Direct to Consumer Logistics

The rise of Ecommerce has transformed the retail industry - and instead of retailers being king, the consumer now has all the power. Brands that traditionally sold through other retailers had to sit in the middle between the retailers and the consumer, but now they have the opportunity to alter their operation.

The brands that are thriving in this new world are those that have acknowledged the change, and adapted to it. It’s all about selling directly to the consumer - by opening their own stores and showrooms, by setting up their own websites, or by selling through marketplaces – this evolution is cutting out the middleman.

THE IMPORTANCE OF EASY RETURNS

It’s no secret that a consumer is more likely to buy again from a specific brand, if they previously had a great returns experience. If an item needs to be returned, consumers want the process to be as simple as possible. They want to visit the returns page, select an item from their original order history, print a returns label and then drop it off with a local postal provider. Next, they want the ability to track their entire returns process both domestically and internationally to ensure their refunds are processed quickly.

SEKO can help you to make all of this not only possible, but easy.
