What’s More?
Big Lots is leaving no stone unturned to tap the best in the market. This is clear from its efforts to leverage marketing strategies, including e-commerce enhancement. This currently Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) player is experiencing strong e-commerce growth, buoyed by the success of the “Buy Online Pick-up In Store” (BOPIS) functionality and curbside pickup. Also, BIG’s same-day service at Instacart and Pickup seems profitable. BIG integrated web and store capabilities to drive enhanced returns, pricing, consistency and order visibility.
