Preparing a new store for shipping

The economy is starting to really move and shift in different ways.  Lots of companies are pivoting and moving in different directions than they had ever imagined or moving before their time. This has caused many brick and mortar stores to move into the online world.  The  Pandemic caused many citizens not only in the United States, but also the whole world to go into a home arrest or lockdown.  This was to lower the effects that the coronavirus might have on the population.  This also caused many companies to not be able to be open for business as a brick and mortar store.  That meant they would become e-commerce stores in some instances or simply close down.  That has launched the process for many companies to get into the online world sooner. 

So what this has really meant is that they have had to change up their entire store process to get into the online world.  The first thing is that the companies are going to have to actually purchase shipping supplies in order to be able to get those products to people online.  This means that they had to not only order the shipping supplies in higher quantities to ship, but in some cases change the entire store to be revamped in order to package, process, and ship these items out.

 

It is important to set up stations to be able to get your products out.  This is done by sometimes using tables that are high enough to not cause back issues with your employees.  You want them to be able to work without leaning over too much and able to be comfortable while working.  Sometimes having rugs or floor pads for feet to help soften the impacts of walking and standing as well.  So happy employees is also a great way to keep up the work and are faster and more efficient.  Having a happy and ergonomic environment for people to package items is a small and yet very important part of e-commerce.  Since it is going to be repetitive you want to create a system that is incredibly efficient and also comfortable.  This will speed up workers and cut down on costs as well.

 

This can be done by trying lots of different ways to ship and package.  Try the different ways until a system is created that is repeatable and fast. Once this is done you are on your way to rocking a great e-commerce company!

Moving preparations that are needed

If you are going through the process of changing locations then congratulations.  There are so many reasons to move and many of them positive and some of them negative.  I have moved for reasons that were painful and also for joyful reasons.  Rather you lost a job or just got married things are changing and for that I will say congratulations.  

Change can always be for good even when its for a bad reason. I want to say take this time to plan out your next move and prepare for a way to rebrand you and your intentions.  The ability to move locations means you have a fresh start at being you and meeting new people. This is always an exciting time and even if you are out of the social skills game and especially now after the pandemic lockdowns its ok.  Most people are in the same boat so don't worry about awkward meetings and greetings.  Things will later get to normal and be much easier. So if you are about to move there are always a few things to have on hand to make that transition a little easier.

The first thing is to make sure you have all the correct shipping supplies on hand.  What does that really mean?  Well when I say shipping supplies I mean that you need to have some cardboard boxes and tape on hand so that you can pack up all your things safely. It is important to have lots of these items on hand and sometimes more than you will think you will need.  Sometimes moving is difficult and lots of things go wrong.  That means that boxes may break or fall apart and some may need more tape. Or you may even need to tape up different things that you wouldn't think of. 

Moving large items can be tricky.  They are really hard when they have drawers and some that are not able to be removed.  Some good ways to use your supplies to mitigate damage when moving is the ability to tape drawers closed.  This means they wont pop open when you are moving and when that happens balance shifts on the items and people are known to drop them. So there are so many ways to utilize your different supplies and make your moving a bit better.  So enjoy the move, and take the time to start new and fresh!
