Bottom Line Up Front: If you’re working with a smaller team this year, you need better solutions for your e-commerce strategy. Learn how InkSoft can streamline web development, speed up the sales cycle, and keep custom orders organized.
Online sales are booming
You’ve probably noticed that things are getting busier as the country reopens. Stores are resuming normal hours, and customers are out shopping in droves.
Online shopping hasn’t skipped a beat either. In 2020, more than two billion people purchased goods or services online. People got used to one-click shopping over the past year, and this trend hasn’t gone away.
Amazon jumped at that opportunity with Prime Day. And 2021 doesn’t look like it’ll be much different. A surveyed 58% of shoppers said they’ll be shopping during the event. So chances are you aren’t a direct competitor with Amazon, but that number says most of your customers do shop there.
It’s hard to find good help
Businesses are working with a lot less than they did before the pandemic. There are many job opportunities, but more than two-thirds of companies can’t find help in the skilled labor market.
Keeping track of details is difficult when you’re short-staffed
If you’re down a few team members, remembering which order needed 14 red baseball caps and which one has 50 red t-shirts are challenging and time-consuming. And that’s not even accounting for print method, supply inventory, and pricing.
Ordering goods is challenging too
Whatever inventory you do have access to, now is the time to make sure you’re keeping track of it accurately. As customer demand picks up, the global supply chain is still playing catch-up. Having a handle on your inventory will be more critical than ever as the summer ramps up.
Events season won’t slow down. Make sure you keep up.
Right now, your job queue is probably stacked for summer events and back-to-school is right around the corner. Keeping track of the details on every order is crucial since you need to know how to print it, what materials you’re using, and how long each job takes. The faster you can pull up details, the quicker you’ll get the job done.
Customers want to skip the showroom
Customers are spending, but they’re also looking for better experiences. People want the ability to click and pick their items out without having to go into a store. This makes it even more vital that you’re stepping up your e-commerce experience and offerings.
