Dash into the holidays with tips, resources—and confidence
The hectic holidays are almost here. And with a little prep and planning, they can be… well… less hectic. Kick off the season with the quick tips below. Then check out our FASC holiday shipping checklist to help make sure you don’t forget a thing.
First up: 5 quick tips
Take inventory and stock up on express packaging so you’ll be ready to offer properly packaged shipments. Don’t put off ordering! If you wait too late, your packaging won’t arrive in time for the holiday rush.
Catch up on all record keeping, and check to make sure you’re set to track drop offs correctly. Well-kept books and accurate tracking will help settle any potential drop off disputes. If you do need to enter a dispute or check on one that’s been submitted, you can do it through FASCnet.
Personalize your advanced tracking dashboard so you can monitor up to 20,000 active shipments without having to enter tracking numbers. You can also run reports and send email alerts to customers.
Celebrate the season with updated marketing materials. You’ll find resources in the Marketing Toolkit on FASC.net. You can order the new 2023 holiday poster to bring extra cheer to your store. And you can copy and paste prewritten social media posts in your social platforms. You can also order a holiday store hours window decal.
Have your FedEx contact list handy. Holiday shipping is a team effort. Get support for everything from a missed pickup to filing a claim. Lean on us to help make your season a success.
Don’t forget to be dangerous-goods diligent. Review your FASC guidelines and post your dangerous good counter card where it can easily be seen by customers and employees. If you don’t have a card, you can order one from the Marketing Toolbox.
