Delivery Saver Program

A retailer moved beyond flat shipping by designing flexible delivery plans by day and time slot, supported by eCoupon refunds and priority rules. The programme reframed delivery as part of the online value proposition, with the stated aim of increasing sales while improving customer experience and satisfaction.

Qualitative outcome signals

When shipping is treated only as a cost, every customer receives essentially the same proposition. The retailer needed a model that could reflect when customers wanted delivery, what they valued and how savings could strengthen the overall online experience.

Turning delivery cost into customer choice

1: Understanding the value equation

3: Returning savings consistently
