Cross-Channel Retailing-Borders.com in Borders stores Over the coming weeks, Borders.com will be rolled out to the retailer’s stores nationwide via its network of self-serve computer kiosks already in Borders stores. Until now, the kiosks have primarily been used to search for items in the store. Now, they can also be used to shop online and have purchases shipped to home or store. Customers can even use Borders.com on the kiosk to access and print their personal “wish lists” in the store. |
