Convenience home delivery platform Snappy Shopper has introduced measures aimed at protecting the supply of convenience store products to local communities during the coronavirus outbreak.
Older customers (over-60s) can use the code OVER60 until further notice on all their orders over £10 for free delivery. All partner retailers have fully supported the move to help this more vulnerable group at this time of unprecedented crisis.
A further measure announced was the distribution of hygiene packs to support frontline Snappy Shopper delivery drivers and customers.
Snappy Shopper boss Mark Steven (pictured) explained: “At Snappy Shopper we recognise the essential part convenience stores play in their local communities, particularly in times of crisis.
“Home delivery for at-risk groups and those self-isolating with symptoms is a crucial service, particularly where they are unable to rely upon friends or relatives to help.”
Steven said Snappy Shopper has seen a 115% uplift in platform sales and a 62% uplift in customer transactions since the Prime Minister’s initial measures were announced.
Initially launched in Dundee, Snappy Shopper is now available across convenience stores in the UK mainland.
