Can you believe that shipping season is here again? Where did the year go? I feel like I say this every year – that time has flown faster and the year has become shorter. At this rate it will be shipping season every day! (Wouldn’t that be great for business…)
DYMO Endicia’s preparation for the shipping season begins the first week in January as we plan for the entire year. We also have to get an earlier start than most because we sell the supplies (printers, labels, scales) that businesses use for their shipping seasons. Near the end of the summer, we stock up on the items we sell and the shipping material we will need during these months.
Now is the time that you’ll need to leverage all the efficiencies you have incorporated this year. If you haven’t done so already, this is the time to scramble and implement some new strategies. In either case, I wanted to share with you how we prepare for the shipping season at DYMO Endicia, and what we recommend our shipping customers consider doing to get ready for what many consider their make-or-break time of year.
Speaking of efficiencies, I had originally planned to share my own thoughts but then realized that it might be a better idea to ask our own phone sales and support groups about what they have been talking about with our customers. Here are some of the ideas that we collectively have had:
These are all great ideas – thank you to those who contributed. I urge you to consider some (or all!) of these as your business is gearing up for the shipping season. May you all have a very successful holiday season!
