Peak Season Insights: Lessons from the IMRG Roundtable 🌟 Yesterday, we joined the IMRG roundtable alongside Shopify to dive into 'All Things Peak' season. With contributions from industry leaders, including our very own Paul Taylor COO at fulfilmentcrowd, here’s what we learned: Peak shopping trends 🛍️ ⚫️ Black Friday is shifting... this year, Black Friday activity started a week earlier, impacting like-for-like comparisons. ⚫️ Payday spikes are predicated, fulfilmentcrowd observed a 5-10% uplift during payday weeks throughout 2024, with some brands seeing as high as 18-20% for some paydays. Operational must-dos for eCommerce success 🚛 ⚫️ Plan for surges! Paul emphasised the importance of contingency planning, clear communication, and collaboration with carriers to avoid bottlenecks. ⚫️ Peak season doesn’t end on Cyber Week - brands should keep promotions and marketing going into the new year to maximise returns. 💡 Paul’s Key Takeaway: “It’s never over until it’s over!” Keep momentum alive post peak to maximise opportunities well into January 2025!

Last year, fraudsters swiped a staggering £11.5m during the festive frenzy, with fake tech and clothing listings running rampant on social media. And with 16,000 online shopping fraud cases reported between November and January, it’s enough to give anyone the Cyber-Monday blues 🥺 The good news?

🏆 Third place never looked so good! Last night, we joined 18 fantastic local businesses for Rosemere Cancer Foundation Corporate evening at The Flower Bowl Entertainment Centre. It was a great evening of friendly competition, all in support of the amazing work that Rosemere Cancer Foundation does. The team kicked off with bowling (a slow start, they admit 😅) but redeemed themselves with some impressive skills on the mini golf course - yes, there might have been multiple #HoleInOnes involved! ⛳ It’s always inspiring to see local businesses come together to make a difference. A big well done to all the teams involved. Check out the fulfilmentcrowd squad with their prize🏆, and a huge thank you again to Rosemere for inviting us to such an enjoyable and meaningful evening. #TeamFulfilmentcrowd #CharityEvent #RosemereFoundation
