access. You’ll never have to stress about how you look from the side in that flowy, bohemian dress again!

2. Snap and print: There’s nothing like sharing those selfies with the world, but why not make it different by printing them and assembling them in a book format. If Kim Kardashian can do it in her book Selfish, you can, too.

Get in touch if you would like to find out more about MirroCool and our Kickstarter campaign, and visit MirroCool.com

3. Add a quote: While filters and frames can be popular, mix it up with your favorite quote or song lyric on the photo! There are many great free photo editing software options that will allow you to perfect this hands-free selfie once it’s snapped!

4. Scrapbook time: Create a physical or digital scrapbook that documents important moments of your life, starting from the one in front of MirroCool that could commence some of your most important days.

Premiala Releases New Basting Brush Set

LONDON, United Kingdom, 2017-Aug-23 — /EPR Retail News/ — Premiala BBQ and Kitchenware today announced the launch of a kitchen and BBQ Basting Brush Set.  The kit includes two cotton mop heads and a silicon mop head which can each be screwed onto the 14” wooden handle as required.  Also included in the sale is an e-book entitled ‘Basting Mastery’ which explains how to use the product and provides some basting recipes.

Premiala General Manager Greg Carder informed the press this kit was a result of its close strategic relationship with Italy’s famed 039 BBQ team.  “We are honored to have ongoing co-operation with the 037 team by sponsoring their entries into Europe’s World BBQ competition circuit, and we highly value the expert insight they give into Premiala’s product development.  We’re sure users will appreciate using products designed by experts who really know what a high performance mopping kit needs.”

Noting that cotton heads eventually need replacing, Premiala also sells spare cotton mop heads at a reasonable price.

039 BBQ Team leader Mr Luca De Simone, said they were thrilled to work with Premiala on the new mop, and that Premiala’s dedication to product research was evident in this new product. “Basting is an important part of our competition work, and we’re confident users are going to love this new mop kit.  The fact it has two interchangeable heads of different materials (cotton and silicon), the handle length, and ease of cleaning make it arguably the best available on the market today.  It’s what we’ve come to expect from Premiala, and look forward to using it this season”

Premiala’s Basting Brush Set is unusual in that included both cotton and silicon mop heads, as most basting brushes are either cotton or silicon, meaning users must purchase two brushes or decide between them.  There are times when either material is a poor choice, so a single mop handle with two interchangeable heads is a novel idea.

More information about the Basting Mop Kit is available from the manufacturer’s website.

Premiala Announces Launch of Stainless Steel Meat Shredder Claws

LONDON, 2017-Aug-23 — /EPR Retail News/ — Premiala BBQ and Kitchenware today announced the launch of a set of Stainless Steel Meat Shredder Claws.  Provided as a set of two, the claws are primarily used for shredding cooked meat to create pulled pork or beef, however they are also useful for moving large portions of meat such as whole chicken or turkey.  Also included in the sale is an e-book entitled ‘Grill Safety and Care’ which helps users get the best results from their grill or smoker.

“Everyone loves a serving of slow-roasted pork, but most shredding tools on the market today are full of compromises”, Premiala General Manager Greg Carder said today.  “Most claws are made of thin, cheap plastic, and while it’s easy to clean the claws themselves bend and flex when shredding or moving meat.  This means users can never quite know when the claw will slip and drop the whole cut of meat.  A few metal units do exist, but most either have plastic handles which compromise effective use, or wooden handles which eventually split and are harder to properly clean.”

“Premiala’s Stainless Steel Meat Claws address all these compromises in a single product”, he added.

Premiala’s Meat Claw is manufactured from a 2mm thick plate of food-safe 304-grade stainless steel, which ensures the prongs won’t break or bend and that food won’t be contaminated in any way.  The handle is a moulded oval shape which matches the shape of the user’s hand, and comprises a solid ABS core covered in a thick layer of food-safe rubber.  This provides both a strong center core, and a premium soft-touch feel as well as high levels of grip even when the product is wet or oily.  All components are dishwasher safe, meaning Premiala’s Stainless Steel Pulled Pork Shredder Claws can be easily cleaned.

More information about the Pulled Pork Shredder Claws is available from the manufacturer’s website.

