Do your homework on back-to-school shipping
Do your homework on back-to-school shipping
You’re approaching the college shipping season at your FASC. Don’t worry, it won’t be as hard as calculus or chemistry! But soon, students and parents will be boxing up everything from bedding to bikes. (And shortly after that, you’ll be helping parents ship must-haves their kids left behind.)
Put in some prep time now—you’ll be glad you did. Here are some easy ways to get ready:
Stock up for schooltime
Check your inventory of shipping supplies like boxes, mailers, and cushioning. Have a variety of box sizes for items like TVs, clothing, and electronics. Order free FedEx® priority packaging so you’re set for time-sensitive shipments.
Earn an A+ in customer service
- Let people know you can help them choose FedEx services that fit their budget and schedule. Start by brushing up on shipping options for bulky, fragile, and urgent items. Also, study these how-to guides for advice on sending specialty stuff like TVs, guitars, and furniture.
- Offer your packing expertise so customers can ship with confidence.
- Remind them to double-check the dorm’s shipping address.
Let our marketing tools do some of the talking
Share a social media post to show your customers they can count on you. And reinforce the benefits of shipping with FedEx by hanging a back-to-school poster in a high-traffic area.
We know you’ll ace this assignment! Make back-to-school shippers’ experiences simple and smooth, and you’ll earn additional revenue and repeat business.
