An inside look at dropshipping
How a well-executed dropshipping strategy offers an important opportunity to build customer loyalty and is a competitive differentiator in the retail industry.
Improving customer service and increasing sales—the two top priorities for omnichannel leaders—sound simple but are made difficult by complex networks, processes and technology. Among the innovative ways retail and distribution executives can achieve both goals is by strategically implementing a dropshipping strategy. Providing multiple fulfillment options increases convenience for shoppers while remaining affordable. When implemented the right way, this is a win-win scenario for retailers and distributors. Dropshipping increases item assortment, and in turn sales, without requiring additional capital investments in inventory.