Premiala Receives 200 Product Reviews On Its Meat Injector in Canada at 100% Positive Rating

How to use the Premiala Meat Injector

LONDON, United Kingdom, 2017-Aug-16 — /EPR Retail News/ — Premiala BBQ and Kitchenware today announced the posting of the 200th Amazon product review on its stainless steel meat injector kit. Significantly, while it has more than double the reviews as its nearest competitors (and thus more than twice the opportunities of a negative experience), Premiala is unique amongst these competitors in having a 100% positive review rate.

“We are so pleased about this milestone on a number of levels”, General Manager Greg Carder said today. “200 is of course just a number, but significant numbers like this cause us to pause and reflect on what got us here and where we’re going. We’re so thrilled our Canadian shoppers have appreciated a top quality product and the service we continue to offer. As the market evolves and new competitors enter the market it’s very rewarding to have so many buyers happy with what is unashamedly a premium product and a premium price.”

To put the numbers in perspective, Premiala’s two nearest competitors have 71 reviews (including four negative reviews) and 47 reviews (including six negative reviews) respectively. While products with low review numbers can manage 100% positive rates for a time, it is a rare feat for a product with so many reviews to have exclusively positive reviews just from organic customer behavior as Premiala has achieved (i.e. when the manufacturer has not ‘bought’ reviews as some vendors have previously done against Amazon policy). Premiala’s reviews have come from customers who have actually bought and used the product, and are clearly singing its praises.

Premiala also sells its injectors at Amazon Germany , Amazon UK, Amazon Italy and Amazon USA, where it has likewise received highly (though not exclusively) positive reviews.

More information about the Meat Injector is available from the manufacturer’s website.

Making Change At Walmart: “WALMART PROPOSES MORE MANUFACTURING JOBS, EVEN AS IT DESTROYS THEM”

WASHINGTON D.C., USA, 2017-Aug-03 — /EPR Retail News/ — In response to Walmart’s release of a “Policy Roadmap to Renew U.S. Manufacturing,” Making Change At Walmart Director Randy Parraz has issued the following statement:  

“Walmart doesn’t care about creating supplier manufacturing jobs in America, it cares about getting the cheapest product made, regardless of the cost. 

The release of a ‘policy roadmap’ is a pathetic publicity stunt. Sadly, Walmart pretends to propose more U.S. manufacturing jobs, at a time when its pressure is destroying them, like in Milton, Penn., and also at a time when it is recruiting more overseas vendors in China and other countries.

If Walmart wants to create more American manufacturing – the answer is simple: buy American,” concludes Parraz.

Premiala Includes Needle Cleaning Brushes with all its Meat Injectors

LONDON, 2017-Aug-03 — /EPR Retail News/ — Premiala BBQ and Kitchenware today announced an upgrade to its popular stainless steel meat injector kit. The company now includes small custom needle cleaning brushes as part of the kit.

Speaking about the upgrade, Premiala General Manager referred to it as “the latest” in a number of market-leading upgrades. “Our goal at Premiala has always been to put the customer first and listen to feedback about what they want. By doing this we’ve been able to understand what users actually need to ensure the changes we make will make life easier for them, and these brushes are just the latest example of this. Some of our customers reported difficulty in cleaning the inside of their needles after use, a problem which these brushes rectify.”

The company advised that at the time it launched its meat injector, competitor market offerings were a basic kit of an injector plus two needles. Premiala was the first to include spare o-rings, a small steak needle and extensive use of stainless steel, most of which have subsequently been picked up by competitors.

There are two brushes in the new kit – the larger one fits inside the 12 hole marinade needle, and the smaller one fits inside the small steak needle. They ensure all remnants of meat and marinade can be cleaned from the needle after use.

Luca De Simone, a member of one of Italy’s prestigious 037 BBQ competition team and Premiala product lover, said Premiala was a company which genuinely put the customer first. “We use Premiala products because Premiala listens to customer feedback and acts on it. This means we get products which do what we need on the competition circuit. They have been trailblazers for quality and new features and it’s great to see this latest feature which we’re sure others will love too!” He added that “while it’s a shame Premiala’s competitors copy a lot of their innovations, the end result is that the market ends up with products that are better appointed as a result of Premiala’s ongoing product development.”

Premiala also sells its injectors at Amazon Germany , Amazon UK, Amazon Italy and Amazon France.

