Delivery Club orders set new high in May 2017
June 12th Mail.Ru Group Limited (MAIL.IL, hereinafter referred as "the company"), one of the largest internet companies in Russia today announces that orders in Delivery Club hit a new high in May 2017.
In May 2017, the number of orders delivered by Delivery Club and ZakaZaka increased 2.5 times Y-o-Y to 957 thousand monthly orders.
This growth is mainly driven by the continued growth in both customer numbers, and orders per customer as the culture and regularity of food delivery continues to grow. An increasing number of people now perceive Delivery Club as an everyday option, using it not only on a special occasion, but also to order a regular lunch or dinner. Thus, the daily and weekly structure of orders has changed with the share of lunchtime and weekday orders increasing by 10%. Additionally retention has nearly doubled, with around half of the users making the second order within 30 days of the first one
The factors contributing to the increase in the number of orders also include the growing number of partner restaurants (there are now over 5,200 connected restaurants in 92 cities), launch of the referral program offering substantial discounts to participants, improved search in mobile apps and the expansion of the Delivery Express service zone.
Commenting on the continued growth of the business Andrey Lukashevich, Delivery Club CEO said:
"Delivery Club is growing with the market, and faster than the market does. User activity hit new highs in May: We hit a new record with the number of orders growing by 150% Y-o-Y. We are constantly improving Delivery Club, making it more and more user-friendly, and it shows in the number and frequency of orders."
