This ⬇️⬇️won’t work ⛔️⛔️⛔️ I spend a lot of time this time of year, researching e-commerce businesses customers journey, seeing what approaches they have taken and to see if they could be possibly do with the help of Lucro Solutions. This example could do with some. No further marketing will aid this.. No leading product placement will help.. Some may buy, but it is not where it needs to be. Remember, I am just a consumer & it is with a consumers hat on and a lil’ bit of industry knowledge that will see acceptance & conversion rise.🚀 And if I’m a German customer, I ain’t buying.. or if I’m, any similar international customer for that matter 🤦🏻♂️ (presently) Now, Tell me why? (Straightforward fixes really.. max gains🙌) #ecommerce #customerexperience #shipping #orders #peakperiod

“We’ve hired additional staff to cover our peak period in order to support orders & our customer promise 👍” The above 👆 is the drum being banged by those businesses that are worried about peak season to a degree, but really, it is something else. This sentence (or similar) has been popping up on feeds over the last few weeks in the build up for the busy season. But why? Reading these posts, it’s like broadcasting that there is a known problem(s) in the business & we are reactively fire fighting as & when said blazes emerge🔥! Yes, order volumes may rise but if your processes are in place, data on point, an automated system flow that matches and complements said required process, many of these anticipated issues are overcome. If not, the main source of wasteful spend on additional hires, is down to your in-house processes 👆not working as well as you 🫵 think! Having a WMS system that works for you.. Having easy integrations working… Data flowing seamlessly… Will SAVE you a TONNE of £££ in the long term. I personally know from experience the woes & growing pains of businesses when it comes to peak period & having systems that aren’t working as well as they should. It’ll feel like a great team spirit… all the staff pulling together to get over the line, and get all orders dispatched, all queries answered etc… but really it’s not what successful and well functioning businesses do, is it? Taking the time mapping out process & investing in systems that complement your business & help it grow, is invaluable. Sure it could cost you 2k or 3k+ a month, but this 1 fully functioning system could save you on spending 8-10k a month on new hires across your operations, that you think you need, by getting a system that: works for your business. minimises errors leads to happier customers & more valued staff. If it sounds like you, consider investing properly for 2024 in your operations. Just a couple of thoughts there☝️, but you knew all this right? Be interesting to hear your thoughts 💭🤔 #peakseason #ecommerce #3pl #operations #process
