eCommerce Customer Expectations: Evolving Trends and Future Strategies for Parcel Delivery
Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2025 | 9:00–9:50 AM CT
The package delivery experience is becoming virtually the only physical interaction between brands and customers—and a poor experience drives buyers away. According to research, over 40% of consumers stop buying from a brand after a bad delivery or packaging experience. This session will share real-world survey data on evolving consumer preferences, emerging trends, and solutions to create repeat buyers and more efficient operations. Attendees will leave with actionable steps to meet customer expectations while controlling their costs.
Learning Objectives:
- How to offer delivery options without overwhelming customers
