It’s been quite a while since I wrote my last post. Finally I’ve been able to write this on a Sunday. It will be followed-up by a series of other posts related to cart abandonment.
Delivery Dates, Return Policy & Shipping were the three biggest hurdles for customers abandoning their shopping cart. We shall study how the Delivery Dates impacts cart abandonment.
Below is the infographic that clearly indicates the importance of Delivery Time, Shipping & Returns processes.
Delivery Dates are an important part of online shopping, with over 40% of online shoppers indicated that they have abandoned their shopping cart because of an issue with the estimated delivery date. Of online shoppers that have abandoned their cart due to estimated delivery time frame, a quarter indicated that no estimated delivery was shown. Of those who were shown an estimated delivery date and abandoned their cart, 64% of the time the estimated delivery time was 5 days or more. Showing estimated delivery time is a “quick win” for retailers who are not currently doing so.
