Male online shoppers offer a significant opportunity for retailers with delivery saver schemes. Our survey data highlights than men appear keener to invest in these money-saving tools when making online purchases. Of online food purchases, 39.7% of men bought into a delivery saver scheme, while 30% invested in schemes for non-food purchases. This contrasts with female online shoppers, which had a penetration of 30.8% for food and 26% for non-food.

Penetration is higher among male online shoppers for almost all age groups. In non-food delivery this is being driven by fashion retailers such as ASOS and JD Sports. On average 52.2% of delivery saver scheme users say they spend more money at that retailer because of their subscription commitment.

Further appeal is also generated by additional benefits. One example of this is JD Sports offering exclusive access to instore events such as meeting heavyweight boxing star Anthony Joshua. Events like these encourage extra traffic to its website and increased footfall to stores.
