With the holiday season coming up fast, business owners need to start doing careful planning to avoid getting slowed down by the holiday shipping rush. Think about it: our shopping habits have changed quite a bit in the past few years. Just as those brick-and-mortar Black Friday sales become crowded and even chaotic at times, there’s a fast-growing segment of holiday shoppers who prefer relaxing on their couch and putting the calm back into holiday shopping by using their laptops instead.
In fact, in 2017 the National Retail Federation reported that online retail would be the most popular place to shop during the holidays. There are no signs of that trend being reversed this year, so if you make items available online through your website, the likelihood is you’re going to be very busy over the next two months.
In 2016, retail e-commerce sales during November and December hit a massive $63 billion, and e-commerce is broadening its appeal to shoppers tired of fighting for a parking space at the mall or confronting long lines at the cash registers.
The bottom line is if you want your business to perform well this holiday season, be certain you have your shipping plans in place now, not at the last minute.
And you want to keep your customers happy by offering them clear delivery times. They’re absolutely counting on these shipment becoming gifts under the Christmas tree.
You also want to be certain you package your items carefully.
That’s a lot of responsibility to handle.
So if you want to know how to succeed at holiday shipping this year, and if your company is reaching out to a global audience and planning to do more international shipping, you need the right domestic and international freight shipping company at your side.
Amerijet International Airlines has a highly experienced team that’s managed decades of busy holiday shipping seasons – including recent years as the world of e-commerce has grown and a sharp increase in the number of products being shipped to customers.
The bottom line is that the company you select to handle your shipping needs this holiday season is going to play an important role in your success.
It’s doubtful that any business owner, or even your average consumer, can imagine a 100 percent stress-free holiday shopping experience – ‘tis the season, after all.
Still, for small, medium and large businesses alike, the holiday season is often their most important time for sales – and expert shipping is a critical element of a successful business.
Fast, efficient and reliable shipping is what keeps customers happy – and keeps them coming back to your store. A lot of that customer satisfaction will depend on the quality of your product – but another key factor will be how smoothly the shipping process is handled.
