Hub You - 5 Postage and Packaging Tips to Increase Customer Satisfaction
There was a time before the recession when you didn’t have to analyze precisely what parts of your leadership message worked. Whatever you were saying seemed to get the job done; a PPT presentation full of facts, statistics and quotes. Perhaps you have been called to action with a company memo or a training mandate. Change initiatives were launched from above yet when the dust settled after the wagon train pulled out, the flame ebbed until an emissary was sent to puff on the embers. These were rational approaches, however, not very creative.The disruptive changes of the new economy requires something different. Change can no longer be imposed, it must be facilitated. A strategy has emerged that persuasively delivers the content of dry analysis, linking it together into a compelling illustration of your goal

Creation and satisfaction of customers
It happens with everyone. You go to ebay, you choose a product and then you pay through your credit card or thru Paypal account. You give your shipping address and then wait…
You are not very sure if the product is going to arrive or not. One is not sure if the product is the same that you have ordered for. Is the seller honest? Will they deliver what they have promised?
It’s a very tiresome process. Then you plan, how will you get your funds back if the product that is delivered is not what has been delivered. Almost all customers who have ordered online have encountered these anxieties.
One is not alone is having these worries. Sometimes the sellers don’t deliver at all or don’t deliver as per the stated terms and conditions. As an online seller and a marketer, you can end such negative thoughts of the customers and delight them to their satisfaction even before the product arrives.
Packing and shipping tips to delight the customer
1. Pack the product in a professional manner
As a seller, you must also ensure that the package is packed well. Customers like to receive a professionally packed product. It’s the first impression that counts. Definitely customers are impressed when they see good packing. It instills confidence in the seller. The customers feel good about their product even before they open it.
If the packing is not good or is sloppy, it turns off the customer. The customer has doubts about the ability of the seller to perform and deliver, even before they open the package.
Often the packing costs nothing extra. If you order, the products from the main supplier, they will bubble wrap the product for you. Therefore you get clean professionally packed orders.
Never use second hand packaging material. Many a times sellers will try to pass off second hand packing material to their customers. It creates a negative impression of the seller. In fact those sellers who have tried to do so on ebay have got negative or a neutral feedback.
2. Computer generated shipping label –
Having a computer printout of the shipping label can mean that you mean business. It gives a good impression to the customer. It shows that you are a professional who will deliver what they have promised to do.
When hand written, the shipping labels are just not as effective. Especially if your handwriting is illegible, and it can mean that your delivery of the product becomes slow or in some cases may not happen at all.
To sum it up, these are the reasons
- Computer generated shipping labels look good and give a clean image
- They make you look like a professional seller
- You receive positive feedback
- It helps in the timely delivery of the package
3. Deliver the product ASAP
This is to say that you should send the product almost as soon as you receive the payment and the confirmed order
All customers pay for the packing and shipping. Therefore they should be entitled to receiving their package.
If it takes too long to receive the package, then they become worried and may not trust the quality of the product. It also effects the goodwill among the buyers.
Therefore fast deliveries ensure
- Goodwill
- Future orders and repeat orders from customers since word of mouth publicity is very important
- It also saves the seller potential financial loss and can mean that the merchandise is out of the warehouse faster.
4. An instruction booklet, the receipt for the payment and a personal note should be included
Since the buyer has ordered for the product, they should receive an instruction booklet on how to assemble, operate, and disassemble the product.
The warranty or the guarantee booklet signed by the seller The order copy as well as the receipt of the payment that the customer has made. This is for their convenience. One should also include an email id where they can confirm the receipt of their product.
A thank you letter. This letter creates goodwill between the buyer and the seller. It shows the customer that the seller is not just a fly by night operator and is a genuine dealer / person.
By receiving these things, the buyer feels confident and reassured and knows that they can do business with the seller in the future. In fact on ebay, it can go a long way in creating good feedback

I've been out of school for a few years. Since I graduated, I've learned all sorts of things I wish I knew while I was in school. I want to give you a set of guidelines for summer jobs, so you get paid what you're worth (and not worked to the bone for some unappreciative jerk of a boss.)1. Do not settle for anything less than $15-$30 an hour. Paid by the hour.Frankly, I'm disgusted with the low-wages some college students are willing to work for in the summer. When I met my girlfriend, she was folding clothes for Jasmine Sola for $8.50 an hour! And she didn't even have an option for commission (although I strongly caution against taking commission-based summer jobs anyway...)In fact, while we're on the subject - I know plenty of college students who take some sales position during the summ

I have two buddies that hunt, Jeremy and Jeff. They get up at the crack of dawn and trek out into the Arizona desert to shoot some animals. I am not a hunter and have a better chance of bring struck by lightning twice than shooting a deer, so I am not invited. Maybe it's best that way, I kind of side with the deer anyway - hunting just isn't my thing. Well this article isn't about hunting, but I've seen the gear they have and preparation these guys go through in order to go after their target. To my surprise I started to see some very strong similarities between how they hunt animals and how I "hunt" prospects for clients when designing their projects. Stay with me, I promise you'll see… Personally, I'm not a hunter, but they've got the right idea when it comes to attracting and honing in on a

Merchant accounts are bank accounts specifically designed to accept credit card payments. Such payments can be made by customers at either the store itself through a credit card terminal or online through a shopping cart made in the web page of the company.To accept a credit card payment, a merchant first requires an Internet merchant account in a bank or financial institution.Merchants who have a high-risk business such as adult services providers, online gaming business, casinos, find it hard to obtain a merchant account. This is because of the risks of credit card frauds increase with of the high turn-over involved. The result is that banks shy away from providing Internet accounts to these merchants, who can then turn to private acquiring institutions to provide them merchant account services.

I’m a typical generation Y child. I started a degree when I finished school, thinking that it was just the next step in life. Having only completed a year, I was stuck with so many decisions and had no idea what to do next. So I did what most gen Y kids do: I took a year off and headed overseas.I knew from that point on that it wasn’t going to be easy finding the perfect career. I enjoyed being free and independent and hated the thought of feeling trapped in the corporate world.I attempted another degree, this time in forensic biology. I found this truly amazing but discovered that this degree would only really fascinate me in theory, and not in practice. After finishing my degree I was still unsure of which path to take and still yearned for the freedom to travel. Last year I decided to move down t
