Day three: FedEx festive top tips for small businesses

Christmas is coming and at FedEx we want to help your business be fully prepared this festive season. As a result, please find today’s top tip below:

#3 Choose your packaging wisely

The opportunity for increased sales is nigh, however it’s equally important once you have those sales, that deliveries are given a similar priority. Use a new, sturdy box that’s a few inches larger than your gift on all sides to allow for plenty of cushioning. If reusing a box, make sure it’s still strong enough to stand up to shipping, for example ensure no torn flaps, no holes or corner dents, no water-damage and be sure to remove all old shipping labels. This is important, as leaving an old label on the box could cause confusion and result in your package being delayed.
