Click and Collect Shopping is a comprehensive search engine highlighting traditional retail stores that offer online e-commerce with the option to order online and pick up directly from the store. This model of business helps consumers purchase their orders with ease at the comfort of their home or office then pick up their order at their local retailer. This eliminates the pain of waiting days of anticipation for shipping to arrive from your shipping company and the costs associated with shipping.
Online retailers who offer this click and collect service may also refer to the collected products as “Local pick-up”, “Click and Reserve”, “Buy Online Pickup in Store” or “BOPIS”, “Bricks and Clicks”, “Curbside Pickup”, “Pickup”, “In Store Pickup”, “Reserve and Collect”, “Pick Up In‑Club” and more.
The first use of click and collect was in 2008 by Tesco supermarket in Staffordshire. Since then, more than 1,200 retailers are offering this service to their customers. Some of the most known online retailers using click and collect are Amazon.co.uk, Argos, Tesco Direct, The Hut Group, Target and just about any major store now offers this service.
Click and Collect is popular because it enables a buyer to order products that are not available in a local store, for example a brand new release of a video game. Buyers have access to a wider range of products and brands, and can therefore choose from a larger selection.
For some shoppers, click and collect is more convenient than using another delivery service. Buyers can order their products on the internet or on their mobile devices while sitting in their home, but still have it delivered to the local store of their choice. Buyers do not need to have a car, driver’s license or any special skills to get the product delivered to the store of their choice.
Click and Collect Shopping is a NonStop Marketing internet property.
