Day 3/5 of posting Black Friday Campaign ideas so you don't mess up last minute. Category: Home & Kitchen Campaign: Curate Your Kitchen ➡️ Idea ▪️ Allow customers to create personalized kitchen bundles by selecting items from a curated list of discounted essentials (e.g., coffee maker, blender, cookware set). ▪️ Offer increasing discounts as they add more items to their bundle. ➡️ Execution ▪️ On your website, create a “Build Your Kitchen Bundle” feature where customers can select products from a pre-set selection. ▪️ Include suggestions for themed bundles (e.g., “Morning Routine,” “Holiday Baking Kit”) and show potential savings. ➡️ Customer Appeal ▪️ This customization gives shoppers control, making it easy to choose what best suits their kitchen or lifestyle while feeling like they’re getting incredible value through bundled discounts. #homeandkitchenbrands #ecommerce #blackfriday

I am going to say it louder for the people at the back. Because what is obvious for me might be a game-changer for you: 📣We take pre-orders!!📣 Below is a beautiful screenshot of our weekly schedule. We take bookings as far as 18 months in the future, and lock them in so that no amount of orders off the back of LinkedIn posts can jeopardise you getting your biscuits on time! This does NOT mean that we bake your biscuits and leave them on the shelves for months. Our biscuits do have a shelf-life of 10 weeks, but we are not set up to store boxes and boxes of biscuits. Plus we are foodies, and we know that a fresh biscuit tastes better than a month-old biscuit. When you pre-order, you secure your booking. We schedule it. Depending on the circumstances, you pay later, a deposit, or in full. When the dispatch day approaches, we bake your biscuits. We offer a timely dispatch guarantee, so unless Royal Mail is not playing ball you get your biscuits exactly when you want them. (We also tend to allow at least one extra day contingency because that is the bit we can control). So, it is NOT to early to order Christmas biscuits, wedding favours for 2025, or lock in a booking for a big even you are running next year! Get in touch with me and my team by emailing enquiries@thebiskery.com to discuss your future biscuit needs today. #preorder #eventplanning #christmas2024

🎃🍬 Why Your Halloween Candy Might Not Arrive On Time: The Supply Chain Spooks to Watch Out For 🚛🍭 Halloween is fast approaching, and while supply chains are rushing to get all that candy delivered, you might face some empty shelves. Here are some common reasons your Halloween treats could be delayed this season: Labor Shortages Across Logistics: From truck drivers to warehouse workers, ongoing labor shortages across the logistics sector are stretching supply chains thin. Fewer drivers on the road mean slower deliveries, and without enough warehouse workers, your candy may spend extra time sitting in a distribution center instead of heading to your local store. Surge in E-commerce: The explosion of online shopping continues to put additional pressure on distribution networks. With more people turning to online orders for Halloween costumes and candy, delivery networks are at full capacity. This surge can lead to delayed or missed shipments as companies prioritize urgent or high-value goods. Last-Mile Delivery Issues: Last-mile delivery is often the trickiest part of logistics. Traffic congestion, limited delivery windows, and high demand can create significant delays, especially in urban areas. With drivers trying to meet tight deadlines, last-mile bottlenecks could cause your candy to miss its intended delivery date. Inconsistent Inventory Management: Candy manufacturers and retailers rely on demand forecasting to ensure the right amount of product reaches stores in time for Halloween. But demand fluctuations or inaccurate predictions can lead to inventory imbalances, leaving some areas overstocked while others face shortages. What Can You Do to Plan Ahead? Some of the common practices used with large shipping manufacturers can be used for your favorite candy needs. 💰 Buy early to avoid the last-minute rush. (Ship sooner) 🏭 Look for alternative brands or local suppliers that may have quicker access to stock. (Consider multiple providers) Stay flexible with your candy options in case your go-to favorite isn’t available this year. (Flexible ship dates) While these supply chain challenges are no treat, planning ahead can help you avoid disappointment when Halloween rolls around. 🎃 What’s your strategy for keeping logistics smooth during peak seasons?

Do we still need refrigerators at home? Imagine grocery shopping where you only buy what you need, exactly when you need it—that's Just-In-Time (JIT) for your kitchen. Refrigerators are signs of our effort to cover our inefficient grocery purchases and extend the duration of items that we bought more than needed. The future of grocery shopping is going to the point where our consumption habits drive the purchases, and more efficiently it is done, less we will need refrigerators. And yes, bigger the refrigerator, higher potential for the inefficiencies. What is your perspective on future of groceries ? * All opinions expressed are my own. #refrigerators #JIT #future #groceries
