Like the Old Pros If you’ve been following the news lately, you know there’s been a bit of negative press, as the word on cities like Detroit has not been good. The media has noted how these former hubs of industrial fanfare have fallen by the wayside and are now seeking federal assistance to keep from going broke. Whatever your personal philosophies and political thoughts are on these issues, most can agree that it’s all a shame. (more…)

Not So Alone There’s no denying that product fulfillment is, to say the least, a fairly electric business to be in. Whether you’re doing product supply or packaging up products to be sent to clients, it’s fairly busy. You don’t have much time to get bored, and even less time to get lonely. But in a certain professional sense, there is a certain amount of loneliness in product fulfillment. With all of your busy day-to-day work, you tend to get separated from others, be they other pros or even your clients (in terms of what their needs are). (more…)

Where to Turn If you’re a shopper, you know the value of doing a little window shopping before you make a purchase. Searching around to find the best deals for the best products is often laborious, but worthwhile if you wind up saving a lot of cash. Value isn’t always easy to come by, so it’s best to take as much time as you can to find it, no matter how long it takes. Oddly enough, this concept is worthwhile when you want to get some services to make your product fulfillment business better, too. (more…)

Objects of Desire When it comes to inanimate objects, humans have always had a love-hate relationship with them. On one hand, they know that their “things” and “stuff” cannot hug, console, or advise them for all of life’s issues. On the other hand, though, there are those objects of desire that people do love in their life, whether it’s an old typewriter that they loved typing on at home or that espresso machine that produces that lovely, strong coffee they enjoy. Objects lack human characteristics, but they do provide people some pleasure. (more…)

More and More When you see people out and about, it’s pretty apparent that they want more. Whether it’s at the buffet restaurant or bargaining with a car salesman, people want to get the most they can with the resources they have. Are they greedy? Perhaps some are, but most just want to have options to get what they need at a reasonable price. The more choices they have, the better they’re able to find what they need at a price they can afford. (more…)

What They Want To put yourself in the client’s shoes for a second, remember back to when you were a kid and you could place an order. Maybe it was for a slice of pizza on Pizza Day at school or a toy out of a catalog. It felt so great to not only receive that item but also make the order yourself. In fact, there’re probably only a few feelings like it. Whether you know it or not, as a product fulfillment pro, you are providing that feeling to your clients on a regular basis. (more…)

Good Goods The real romantics always say that “life is about more than just stuff and things.” They put human interaction, happiness, and love for one another ahead of any sort of material good. They say that there’s no comparison between inanimate objects and people’s emotions. And they’re right. There’s nothing like humans relating to one another and connecting on a personal level. It’s unbeatable. (more…)

Heads Above So, you’re a product fulfillment professional, are you? That’s great. You should be proud. But, are you doing all that you can for your clients? Hopefully the above comment didn’t put you off—it was just meant for fun. However, it’s still not something to take lightly if you are serious about product fulfillment. If you are a product fulfillment pro, you should be able to answer that last question. (more…)

If you work, you know that you’ve got big jobs over smaller jobs to get done. And if you’re in business for yourself, you really have to prioritize all the jobs, big and small, on your own. However, if you’re operating your own product fulfillment business—pretty much every job is a big job. There’s no real way around it: in product fulfillment, you have a lot on your plate and it all has to be dealt with accordingly. Whether you’re doing product shipping or even printing off a brochure or two, there’s a lot of work involved. (more…)

When you ask a lot of today’s professionals about “mail,” the word doesn’t conjure up many positive thoughts. And that’s understandable. Some of these pros have seen their mail never reach their destinations, and with so much digital technology today, mail is seen by some as a last-resort, antiquated communication process. But what many pros forget is that the mail, like a lot of things, has hugely adapted. With the changing times have come changing service trends that exist to help make today’s pros get the right deals they deserve. The mail is no different—mail services have seen these changes,...
