We love subscription boxes, we really do, and after speaking to a number of clients we have put together a little blog about why you should consider outsourcing some of the tasks.
We think it’s clear that we all want to grow our businesses, and with that in mind, we wanted to put a few questions out there, and also, hopefully, provide some answers.
For context, we are coming at this from a different angle – as we run a fulfilment centre on the South Coast of the UK, and as we grow, we are always looking to see what we can do better.
Some questions that we think you will probably have –
What should drive me to consider using a fulfilment centre for my Subscription Box?
How would I go about finding one that’s right for me?
What has stopped me from using a fulfilment centre? Cost, control, minimum subs required is too high?
At what point do I outsource to a fulfilment centre – 100 subs per month, 500, 1000?
Potential benefits for outsourcing with us –
We remove the need to for you to incur the costs of a rented unit/warehouse.
No minimum monthly subscription box numbers.
No additional staff costs.
No issues if you are sick/away, as the responsibility is on us to deliver your customer commitment.
Don’t underestimate the amount of rubbish/cardboard/recycling that a successful business can generate – just getting rid of this can be a problem. With us, it’s our problem.
Much more time in your day will be spent generating new business and increasing your numbers.
Someone who understands the issues and can help solve them, and can also be used as a sounding board for all things good and bad – it can be lonely out there.
As we say, we are UK based, but we’d love to hear from you wherever you are in the world, as we feel the issues/reasons are likely to be similar, and we can always learn
