Beyond Grocery Lists

While “grocery list” might come to mind, BigCommerce shopping lists go beyond this use-case. Picture the avid home decorator meticulously building a list for their dream renovation project, the fashionista curating a seasonal wardrobe update, meat shops customers saving monthly lists with respect to their needs  or the tech enthusiast saving gadgets for their next upgrade. Your store becomes a personalized shopping haven, where customers can easily plan, compare, and ultimately buy, all thanks to the power of lists.

Other Repetitive B2B Customers

– Office Supplies: Businesses can create lists for their regular office supplies like printer paper, toner cartridges, coffee beans, etc., making reordering a breeze.

– Manufacturing & Construction: Companies can save lists for frequently used materials, tools, and equipment, ensuring a single click order for production runs or project needs.

– Hospitality: Hotels, restaurants, and cafes can utilize lists for regular food and beverage supplies, streamlining inventory management and avoiding stockouts.

– Medical & Dental Supplies: Clinics and practices can create perpetual lists for essential medical equipment, medications, and hygiene products, simplifying frequent orders.

Beyond Saving Time

– Streamlining Ordering Process: List-based ordering reduces errors, miscommunication, and order processing time, leading to improved customer satisfaction and efficiency.

– Inventory Management: By analyzing saved lists, B2B retailers can gain valuable insights into customer buying patterns and optimize inventory forecasting.

– Cross-selling & Upselling: Suggesting related or complementary products based on list contents can encourage upselling and boost average order value.

– Building Customer Loyalty: Offering convenient and time-saving list features fosters customer loyalty and encourages repeat business.
