This 2017 vendor white paper presents quantitative survey results from 1,631 North American online shoppers across eight non-grocery categories. It defines four Click and Collect segments (Superconsumer, Occasional, Non-User, Lapsed) using CHAID analysis and demographic profiling. The study quantifies Superconsumer traits including higher purchase frequency, unplanned in-store add-ons averaging $40, lower return rates, and preference for in-store pickup and returns.

Key takeaways

Superconsumers are 24-49 year old females earning $50k+, using Click and Collect for 2+ years

Superconsumers shop online 45 times per year versus 39 times for Occasional consumers

26% of surveyed shoppers qualify as Superconsumers and 26% as Occasional consumers

Superconsumers add unplanned items worth $40 on average during pickup and return fewer items

Clear pickup instructions, pleasant in-store experience, and multi-channel notifications drive loyalty
