WHY YOUR BUSINESS NEEDS HOME DELIVERY SERVICE
Business residential home deliveries have increased 10-fold due to COVID-19th. Residential delivery service is the most convenient way to get your products into the hands of your customers. In the past, we mostly saw it used for food deliveries. However, there are now many stores and businesses offering same-day -delivery service with some offering 2-hour delivery service options. Sephora, PetSmart, and Target are delivering same day.
Most importantly, due to the “Amazon effect,” consumer expectations for delivery are rapidly evolving. Purchasing decisions are becoming more and more influenced by the delivery experience versus any other type of interaction. Traditional delivery standards cannot meet the timeliness and quality that consumers are demanding and it’s quickly becoming a massive challenge for businesses nationwide.
