According to new insights from Locally, a real-time network of over 55,000 retailers worldwide, this past holiday season saw a 7.5% year-over-year growth in Buy Online, Pick-Up In-Store (BOPIS), and Reserve Online, Pick-Up In-Store (ROPIS) transactions. Nearly 50% of online shoppers abandoned their carts when local pickup wasn’t an option, which underscores the importance of omni-channel solutions. This year, Locally says over 90% of leading retailers are expected to adopt omnichannel strategies.

Locally is thrilled to announce its partnership with the European Outdoor Group (EOG), a trade association dedicated to supporting the outdoor industry in Europe. This collaboration marks a significant step in Locally’s mission to connect shoppers with nearby retailers and drive more foot traffic to local stores. By joining EOG, Locally aims to better support European brands and retailers through tailored tools and strategies that encourage shoppers to choose click-and-collect solutions.

Our platform has unlocked a powerful synergy between brands and resellers, transforming how consumers shop.
