Sometimes Common Sense Is Revolutionary

Consider: Your biggest retail tenants are now reporting online sales growth of 26.6% while in-store sales fell 5.3%. (See Article Here) Many are now reporting online sales close to 20% of total sales. (See Article Here) Major anchor tenants are cannibalizing their in-store shopping center sales because their customers want the convenience of online shopping AND their competitors are trying to catch up. (These reports are all readily available online.) Not a great trend for shopping centers.

Now Consider: No consumer wants 3 to 10 day delivery for online orders shipped across the country from some remote warehouse which is the root cause for the 20% to 30% return rates that destroy your tenants’ online profitability, particularly when your tenants’ best selling inventory is already sitting in your Shopping Centers – 10 minutes from your customers’ homes & offices !

Retailer "Space Age" Multi-Channel Marketing & Distribution Program

Your stores hold the secret to uncovering your “Acres Of Diamonds” solution that increases profits 75%.

35% of all core retail sales will soon be Online as busy consumers adopt online shopping with continuously growing momentum.

But, Chain stores are losing the online market share battle with web-only retailers, a dangerous trend for chain store marketing executives. (see article Click Here) Heavy discounting is not the solution: Space Age service is. 

Every consumer alive prefers fast, economical delivery (“Beam-me-up-Scotty”). Nobody DESIRES the current 3 to 10 day delivery for online orders. And, as you know, 3 to 10 day delivery is the root cause for the 20% to 30% return rates that destroy current e-commerce profitability…..an overwhelming challenge for your e-commerce team.

Your Acres of Diamonds: Use the power of your stores together with our 100% turnkey ROOF (Rapid Online Order Fulfillment) program to quickly offer your customers affordable & convenient online shopping & delivery from your stores with 30 to 45 minute service 7 / 24 / 365 with far less cost, virtually zero returns and amazingly higher profits than your current e-commerce program.

Simple Common Sense: Your customers’ homes and offices are 10 minutes away from your local stores & inventory that are sitting there, ready to go. Why ship things half-way across the country from a remote warehouse in 3 to 10 days with higher costs and 20% to 30% return rates when, at less cost and virtually no returns, you can get your products to your customers when they really want them – 30 to 45 minutes 24 / 7 / 365 ? Your store sales will go up, as will your inventory turns and your profits plus you will have happier customers and more of them. 

ROOF is your lowest cost multi-channel marketing & distribution solution to the above sales & profit dilemma. 

Your stores are already fully equipped – nothing else is required and there is nothing extra for you or your store staff to do as ROOF is 100% Turnkey - We Do It All For You. All you have to do is “Flip The Switch” . . .

Only ROOF offers on-demand In-Store shopping with ‘regular’ delivery in 30 to 45 minutes for all consumer daily needs – truly a “Space Age” hybrid of conventional national ‘next-day/week service’ courier companies. 

Standing by to turn on your ROOF Space Age service for myriad new customers and sustainable higher profits.
