LONDON, Dec. 5, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- nShift, the global leader in delivery management software, has released a guide designed to help retailers best navigate the challenges, change and consumer choices they are likely to face in the year ahead.

Available to download, 'Delivering for shoppers in 2024' explores some of the emerging trends in retail and how these could impact each of the major shopping events of the year. It also shows how getting the delivery management and experience right, will help retailers keep a competitive edge

The seven trends outlined in the guide are:

2. The continuing rise of social commerce
3. The centrality of the customer experience
4. A non-negotiable approach to returns

They expect retailers to respond to the ongoing cost-of-living challenges and adapt to the ways that technology is transforming their behavior. But they do not expect any of this to come at the cost of a great customer experience. The delivery experience is at the heart of how people perceive and judge that customer experience."
