Like many of you, we are doing what we can to help our customers navigate this challenging time.

In the first few weeks of this crisis, local bike shops using SmartEtailing have been experiencing unprecedented online sales growth. Online sales are trending higher than the holiday shopping season, fueled in large part by an increasing number of bicycles being purchased online.

Needless to say, having an ecommerce website has transformed from a nice-to-have into a must-have seemingly overnight.

Here are some of the ways that bike shops are using SmartEtailing website capabilities to keep revenue flowing during this time of social distancing.

Local Home Delivery now available

We rapidly developed a new order fulfillment option that allows you to configure local delivery zones and prices for delivery to then use your store vehicle to deliver bikes and accessories to your local customers’ doorstep.

Now, a consumer can complete an entire bike purchase online and during checkout select and pay for local home delivery.
