Going the Distance in Product Fulfillment Distribution

Hard to Find You may have often heard “back in the day” speeches from your elders. While these tales may be a bit far-fetched and/or exaggerated, they may inadvertently mention products or services that were not readily available at the time: music fans ordering albums only available overseas, guitarists in the UK paying sailors money to bring back an electric guitar from the U.S., and even famous novels and films being smuggled into countries where they were banned or not on the market due to legal issues.

How to Cater to the Right Niche Market in Product Fulfillment

Chosen Few When we were kids, we dreamed of fame. We wanted to be professional athletes, rock stars, or maybe an A-list Hollywood star. These all seemed really cool and, at the time, very feasible. But alas, we grew up and realized how limited our talents are. While we manage to realize a lot of our dreams, we might not fulfill all of them. We’re only human; limitations are something even Superman was forced to realize eventually. (more…)

What’s New Typewriters? No way. Beepers? They’re history. A telex machine? Forget it! We are living in the long-predicted future, with all sorts of modern gizmos and amenities that we once never thought possible. It’s crazy, but it’s also exciting. In truth, the previous examples of outdated technology are the victims of this new age and a reminder of just how quickly technology can change.

How Understanding Legal Matters Leads to Good Product Fulfillment Services

Over the Line So, what are your real feelings about the law? Most people have a knee-jerk reaction to this. They think about the fact they can no longer enjoy a cigar in public or grumble about the recent tax hike. In fairness, sometimes new laws can be a valid source of debate about if they actually accomplish what they are imposed for. But a few minutes of consideration can reveal how useful laws can be.

Full Conversion: Adapting to the Electronic Route for Product Fulfillment

Brave New World Today, it seems like the sci-fi writers of decades gone-by were actually on to something. While aliens haven’t colonized us all, laser guns have yet to hit the commercial market, and the milkman service to the moon is still in development limbo, some technological dreams have finally come true. Really fancy touch screen technology is available, there’s automatic GPS for traveling, and video screens are darn near everywhere. It’s incredible. (more…)

The Great Post Debate: Thinking Practically About Courier and Mail in Product Fulfillment

One Versus the Other  There was Coke vs. Pepsi, then Burger King vs. McDonald’s, Star Trek vs. Star Wars, Harry Potter vs. Lord of the Rings, and, for some, Lady Gaga vs. Madonna. When you’ve got two parties doing two similar things, it’s simply a matter of deciding which one is better. Now before some of you dismiss these arguments as a matter of personal taste or as being trivial, there is some merit to these debates. (more…)

Tightening Those Loose Screws: How to Properly Fine-Tune Your Product Fulfillment Business

Off the Righteous Path  Things won’t always turn out perfectly; that’s just the way things go. And sometimes we see it coming, sometimes we don’t. The social ideology of the righteous path to success in any business seems to dictate that if we regularly work hard, we should always be successful. The good songwriters will always score good songs, as long as their hearts are in it. (more…)

All Down the Line: Knowing More About Your Product Options for Product Fulfillment

More Than One There’s nothing better than having options. It’s hard to believe that even within the last half century, there were places where you could only purchase one kind of food or drink due to government restrictions, or that you had to commit yourself to particular social norms because tradition forced you to. It’s nice to be able to make decisions based on the options that are available to us all and proceed accordingly, knowing we had the opportunity to think things through clearly. (more…)

Checking the Rep: How to Keep a Close Eye on Help in Product Fulfillment

The Third Man People like people. No matter how much one might hold a sense of distrust towards mankind or a misanthropic attitude regarding civilization, even the hardest cynics need partners and friends. People are social animals; they need to have some support from other individuals. When someone decides to enter the business world as an entrepreneur, there is a tendency to get defensive in the process. This is understandable, as most rookie business types do not want to make mistakes thanks to bad partnerships. (more…)
