As a business, the end result of how your products arrive and are experienced should be something we continually seek to gather feedback on and improve. Great feedback is excellent, and should be weighed properly. Criticism, or negative experience, can always involve a lesson to learn, providing us with insight we can either choose to pursue and make good on, or ignore and pack it away as a relatively false or uninformed criticism.
That said, sometimes, it’s essential to make sure that we also stand up and allow our business values to shine in times of difficulty. For instance, if you’ve noticed that the condition of your deliveries is a problem, or perhaps this has been complained of, then retooling how you interact with your logistics is key. In this post, we’ll discuss a few measures you can use for curating this positive relationship once more, as well as how to resolve problems moving forward.
Thankfully, a proactive firm will be able to more accurately apply a solution here rather than allowing a problem to become worse and worse. In this post, we’ll discuss that and more:
Reinvesting In Packaging
It’s healthy to reinvest in packaging to the degree that we can. If we find that some of our packages re becoming damaged, or are in worse condition on arrival, then strengthening that approach can be key. Or, perhaps the high use of plastics in our packaging is being called out for its lack of sustainability, and so focusing on replenishing sustainability in this way could be absolutely key, and may even serve as a new means by which to market your goods.
Tailoring Our Shipping Logistics
It may be that tailoring and retooling your shipping logistics is key. Perhaps replacing the shipping container door seals you use can more readily secure goods during long haul travel, while making sure that the transportation capabilities of your bulk deliveries, like making sure they can adequately be picked up by forklifts, or carried ergonomically by a single worker hoping not to injure their backs, can also be important. Sometimes, even shaping the boxes your products are stored in can help them more easily stack, as opposed to becoming awkward to store and taking up too much space. Looking at these necessary outcomes can be essential as time moves on.
Accountability, Refunds, Reviews
Sometimes, we need to prepare for the most difficult outcomes. For instance, if our products arrive in terrible condition, it’s incumbent on us to apologize for that, to give refunds, and also to pre-invest in worthwhile liabilities insurance to make sure that the proper payouts can easily be given if harm is caused. Additionally, allowing for regular reviews of how a problem took place, as well as asking for the proper feedback, can be essential in curating a proper outcome. This way, you never have to fly blind or simply take a loss on the chin.
With this advice, you’ll be more able to take responsibility for the condition for all your deliveries.
