It's Getting Festive
Posted by Temando on Tuesday, October 29, 2013 with No comments
More shoppers are buying online than ever before, this means an influx of parcels being sent across the country during the Festive Season. To stay on top of your trading we have put together a list of top tips, Temando facts and courier deadlines to help you.
1. Patience and Planning - The Festive Season is a busy time for everyone! In the lead up get pen to paper and plan out your strategy and deadlines.
2. Communicate – With the planning part done it is important to communicate these deadlines with your customer. Does your website say free overnight delivery? A last minute rush on the 23rd may see customers jumping on this for the freight to be caught up in rush of parcels – resulting in delayed delivery. To avoid upset and disgruntled customers ensure you clearly communicate your deadlines for purchases.
3. Satchels ready to go – Do you send most of your stock in satchels? Stock up before the Festive Season to get you through December. Order satchels by contacting Temando Support or clicking here.
4. Be aware of carrier cut off’s – we have put together a general outline for last days to send out freight and have it delivered in time for Christmas. Please note this is a general outline and no timings are guaranteed.
To find out the freight deadlines click on the city below that you are sending from:
Sydney
Melbourne
Brisbane
Adelaide
Perth
5. Encourage Early Transactions - If it's your first time retailing over the Festive period get ready! It's a rush. Some of our old hand retailers have implemented campaigns in the lead up to encourage shoppers to purchase before certain dates to ensure their parcels arrive on time and to avoid disappointment.
6. Temando Trading Hours
