    At 26 days, this year’s holiday shopping season is the shortest one on record since 2019! Learn what to expect ⬇️

    View profile for Laura Behrens Wu

    Founder & CEO at Shippo

    What’s in store for the 2024 holiday shopping season? Based on what I’ve been seeing, here are a few takeaways: ⬇️ 1. This year’s holiday shopping season is the shortest one on record since 2019. At 26 days (if you count from Black Friday to Christmas Eve), it’s 16% shorter than it was last year. Efficiency across every part of your organization will be paramount to success—from standing out in crowded inboxes and ads to inventory management and fulfillment. 📦 2. The pressure for same-day delivery is on. The shorter-than-normal season gives consumers less time to shop and fuels the need for faster delivery. If you haven’t already, take a look at your carrier mix to see where you might be able to optimize to meet these demands. Some carriers offer 7 day/wk service at no additional cost (not just delivery, but pickup and sort as well), resulting in significant transit time savings. 📱3. Mobile will make up the majority of holiday e-commerce sales at 54% (source: Practical Ecommerce). It’s a good time to ensure your mobile shopping experience is as frictionless as possible. Also, don’t forget the importance of order tracking. Offering real-time updates on the status of your customers’ purchases is even more important when customers are shopping on smaller screens and can foster a sense of trust and confidence, ultimately leading to greater customer satisfaction.

    Growing your business? Don’t shy away from your size—use it to connect with your customers. Being relatable and transparent can build trust and loyalty, especially in the early days. Our CEO, Laura Behrens Wu, did just that when growing Shippo, and it made all the difference.

    If you’re a startup selling to SMBs, use your size to your advantage. When Laura Behrens Wu first started selling Shippo, she was upfront about it being a small shop, just like many of their first customers. Leading conversations with, “We’re just like you!” helped build understanding — and made those customers willing to leave reviews for the early product. “We weren’t pretending that we were a big company full of customer support or product people,” she says. “That really made a difference in those conversations because then people were willing to give us their time.” Listen here for more of what Laura learned from the early days of building Shippo: https://lnkd.in/dRaAhADq

    At Shippo, we work hard to foster a culture of trust, innovation, and respect—values that guide not only how we ship but also how we operate as a team.

Her leadership ensures we’re protecting what matters most while building an environment that values employee freedom and flexibility. For e-commerce businesses navigating growth and complexity, creating a foundation of trust and thoughtful frameworks—whether for employees or operations—is essential for scaling successfully.
