US: DoorDash launches prepaid package service: How has the brand been doing?

Joshua Kennedy - January 19th, 2023

Online food delivery company, DoorDash, rolled out a package pickup service in early January of this year. The service allows customers to have their prepaid packages picked up by "Dashers” and dropped off at their local UPS, FedEx, or U.S. Postal Service locations.

How has DoorDash performed since it launched its package pickup service?

According to YouGov BrandIndex – which tracks consumer sentiment towards thousands of brands daily – DoorDash’s metrics have improved since the launch.

The brand’s Index score – which measures average Impressions, Value, Quality, Reputation, Satisfaction, and Recommendation scores for the brand – progressed from a net score of 4 on 1 January 2023 to a net score of 8 on 17 January. The Index score peaked at 10 on 7 January during this period.

As per YouGov data, the California-based company’s Satisfaction score – which measures if customers are satisfied or dissatisfied with the brand – also improved. The Satisfaction score rose from a net score of 3 on 1 January to a net score of 7 on 17 January. The score peaked at 13 on 8 January.

Relative to the other metrics, the 10-year-old delivery service’s Current Customer score – which measures the percentage of people who have visited the online brand in the past 30 days (via desktop/laptop, tablet, or mobile phone) – did not improve much. The score peaked at 14% on 6 January to 9% on 17 January, recovering from a low of 8% during the period.
