Now that 2015 is here, it’s time to look back and see what lessons can be learned from 2014 and what can be done to make your 2015 fulfillment year the best yet.
The recent news about developed U.S.-Cuba relations, combined with the rise of e- and m-commerce, means that your order fulfillment can and needs to go global. There’s a lot of international demand and now you’ve got the tools to access it. Provided you abide lawfully, you can send products across borders that may not have been possible to send before.
YouTube is full of banner ads and short video ads that have met with great success. Be it digital printing or creating videos, there are new forms of media available that allow you to present your products and services in the most visually spectacular way possible.
There’s always a demand for news and information. Now this demand is met with content marketing, with the best and easiest format being a well-written blog that is optimized with keywords.
Some fulfillment companies continually try to sell to wholesalers and work in the larger areas of business-to-business (B2B) direct marketing. While there’s nothing wrong with this approach, it’s important to note that retail is still thriving. Working with retail doesn’t necessarily mean bricks-and-mortar locations, but rather online retailers. Some even run an online and physical store simultaneously, which gives your business and distribution network more options.
M-commerce took over Black Friday in 2014, surpassing even e-fulfillment. However, so many fulfillment and distribution services do not have a proper m-commerce setup; for example, their desktop e-ads look acceptable but don’t function on smartphones and tablets. If you haven’t adapted to m-commerce yet, consider it necessary and a priority, while if you’re already incorporating e-commerce, simply continue to test your ads and make the proper adjustments.
