What Does Product Fulfillment Involve?

A typical product fulfillment plan involves a mix of product packaging, inventory management, direct-to-consumer distribution, and returns processing.

Integral to many successful ecommerce fulfillment plans, our packaging design services are often the first step. We offer our partners turn-key design support for kitting services, creative sample packaging, and other custom solutions for boxes, bags, bottles, and every package type in between. Our all-inclusive design services come with an extensive variety of customizable material types and creative graphics support, making it easy to enhance the style and practicality of your packaging.

After finalizing the design, our well-equipped product fulfillment company can manage all phases of packaging and storage. Whether your company could benefit from enhanced product packaging, modernized inventory organization, or expedited inbound and outbound logistics, our pros at QPSI are ready to streamline your needs.

Even for companies that already have a polished final product and packaging, our ecommerce product fulfillment services are the perfect solution for safer storage and final-mile optimization. Instead of renting a storage facility or hiring additional staff members to manage logistics, our partners utilize our state-of-the-art facility to:

  • Receive vendors and process inbound goods
  • Safely house products in our 24/7 secured facility
  • Simplify product management with digitized inventory oversight
  • Reduce delivery times with expedited outbound processes

Our user-friendly ecommerce fulfillment services also improve the overall customer experience.

Direct Mail Sampling and DTC

In addition to e-commerce DTC, QPSI performs direct mail sampling for retailers who want to leverage this long-time, highly successful marketing technique. It is recognized as a powerful motivator for trying a brand-new product or getting consumers to switch brands. Consider three primary benefits of Direct Mail Sampling:

1.

Direct Mail Sampling increases exposure to products while reducing purchasing pressure. By delivering the product directly to consumers’ homes, customers can get a direct product experience for FREE!

2.

According to the direct mail experts at SC360, “Direct Mail sampling is one of the most enticing ways to garner brand awareness and boost conversions.”

3.

Direct mail sampling offers easy-tracking capabilities making it simple for retail marketers to know when the sample arrived. Again, SC360 notes that “Retailers can consider leveraging this data to generate an omni-channel campaign that includes triggered digital marketing touches such as a well-timed feedback request with direct links to the retailer’s website and social channels.” 

4.

Sampling can boost brand loyalty. You can put the secrets of confirmation bias to work by mailing samples to existing consumers. You may be able to convert loyal customers into brand advocates.
