Neuroscience Report

Every area of retail has been transformed by the pandemic-driven, record-breaking surge in online shopping. Worldwide ecommerce sales are predicted to hit $7.4 trillion per year by 2025, so the future looks bright for ecommerce – and this forces retailers and carriers in a constant race to keep up with evolving customer expectations. With delivery experience (DX) in the spotlight more than ever, 76% of shoppers said that knowing they have a delivery arriving makes them feel happy and excited. Retailers unanimously agree that post-purchase is the area in which they can make serious ground on competitive advantage. DX makes winners, and losers.

But how do you know where to start? How do you give your customer a five star experience, from purchase, to delivery, to returns?

Have you ever used neuroscience to get inside the mind of your customer?

You probably remember our famous Sorted Secret Shopper Report. This year we’ve dug even deeper, launching new customer journey analysis. With a twist….

We’ve mystery shopped ten huge fashion retailers, to get first-hand experience of what a typical customer journey may look like. Deep diving on the all-important post-purchase experience.

But we don’t like to do things by halves here at Sorted. We’ve enlisted an expert panel of neuroscientists, who carried out in-depth neuroscientific analysis on the brand journeys.

This one-of-a-kind research delves into the mind of your customer, and predicts the likely human response to online shopping stimuli. It’s not just DX; it’s science.

Inside...

In this report, we go brain-deep and place the DX of ten leading retailers under the neuroscientific microscope. We share the findings, with actionable takeaways for you, the retailer, so you can turn inspiration into action.
