What this means

What to do with it.

Start with the Irish food and drink shops that advertise now; they are paying for customers and open to a new courier, a wider range or a cheaper channel. Split by platform next, with Shopify first and WooCommerce second. Thousands of shops make the narrowing worthwhile.

Distributors and brands

Target Irish food and beverage retailers that advertise now with a producer or importer range; lead with the Shopify shops, since the platform leads here.

Couriers and 3PLs

Prioritize Irish food shops that advertise now for chilled and same-day delivery offers; grocery sellers win or lose on delivery speed.

Ecommerce software and email tools

Reach the Shopify shops first, then WooCommerce; OpenCart is third here, ahead of Magento, so keep an OpenCart pitch ready.
