In the U.S., online sales make up about 2.5 per cent to 3 per cent – less than $10-billion (U.S.) – of the $857-billion grocery market, but that could rise to between $100-billion and $110-billion in sales by 2025, Mr. Blischok calculates. In Canada, food e-commerce makes up a tiny proportion of the grocery industry – a fraction of 1 per cent – but could also grow tenfold by 2025, his figures show.

Online grocery shopping is growing faster in the UK than elsewhere, and a lot can be learned from what’s happening there, especially related to shoppers’ response to supply and demand. Ocado is a good place to look.
Ocado, the pure-play online grocery retailer that’s driving UK growth in this sector, is a good place to look. Redburn has pulled together a very complete analysis (pdf) that lays out why and how Ocado is expected to grow. Here are two points that caught our attention: - An underlying principle for online grocery retail is that “supply creates demand,” so it makes sense that shoppers who have online grocery shopping experience are five times more likely to switch to Ocado than those with no experience.
- Also, here’s an interesting leading indicator – Redburn found that the number of Google searches for Ocado was a good predictor of Ocado sales gains.
BMC POV The current growth in online grocery shopping is being propelled by shoppers’ increasing use of and dependence on the internet, and lower costs made possible by new, higher-efficiency distribution systems.

Hospitality and Food & Beverage Industries Here, the intersection of digital with real-world falls into two main publication categories: 1. Pre-trip planning brochures and magazines: from downloadable grocery lists with coupons to inspirational vacation destination guides. 2. Digital flyers with on-the-go conveniences: examples include pamphlets with searchable recipes that can be accessed online or in grocery stores, and travel guides that work across devices and can be taken anywhere.

Here are some suggestions for retailers: - Make the application unique. Add unique features to your applications rather than just mirroring what you have on your main site. A good example would be Gilt, one of the most popular retailer applications, because they offer exclusive content and offers for their mobile app users.
- Make sure the app is easy to use. The reasons why people use mobile apps are convenience and simplicity. List all the information the consumer needs both online and offline.
- Add push notifications. People installed the app for a reason – adding functionality to casually remind consumers when a sale starts is a great way to boost engagement with the app.
- Make it social. Shopping is more fun when there is a social element included. Integrating social platforms like Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblr can be a great way to increase the reach of your app.
- Link the application to in-store activities and allow more interactions. Starbucks allows consumers to pay using their app and Amazon’s mobile application lets consumers scan a product’s barcode to show the price on Amazon. Some apps even allow you tocompare prices among different retailers.

Even now e-commerce is a rounding error in the U.S. market. ... Still, he concedes the online problem is challenging. He recounts a conversation at a director’s meeting held at the e-commerce headquarters in San Bruno in March, when he was asked how long it would take and much it would cost to build out the e-commerce operation. “It will take the rest of our careers and as much as we’ve got,” Mr. Ashe says he replied.

What does “inspiration” look like for a retailer? In a nutshell, it’s about storytelling. Noting that successful non-profits inspire and motivate donors through great storytelling, Mehta suggested that retailers ask themselves whether they can differentiate themselves from their customers, influencers and staff. “What if you could give employees the power to curate a collection of your products on your site or even other sites, then allow people like your influencers to put those products in their blogs, across social media, through digital and/or physical displays?” Mehta asked. “That’s inspiration. That’s what will differentiate you from others in our fulfillment-based world.”
Mehta cautioned that his company is still in stealth mode and still has much to learn in this area, but that early results exceeded the company’s expectations. Thanks to early adopters, as of mid-January, Marketvine had seen an average of 40 percent lift in conversion, a 7-8 percent increase in average order value and an 80 percent improvement in on-site engagement.

Wal-Mart is trying everything they can to beat Amazon at its own game: online retail. They're copycatting the Seattle web giant's same-day delivery and lockers services. But what they should be doing is focusing on the grocery aisles.

Hennes & Mauritz AB, looking to shrug off lower earnings and five months of same-store sales declines, outlined plans to expand aggressively this year and get an U.S. online shopping presence running this summer.
H&M continues to refine an online-sales model for the U.S. "Things are changing very quickly," said H&M's head of investor relations, Nils Vinge. "Especially with the ability to shop on smartphone apps, you have to be online to take part today." Mr. Vinge said as the September online launch approached last year, the company realized that it had underestimated the complexity of operating in a market where taxes vary by state, shoppers expect free shipping and the return of goods is standard procedure. "We couldn't just copy and paste the online shops that we operate in Europe," Mr. Vinge said. "Our volumes are so large, and the demands on us are equally large."

Walmart won’t say much about how much it sells online. Global E-Commerce CEO Neil Ashe will only say the company is on track to do more than $9 billion in annual online sales. But even if only half those sales come from people using the search engine, a 20 percent improvement still comes to almost $1 billion. For a company that has famously made its fortune on frugality, $1 billion for the price of 15 engineers is math Walmart surely appreciates.
