Snow storms and port closures – how do you get your products delivered?

The headlines of late trumpet the impact of the extreme weather on the east coast – flights cancelled, roads closed, and staff unable to get to the office.  And then add daily updates about the Los Angeles/Long Beach port closures, and their impact on retailers.  “Even a partial shutdown of operations is a big deal here. At the combined ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, about $1 billion worth of cargo comes through every day.” So how do you get your products delivered?

A fulfillment services partner can help you get your products where they need to go by leveraging their knowledge and experience in logistics – even during bad weather and port closures.  They’ll know where your product is and how to manage disruptions.  Vision’s extensive experience in logistics tracking and planning services encompasses the full spectrum of options.  From domestic less-than-truckload, truckload, rail, and air service - all managed with web-based rating tools and daily tracking to shipment delivery, international import / export air and ocean services, and local cartage and small parcel shipping, Vision can help you manage the bumps in the road on the way to getting your products in the customers’ hands.

How can using outsourcing maximize your potential on the Trade Show circuit?

A Trade Show can provide a great opportunity for new sales contacts, critical partner relationship development, and an assessment of the competition.  You want to capitalize on the business opportunities.  Unfortunately, by the time you arrange to get your trade show assets such as a booth, computer displays, and marketing materials to the show and then get everything set-up at the show, you’re often too exhausted and frazzled to truly be “on” for actual show itself! So how do you stay focused on your purpose for being at the trade show and not get distracted by the details?

 
Outsource!  Have someone else get all your tradeshow assets to the show and set-up, so you can remain focused on which contacts to pursue, your strategy for successfully closing deals and executing with maximum focus and energy.  Vision’s trade show services can provide a turnkey solution to managing what is usually a salesperson’s greatest headache. Vision can store, manage, ship, and even setup all of your trade show assets.