More information about the Meat Injector is available from the manufacturer’s website.

New Temando State of Shipping in Commerce Report Reveals Gap Between U.S. Retailers and Prime-centric Online Shoppers

San Francisco, CA, USA, 2017-Jun-29 — /EPR Retail News/ — Temando, a leading shipping and fulfillment software platform for commerce, today announced United States retailer and consumer survey data from its annual research report State of Shipping in Commerce. The survey polled 270 small and medium (SME) and enterprise retailers and nearly 1300 consumers about a range of shipping-related challenges they face.

“The State of Shipping in Commerce report shows the increasing significance of shipping and fulfillment, and highlights the continued gap between retailer capability and consumer expectation. The missing piece for many retailers is a solution that balances CX-friendly shipping experiences with automation and efficiency,” said Carl Hartmann, co-founder and CEO of Temando. “Shipping is truly the last frontier for commerce, and retailers who master the use of technology to optimize the process are giving themselves the best chance to not only survive, but thrive in these trying times.”

2017 brings unprecedented competition for retailers. Not only has Amazon set the standard for how to do retail well, it’s set the new consumer standard on shipping. Prime-like shopping is the new benchmark with Americans demanding ultimate convenience and immediacy at a low cost. Temando’s 2017 State of Shipping in Commerce report uncovers the evolution of the American retail landscape in the last twelve months, and highlights where retailers need to be today to reap the rewards of tomorrow. Key findings and supporting data below.

Consumers Want and Retailers Need Better Control of Shipping

Multiple shipping options are critical to CX. Consumers want more options to control their deliveries – they want to dictate how, when and where products are shipped.

  • The survey revealed that 41 percent of consumers want hyperlocal delivery and 38 percent would pay for it. However, only 24 percent of retailers offer it now and 18 percent of retailers would like to offer it in the next 12 months.
  • 40 percent of consumers expect to access Amazon-prime style memberships in the next 1-3 years vs. 25 percent of retailers who plan to introduce these services in the same period.
  • Almost 100 percent of shoppers would like delivery date estimates but currently over half of retailers don’t offer this feature.

 

Shipping causes shopping cart abandonment. Compared to Temando’s 2016 survey, shoppers have a more genuine intent to purchase in 2017 but high shipping fees combined with lengthy wait times is still a serious issue.

  • 73 percent of consumers are loyal to brands and return if they have a positive experience, while 50 percent of consumers won’t buy again if it’s a negative experience.
  • 54 percent of shoppers abandoned their carts due to expensive shipping, while 39 percent abandoned their carts due to no free shipping, and 26 percent abandoned their carts due to slow shipping.
  • 47 percent of shoppers will abandon their carts and buy from a competitor’s site when a premium delivery option is not available.

Shipping Ambitions Tempered by Rising Business Costs

There is a major disconnect between retailers and consumers when it comes to shipping expectations. While retailers understand that consumers want free shipping, they’re grappling with the rising costs of shipping online orders.

  • 59 percent of shoppers will opt to buy from a bricks and mortar store if they perceive that the delivery fee for buying the same item online is too high.
  • 66 percent of shoppers think that the high cost of shipping is not relative to the experience provided.
  • Whereas, 51 percent of retailers listed the rising cost of carrier services as a key challenge.

Retailers are hemorrhaging costs from premium delivery services.  While retailers are experimenting with premium delivery services, they have limited knowledge of how much these services cost and/or are held back by operational barriers. Temando’s research highlights that retailers are struggling to find a profitable model for premium delivery services, and as a result, retailer adoption has slowed down.

  • 53 percent of retailers offered same-day delivery in 2016 compared to only 29 percent this year.
  • 40 percent of shoppers wanted hyperlocal delivery in 2016, but only 24 percent of retailers offered it this year.
  • 34 percent of retailers in 2016 offered weekend/afterhours delivery in 2016 compared to only 25 percent this year.

 

Retailers Who Succeed in Shipping Win Big

 

Some retailers are getting it right and turning shipping into a profit center, according to Temando’s research. While many retailers are struggling to put in place a profitable shipping and fulfillment model, there are savvy retailers reaping measurable rewards from innovating their supply chains and offering better shipping choices.

