Health & Beauty Industry: 5 Things To Look For When Outsourcing To Shipping Fulfillment Companies

…

Shipping Fulfillment Companies

Considering outsourcing your fulfillment operations? Smart plan. But you have to know what to look for in order to choose the right shipping fulfillment services. Pick a company that will serve as a true working partner, and your health and beauty company will enjoy stronger branding, increased sales, and increased customer lifetime value.

There’s a lot of opportunity there, so concentrate on theses 5 attributes:

Compliance capability

You can immediately eliminate the vast majority of shipping fulfillment companies because they won’t have the kind of warehouse facilities your products require. They can’t protect your products to industry and government standards. USA Fulfillment, on the other hand, is FDA Food Grade registered. In fact, we actually specialize in health and beauty products and dietary supplements.

Custom-tailored inventory and order tracking

While most retailers and manufacturers are concerned only with seasonality of merchandise (if even that), you have to track products by lot number, expiration date, etc. Other companies can put outdated merchandise on sale. You’ll have to jettison products if they’re allowed to over-age. At USA, every client gets fully customized tracking as well as real-time fulfillment visibility and reporting.

Pick and pack and then some

Everyday fulfillment is one thing, but how often do you require special kitting or assembly or gift wrapping to support promotions, etc.? Make sure your potential fulfillment partner is both able and willing to do that.

Stats that shine

If you choose an average fulfillment company you’ll get average results. Not the worse, but you want the best. If you choose USA Fulfillment you’ll get an outsourcing partner that reaches for the stars – and hauls them in – with answer and delivery speeds and order accuracy that are galaxies beyond average.

Each delivery a thing of beauty

Personal care products are highly personal. Don’t you think the deliveries your customers receive should feel personal, too? We certainly think so. You’ve heard the old saying, perception is everything. That’s true – and your company lives (or will die) by how customers perceive your brand.

Here at USA we think presentation is everything, too. Personal products that arrive in a package that looks shifty in some way – grubby, generic, thrown-together – do not say “we care.” A package that is less-than-lovely can call into question the very quality of your products as well. Are they expired, or dangerously close to it? Have they been stored in inhospitable conditions that might reduce their efficacy to cause their ingredients to deteriorate?

Once customers start questioning the very basic value of your products, your brand may never recover.
