The phrase "shop til you drop" no longer applies or limits shoppers with the convenience of bag-free shopping thanks to the 'DropIt' app and service.
There will be DropIt points in or near shops where people can simply drop their bags and have them delivered the same day to their home or hotel. A connected mobile app then allows users to track the location of their purchases, their status and when they will be delivered.
This service will allow consumers to continue shopping, spending more money at nearby clothing stores -- benefiting the brands who are equipped with or located near a DropIt station. This service will target women who employ retail therapy as well as people who travel to a location like New York City, specifically to do some major shopping.