  • 43 percent of retailers found that offering better shipping choices created more revenue.
  • 33 percent of enterprise retailers reduced their cart abandonment rate when offering more shipping choices, while 50 percent of mid-market retailers experienced increased sales.
  • 27 percent of small retailers reduced carrier costs and 47 percent of micro retailers improved customer service with new shipping choices.

Hartmann concluded, “Competition in e-commerce is not going to subside – in fact, the scale and speed of it is accelerating with the continued growth of Amazon and international shopping. It’s not only U.S. consumers shopping abroad more, the number of cross-border shoppers globally is increasing. The retailers who can cross borders and use this changing landscape to evolve will be successful at e-commerce.”

Additional Survey Highlights

A major point of difference for retailers is the total experience they offer to consumers – from providing multiple delivery options to better tracking to a seamless returns process. Temando’s study reveals retailers can profit from introducing good shipping experiences to shoppers and grow basket size with delivery campaigns. Shoppers are willing to pay up to $18 for same-day delivery and $19 for international shipping, and 65 percent would increase basket size to qualify for free premium shipping. Tracking is an area for improvement with only 31 percent of retailers offering email tracking updates today, despite demand from 78 percent of shoppers. Returns influence conversion with 43 percent of Americans stating they would shop more online if offered free and easy returns.

This data is compared against data gathered for the 2016 State of Shipping in Commerce report where possible, with patterns and differences outlined. Based on these findings, we predict a pattern of outcomes based on the theoretical propositions we come across in the data analysis process.

Amazon-Whole Foods Deal to Heighten Industry Competition

Amazon-Whole Foods Deal to Heighten Industry Competition

The acquisition will further immerse Amazon in the $611.9-billion Supermarkets and Grocery Stores industry, where Whole Foods holds a 2.7% market share.

Los Angeles, CA, 2017-Jun-16 — /EPR Retail News/ —This morning, Amazon announced plans to acquire Whole Foods Market in a $13.7 billion deal. The acquisition will further immerse the e-tailer in the $611.9-billion Supermarkets and Grocery Stores industry, where Whole Foods holds a 2.7% market share.

According to IBISWorld Industry Analyst Madeline Hurley, “Although industry revenue is only set to rise at an annualized rate of 0.8% over the five years to 2022, the transaction will allow the online retail giant to boost not only its grocery sales, but expand its brick-and-mortar presence.”

This is not the first time Amazon has dabbled in brick-and-mortar retailing. In 2015 the company  opened a physical book store in Seattle and now operates a total of eight locations nationwide. Over the next five years as the retail sector becomes even more competitive, retail powerhouses like Amazon and Walmart are expected to invest in both online and physical stores in order to maximize their market share.

ENJOY A LUNCH TOTE WITH BUILT-IN ODOR ELIMINATION FROM METRIC PRODUCTS

CULVER CITY, CA, USA, 2017-Jun-15 — /EPR Retail News/ — Metric Products, a full-service, family-owned and operated company has just today launched their latest functional and high quality product, a Lunch Tote Bag. Metric Products works hard to design, create and manufacture a range of products that are functional and embody good design, simplicity, and unmatched beauty, and this new Lunch Tote Bag, with a revolutionary odor-eliminating pouch built right into its design, is no exception.

Passionate about developing products that provide simple fixes to life’s everyday struggles, Metric Products designed a tote bag that is portable, eye-catching, and functional with no unwanted food-related odors.

“Everyone knows that bringing lunch into school or work is a much healthier option than eating out at local food establishments,” said Rita Haft, Founder and Owner of Metric Products. “Since lunch bags tend to get smelly, owners throw them away and succumb to the allure of cafeteria food. With our new design, we’re hoping to thwart this desire and promote healthier eating.”

The new lunch tote fits all standard sized lunch boxes with extra space for drinks, while keeping all food and snacks at just the right temperature. At the same time, it eliminates any odors that come from new and used food in the compartments.

The product is designed with a durable zipper to keep all food and beverages secure. It also comes with an inside stash pocket to hold cutlery and other valuable kitchen utensils. Due to its origami design, the bag can be folded flat for incredibly easy storage.

“Most importantly, this is a reusable product that will help everyone mitigate their environmental footprint,” said Rita Haft. “Spread the word on the official launch of our new lunch tote, and head on over to Amazon.com to get a better visual of this on-the-go product solution.”
