A survey of 600 U.S. retailers and 2400 shoppers found that consumers preferred in-store shopping experiences. Customers’ preference for in-store shopping has risen since 2020, while those who prefer online shopping over in-store shopping have decreased, according to the survey released by PYMNTS Intelligence in collaboration with Visa Acceptance Solutions. 

Forty-four percent of shoppers said they complete most of their shopping at physical stores. However, the survey also found that only 20 percent of shoppers use digital coupons and discounts for in-store purchases. 

The preference for in-store pickups of online orders has steadily grown since 2020, with 31 percent of consumers using those services from retailers. According to the survey, 65 percent of shoppers who use in-store pickup report satisfaction with the service.

Retirement can be a great part of life. As Nanji Singadia puts it, “I want to retire and enjoy my life. I’m 78 now and I just want to take a break.” That said, Nanji decided that the best way to move ahead was to contact the experts at Wilkerson. He chose them because he knew that closing a store is a heavy lift. To maximize sales and move on to the next, best chapter of his life, he called Wilkerson—but not before asking his industry friends for their opinion. He found that Wilkerson was the company most recommended and says their professionalism, experience and the homework they did before the launch all helped to make his going out of business sale a success. “Wilkerson were working on the sale a month it took place,” he says. “They did a great job.”
