Home delivery platform, Snappy Shopper, reports 50 million products have been sold through the app, following a record-breaking year of orders in 2022 so far. Snappy Shopper claims its unique selling point of offering products at on-the-shelf prices, versus its competitor’s expensive inflated rates is paying off, driving record levels of home delivery orders month on month.
With the current cost-of-living crisis, shopping habits have been rapidly evolving with consumers becoming increasingly conscious of their spending. This has resulted in more frequent top-up shopping to manage outgoings and trade down in the products they buy. These trends only emphasise the importance of local high streets.
Despite more constrained spending, shoppers still value convenience, and home delivery continues to go from strength to strength. Snappy Shopper is uniquely positioned for growth in this environment due to the business model of empowering independent retailers to have an omnichannel business. The best-performing Snappy Shopper retailers are making 200 – 400 deliveries per day. The app is also an essential tool for customers who find it difficult to leave their homes.
Alongside this, Snappy Shopper is spearheading a campaign of cost-of-living initiatives, such as popular penny bundles, that enable convenience stores to offer value for money and compete with supermarkets.
A Snappy customer from Kilmarnock says: “I use Snappy Shopper regularly, it is a lifesaver for anything you need, whether you’ve forgotten something or if the weathers bad it means you don’t have to leave home. My husband is retired and has various medical conditions, and I took early retirement this year due to my health, so it’s brilliant for us.”
Mike Callachan, CEO at Snappy Shopper, says: “Since launching Snappy Shopper, we’ve enabled independent c-stores to remain relevant in the modern day and age by providing them the world class technology required to run a successful home delivery operation. Against the backdrop of rising costs and the growing number of dark stores across the UK, our proposition continues to go from strength to strength as more capital-intensive models fall. Recent initiatives, such as FMGC brand partnerships and 1p bundles, have further boosted c-stores with the tools to give back to local communities and stand out from the competition.”
