(2 mins) So, where do these statistics come from? Well, we’re lucky in e-tail, because once upon a time, there were no reports on delivery specifically to do with e-commerce.Which is an advantage. How? Because, unlike many reports in many industries, where studies on new concepts are often a sub-set of a large report, or simply too wide to be of any practical use, e-retail used this as an opportunity to commission some really decent and practical reports which you can literally read, look up you sector and customer type, and gauge exactly what you should be doing or not, and, of course, how are you doing in relation to your customers.So what should you be reading. Well, there 3 reports you should look at:Royal Mail Delivery Matters – Umbrella report about delivery landscape in general – if buying a house, equivalent to area check, general info on type of house etc.IMRG Consumer Delivery Survey – this affects your internal operations as well as your customer set. It tells you how much you could save by getting delivery right, what the opportunities can be exploited and also, feedback from shoppers themselves. Buying a house – it’s the structural report as well as what potentially the house will be worth if you were to move in, sort out the problems etc. There’s a new one just released and Andrew (Starkey) will be talking about that after me.But, before that, I am going to prize out some key findings from the third element of the e-commerce information jigsawSnow Valley e-Commerce Retail Delivery Report – this is what is actually happening out there. It looks at your competitors and actually what is being offered in terms of delivery services, pricing etc. In our buying a house analogy, it answers all those questions such as is the area good, what are the schools like, is it expensive to repair, are the communications right and will I like the neighbours…! Etc
