🚶♂️Went to 2 local jewelry shows in the Bay Area. 90% B2B. A little D2C. 🛍️ 1 business had an e-commerce shop. Let’s just say, it was aged infrastructure. But still, ahead of the pack. 🖥️ 2 businesses had websites. 1 had an inventory management system. Only 1… 💼 There were approximately 75 wholesale businesses there. Im my opinion, this supply chain, as a whole, is in between a rock and a hard place. Struggling to navigate, a bit. This happens, however. Large, antiquated and aged supply chains often struggle, as do their processes, when technology moves faster than it does. So, the businesses within often have to “back track” to begin to catch up. It’s painful. I know. 🔍 I’ve seen this twice, now. I have direct lines of feedback from enterprises up and down the jewlery supply chain… I see and hear the problems we all face. We have much work to do, folks. We must work together to modernize and better equip the diamond and jewelry industry we all love.

🚚 Are Higher Minimum Order Values Impacting "Free" Shipping? 🛍️ Leading retailers like Macy's Neiman Marcus Group, Saks Fifth Avenue and more are modifying their shipping policies to drive profitability and navigate rising delivery costs. 📈 According to a recent Shippo survey, a whopping 60% of consumers refuse to make online purchases without the allure of "free" shipping. But what happens when higher minimums are introduced? 🤔 Will customers fill their baskets to qualify or become more selective in their purchases? Are we witnessing a game-changing moment for the retail industry? 🎯📊 https://lnkd.in/g7GMBzFb #RetailProfessionals #ShippingPolicies #CustomerBehavior #Profitability #industryinsights #freeshipping

Retailers Set Higher Bars for Free Shipping as Delivery Costs Surge Some retailers are concluding that free shipping comes at too great a cost.  Macy’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus and Abercrombie & Fitch are among the merchants that have raised the bar for spending for consumers to get orders shipped free, as companies look to shore up their profit margins on online sales and pass a portion of rising delivery costs onto customers. The average minimum-order threshold for retailers to offer free shipping rose to $64 this year from $52 in 2019, based on a sample set of 48 retailers, according to retail-technology provider Narvar. Free shipping “was out of control,” said Satish Jindel, president of ShipMatrix, which analyzes parcel-shipping data. “It wasn’t going to last, and finally the party is over.” #shipping #technology #data #sales #retail

If you haven't read this article, you should as it brings a lot of context to the "free shipping" fallacy (hint: it's subsidized shipping). One piece that I really liked was the call-out of the very purposeful strategy of encouraging consumers to buy online and pick-up in store. Is doing that as convenient as a home delivery? Generally speaking, no, so there must be a differentiated value prop or some sort of incentive to do so. For retailers with their own stores, it makes a ton of sense. For brands that don't have their own physical store footprint, there are ways to leverage the physical network of others like the over 20,000 locations where you can pick-up a FedEx delivered package like FedEx Office, Walgreens, Dollar General, and others. Did I mention that those shipments avoid a residential surcharge since it is less costly shipment to deliver? I do feel like like there is one piece I wish were included when calling out the cost of shipping relative to an order. Yes, it is a material cost of an e-commerce transaction, but comparing it to just the cost of delivering to a store doesn't factor in the cost of the store. And, depending on the model, if the brand is selling at wholesale to a physical retailer vs. selling at retail selling directly to an e-commerce consumer, there is a broader financial comparison. Also love some of the comments to Liz Young's post that highlights the impacts of returns in e-commerce. #ecommerce #retail #fedex #shipping

RESETTING LOGISTICS STRATEGIES Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue, Neiman Marcus Group & Abercrombie & Fitch Co. are all among the merchants that have recently raised the bar for spending for consumers to get orders shipped free as companies look to pass a portion of rising delivery costs onto customers. The average minimum-order threshold for retailers to offer free shipping rose to $64 this year from $52 in 2019 (Source: Narvar). Retailers are following on the heels of Amazon which last year raised the price of its Prime membership, which includes home delivery, to $139 a year from $119. The company cited rising wages and transportation costs for the increase. #lastmiledelivery #freeshipping https://lnkd.in/g7yvzkFT
