The number of times I have thought about a product’s packaging more than the actual product is just, too many. 🤦🏻♀️Some products have a fragile packaging. Some are too inconvenient and some are just invisible. Does no one think about rebranding their product packaging if it makes them hard to find? When I am browsing their website on my phone, I know where everything is. There is no effort. Nothing could make me leave it and book a flight to the retail store. 👉But, retail is different. Every product has to be visible and belong in its place. 💡Good packaging and categorizing go a long way in retail as well as eCommerce. If you are not obsessing over packaging, you are doing it wrong. #packaging #ecommerce #logistics #shipping

【The increase in penetration rate of non-standard cross-border e-commerce will generate more demand for air freight and consolidation warehouses】 As the penetration rate of cross-border e-commerce increases, the business model of cross-border e-commerce is also constantly evolving. TEMU and SHEIN, as representatives of non-standard cross-border e-commerce enterprises, have innovated their business models by bringing distributor inventory to the factory end in the form of C2M. The optimization of inventory costs has made the expansion of low-cost SKUs possible. However, the drawbacks of this business model are equally evident. After inventory is far away from consumers, it is difficult to ensure the timeliness of online shopping. Merchants can only choose the logistics form of trunk air freight+pre sorting to maximize the supply chain efficiency to 7-10 days to meet consumer demand. Therefore, the same increase in cross-border sales will generate more demand for air freight and consolidation warehouses.

“Despite the rise of e-commerce, many of the top retailers worldwide generate the bulk of their sales in physical stores. However, as customers prioritize convenience and a wider selection of goods, e-commerce giants are capturing an increasing share of the retail market.” #retail #ecommerce #convenience
