Tanger Outlets is introducing a remote shopping service to connect shoppers to personalized experiences that let them browse from the comfort of their own homes. With the aid of a virtual shopper, a consumer can find exactly what they're looking for, whether they're after something specific or need more help with the discovery process.
The personalized virtual shopping experience begins with filling out a shopping form so that a virtual shopper can help to narrow down a shopper's favorite brands and styles. At the end of the virtual shopping experience, Tanger Outlets makes it possible for shoppers to choose to arrange a curbside pickup or have their items delivered straight to their door.
Although many retail stores are opening up again, visiting a store still isn't an option that everyone can afford. With this solution, consumers have the advantage of feeling as if they're in-store, and being assisted, without having to travel.
