Debenhams launches express shopping service

Department store, Debenhams, has today announced

the launch of an express shopping service over Christmas as the retailer gears up for the busy period.

‘Christmas Express’ is a free service aimed at reducing the stress of festive shopping by appointing a personal shopper to customers who fill out a questionnaire.

Launched in response to high demands for gift ideas from busy customers, the service allows personal shoppers to hit the shop floor on behalf of customers and minimise time spent in-store.

Soleta Oliver, Commercial Manager for Store Services at Debenhams, commented: “We are expecting a high uptake on the appointments from businessmen and busy career women who are low on time – and energy – in the run up to Christmas.”
