Day 15: FedEx festive top tips for small businesses

#15 Label it Right

Christmas is coming and at FedEx we want to help your business be fully prepared this festive season. For today’s top tip, please see below:

Your customers are critical to your business’ success. Ensuring they are satisfied with the service and delivery they receive is important to retain customer loyalty and to attract new ones. Whether your customers are based in Scotland or Santorini you can help your logistics provider to guarantee your deliveries arrive on time and undamaged, to avoid disappointment on the big day.

When processing a higher quantity of orders than normal, it is worth double-checking everything, but especially the labels. When using a shipping label or airway bill, be sure to fill it out completely and accurately. If using a pouch, ensure the peel-off strip has been removed and the flap is firmly sealed. Place labels or pouches on the largest surface of the box, avoiding corners, edges, and seams. Winter weather can streak or remove shipping labels – just in case, always put an extra shipping label, business card, or letterhead with the shipper and recipient’s address information inside your box, before sealing things up.
