A brand is a set of promises you make and keep. Let’s look at a worldclass example of this: FedEx makes a clear promise to its customers and…wait for it…delivers! Their brand promise is “The world on time” and I have never had a late or lost package with FedEx! That blows my mind!! If FedEx promised to get my package somewhere on time, and they didn’t, I might think twice about using them again because they broke their promise! Brand promises do more than build trust. They: Shout out your values loud and clear. It's like your brand's way of saying, "This is what we stand for!" Show off what makes you different. Use your promise to set yourself apart from the competition! Build emotional connections. Strong promises resonate with customers on an emotional level, creating deeper connections and loyalty!

I wish I could say we had a perfect track record, but we’ve definitely made our share of mistakes as we’ve grown. What brands do you love that really keep their promise?

Pallets are the backbone of global commerce, silently and efficiently moving the world’s goods from one place to another. From warehouses to trucks, and ships to stores, pallets ensure that products reach their destinations safely and on time. They are the unsung heroes of logistics, playing a crucial role in keeping the global supply chain running smoothly. Every product we use has likely journeyed on a pallet, making them essential in our everyday lives. 🌍🚛 Let us add value to your business.

From #1 in 2019 to #41 in 2024, the plunge tells a story that should be an eye opener for other organisations. Brand value, loyalty and trust takes years to build, but can be quickly eroded when profits are prioritised over customers and employees. https://lnkd.in/g2tJ3NJW

Does sourcing impact your brand? Absolutely. It plays a crucial role in shaping the quality that the brand pledges to deliver to its consumers. A key aspect of Brand Strategy involves evaluating manufacturing alterations that can influence the brand's commitment to quality or pricing of products offered to customers. #Sourcing #BrandStrategy #QualityControl #Brandlove

I'm intrigued by the debate about which strategy will emerge 'victorious', that of A.P. Moller - Maersk with its stated intention of focusing on end-to-end logistics delivery, or that of CMA CGM with its marked separation of carrier and logistics brands. There remains a role for pure freight forwarders because ocean and air carriers have hitherto failed to develop the required level of sophistication to deal with the vagaries of demand and supply, or provide a more comprehensive suite of solutions related to their core activity. The truth is if we were inventing global transportation of goods today, given the knowledge and technology we now have, most freight intermediaries would not exist in their current form, and that includes some of the better known global logistics names. Going back to the notional Maersk v CMA CGM competition, compared to the approach of most other carriers which is "I sail the ship and you go and sort the rest out", leaving the shipper to deal with a myriad of loose ends and variously uninterested parties such as hauliers, ports, governments, brokers, agents, forwarders, consolidators, ICDs, etc, frankly both approaches are far better. We'd have to be naive in the extreme to assume that CMA intends to remain completely neutral forever and that there will always be completely opaque walls between carrier and logistics, or that Maersk's end to end message / branding doesn't end up being flexed somewhat. The point is these two operators are doing something which has traditionally been a taboo subject in the industry; investing in transportation assets and operations, and investing in the services either side of the ocean, and indeed air, transportation activity. With global logistics forecast to grow to USD18t by 2032, the question we should be asking is who is taking care of the other 99% of activity not currently handled by Maersk or CMA businesses, and how do they intend to make air and ocean processes and pricing more transparent, shipper-friendly, and predictable. 🏁

Is branding crucial in freight forwarding? In the competitive market landscape, effective brand management is key to success for freight forwarding companies. While strategies focused solely on increasing profits may not align with long-term goals, a strong brand identity can set a company apart. Despite the limited research on branding in this industry, drawing from extensive experience highlights the importance of shared values in freight forwarding. An interdisciplinary team with expertise in operations, customer relationships, and pricing is vital for seamless business functions. The goal is to position a freight forwarding company as a unique player, offering more than just standard services. #Branding #FreightForwarding #BusinessStrategy
