Do local pickup options convert last-minute gift buyers?

As an e-commerce merchant, I'm constantly looking for ways to reduce cart abandonment and provide convenient options for last-minute shoppers. Local pickup seems promising, but I want concrete evidence about its conversion potential, especially during peak gift-giving seasons like holidays. I'm curious about how this option impacts customer decision-making, reduces shipping hesitation, and potentially turns uncertain browsers into actual buyers. What strategies can I implement to make local pickup truly compelling?
