Anyone who thinks of the holidays thinks of presents.
\nThe end-of-year period is traditionally the busiest time of the year<\/strong> for e-commerce.
\nEveryone then goes in search of the perfect gift for their loved ones.
\nThis year’s peak will be even extremely busy<\/strong> due to covid-19<\/strong>.
\nIn fact, we expect the increase in volume from during the lockdown to occur again as people will store online en masse. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

On peak days during the period of mandatory store closures, a package went <\/span>out the door at ShopWeDo every 9 seconds<\/strong> <\/span>.
\nThis sudden increase in the number of orders to be processed revealed some bottlenecks.
\nTo cope with the rush during the autumn, we have already taken some precautions<\/a>: additional employees, a new warehouse in Ostend, a doubling of space in Mechelen and a completely new inbound zone. ShopWeDo gives you practical tips<\/strong> for getting through the e-commerce rush without a hitch.
\nThus <\/span>together we ensure your satisfied customers and smooth logistics.
\nThe key to success?
\nStart thorough preparation on time. <\/p>\n

Prepare your webshop<\/b><\/h4>\n

Start with a look back<\/strong> at last year’s peak period.
\nThese figures will give you a clear picture of the best-selling products and the days on which the most orders took place.
\nYou should also check whether your shop can handle the extra rush.
\nThe last thing you want is a malfunction when customers are placing their orders.
\n Mobile-friendliness<\/strong> has also become indispensable today as we shop more and more via our smartphones. <\/span><\/p>\n

Finding the ideal gift is not an easy job for many.
\nInspire your customers during their search and make the selection process easier.
\nHelp them by creating a separate section with gift ideas.<\/strong> You can do this by putting together gift sets for women and men with different interests or preferences.
\nLet your website visitors filter by price<\/strong>, this way everyone will find a nice surprise regardless of budget.
\nAfter the holidays, there is usually an increase in returned packages. Reduce the chances of returns<\/strong> with complete product information, clear photos and product dimensions. <\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, encourage your customers to order early to<\/strong> avoid disappointment.
\nYou can do this by giving a discount or by placing a countdown timer on the web shop. <\/span><\/p>\n

Calendar\"\"<\/a> <\/b><\/h4>\n

When can you expect a lot of orders in a short period of time?
\nNovember is known as the start of a series of high days for Web shops.
\nHigh days for e-commerce are Singles Day<\/strong>, Black Friday<\/strong>, Cyber Monday<\/strong>, St. Nicholas<\/strong>, Christmas<\/strong> and New Year’s Eve<\/strong>.
\nCircle these important dates in your calendar.
\nThanks to our handy calendar you can take into account the expected peak moments around these holidays. <\/span><\/p>\n

Christmas falls on a Friday in 2020.
\nTherefore, it is very important to communicate to customers that they place their orders no later than the weekend of December 19 and 20<\/strong>.
\nOtherwise, there is a real chance that their package cannot be delivered on time. <\/span><\/p>\n

Logistics<\/b><\/h4>\n
Supplier<\/b><\/h5>\n

What you don’t have, you can’t sell.
\nTherefore, adequate inventory<\/strong> and careful management is crucial.
\nIt would be a shame if your most popular products run out early.
\nReview your current stock as soon as possible and place another order with the supplier if necessary.
\nKeep the corresponding delivery time<\/strong> in mind. <\/span><\/p>\n

Carriers<\/b><\/h5>\n

It is by now a known phenomenon that carriers face delays<\/strong> during very busy periods.
\nThis is why it is so important to sensitize customers to order on time.
\nDuring the lockdown, the sorting centers<\/strong> became completely saturated<\/strong>.
\nAs a result, we saw that sometimes a collection was periodically skipped.
\nWe expect that this may happen again in the fall.
\nSomething like this is unfortunately inevitable and affects everyone within the e-commerce world.
\nIn addition, keep in mind that some couriers will charge an additional surcharge<\/strong> for the first time. <\/span><\/p>\n

ShopWeDo guidelines<\/b><\/h5>\n

The expansion of the inbound area makes it possible to process more in less time.
\nHowever, it is still very important to deliver<\/strong> inventory<\/strong> to<\/strong> our warehouse in a timely manner<\/strong>.
\nAs the holidays approach, the inbound process may take a little longer.
\nHelp us with the smooth processing of your goods by notifying the inbound correctly, provide all products with the correct <\/span>barcodes<\/strong><\/span><\/a> and provide the ShopWeDo packing slip<\/strong>.
\nDeliveries can take place between 9 am and 5 pm<\/strong> at the new inbound, gate 10<\/strong> (back of building).
\nDoes a delivery fall outside these hours?
\nFrom now on, we have a safeplace<\/strong> under camera surveillance where goods can be safely placed.
\nFor collections, you can go to the warehouse until 5 p.m. during the busy period. <\/span>If you sell fragile products, it is best to see if they can be packed with extra protection in advance. <\/span>Between Black Friday and Christmas, we will also use Saturday and\/or Sunday shifts<\/strong> if necessary to reduce Monday peaks. <\/span> <\/p>\n
