Snappy Shopper reports soaring sales driven by customer loyalty

Home delivery platform Snappy Shopper has reported a bumper summer for sales, as the demand for delivery rose with the soaring temperatures.

From 1st June – 31st August, the business saw record-breaking order numbers and GMV, continuing the high growth achieved post pandemic as customers continue to support their favourite local retailers.

The ACS 2022 Local Shop Report highlighted that convenience stores generated over £45bn in sales over the last year, with that figure set to grow to more than £48bn by 2025. This demonstrates that the convenience sector is going from strength to strength. Snappy Shopper invests significantly in supporting local businesses to drive incremental sales and expand their customer base. The report also highlighted that the average basket spend is £7.27, whilst retailers reported a £26 average basket spend through Snappy.

Supporting customers with the rising cost-of-living was another factor that contributed to Snappy Shopper’s success. The app partnered with 150 stores across Scotland to give thousands of Scottish families the chance to top-up lunch supplies for 1p. Both Snappy Shopper and participating retailers picked up the cost of the promotion, while Snappy Shopper is also investing heavily in marketing to raise awareness and support local retailers.

“The demand for home delivery and the desire to shop locally is greater than ever with Snappy Shopper reaching another sales milestone in the last quarter,” said Mike Callachan, CEO at Snappy Shopper. “Our model of partnering with retailers and using our world class technology to enable the existing network of convenience stores, is the most sustainable way to meet the growing consumer demand for rapid grocery delivery.”
