Research
DTC checkout experience is failing to deliver
Our latest research finds at DTC brands must optimise their pre-purchase customer experience or risk losing sales.
Key findings
Just 38% of the brands offered next-day delivery. With the world returning to normal, the speed of delivery will once again be important to customers.
Next-day delivery is not common
Only 10% of the DTC brands offer a collection service, whether from store or from a parcel shop. This is far below industry averages, where 87% offer this service.
Collection services are lacking
Just 20% of the DTC retailers offer ‘buy now, pay later’ services at checkout. These payment methods are increasingly popular with consumers so this is surprising.
‘Buy now, pay later’ is not popular?
