So, I was out at one of the big retailers this weekend and had to do a double-take when I saw aisle after aisle of Christmas decorations packed out in all their shiny glory. Whether you like it or not, the holiday season is coming up FAST. If you’ve got staff heading off on leave, are you sure everyone left behind knows how to do their job? Are all their processes documented? 📝 If not, you’re in for a chaotic time. So it's best you get in there now to check that those standard operating procedures (SOPs) document everything they need to. #virtualassistant #VA #AussieVA

🎉 Happy National Department Store Day🎉 Today, we recognize and celebrate the vital role that department stores and retailers play in the fabric of our communities. Whether it’s the local family-owned shop or the large national brands we’ve all come to rely on, retail stores are at the heart of providing access to essential products and unique shopping experiences. But what many people don’t see is the intricate system behind the scenes; the logistics network that ensures every item on those shelves arrives on time and in perfect condition.

Happy Halloween from KP Global Logistics Consulting! Logistics pros know that freight doesn’t stop for any holiday. Halloween is no exception.

An Insightful article how last mile delivery is changing the logistics landscape... While there are deliveries from local stores to consumers, it has moved one step further of delivering within restaurant from counters to table (DropTheQ) This emphasizes the need to innovate and think of ways which are not standard steps in a typically supply chain #Logistics #Innovation #LastMileDelivery #CustomerSatisfaction

The weekend is around the corner so, if you’re an ecomm that sells stuff that people use over the weekend (think sports and lifestyle, or even fashion), listen in! Here is a proven strategy to reduce your Retention Cycle and grow CLV! Same day fulfilment and express shipments! Promote Express, make it cheaper, subsidise it, brand it, whatever you have to do. Why? Let’s say someone orders something on a Thursday and you send it express so it arrives before the weekend. Your customer is frothing, obviously, but they are now able to use your amazing product 1 whole weekend before they would have if it was shipped with regular. This means they are likely to buy again at least 1 week before they otherwise would have. The difference between regular and express from Brisbane to Perth can be 2 weeks. At a stretch this can turn into 3 weekends. Think in terms of “we must get shit to customers before the weekend”… Get the goods out the door fast, ship it fast, and your Retention Cycle and CLV will reward you. Please share this hack around. #Ecommerce #CustomerRetention #CLV #SameDayShipping #ExpressDelivery #WeekendSales #EcommerceStrategy #CustomerExperience #FastShipping #BoostSales #BusinessGrowth #EcommerceHacks #ShippingSolutions #EcommerceSuccess
