JCPenny's In-store Pickup Successes

Great little article over on Mobile Commerce Daily:

Here is a snippet from the piece:

JCPenney is attributing a portion of its holiday success to an online order, in-store pickup program even as a number of other retailers ran into obstacles with similar omnichannel strategies.

For retailers it is difficult to make a mobile order and in-store pickup program work flawlessly, as there are many steps that can go wrong from the time the order is placed until the customer picks up the product. JCPenney saw a 3.9 percent increase of holiday sales compared to last year, a large portion of which was made up by in-store pickup due to the retailer’s focus on creating a seamless omnichannel experience.

Happy Reading,
