As we navigate through the summer of 2020, one thing has become abundantly clear: the shipping industry is experiencing a shift. While the global pandemic has affected every industry, it has also shifted consumer behavior in unexpected ways. With travel restrictions and social distancing measures in place, many people are turning to local vacations, outdoor activities, and staycations, leading to a dramatic increase in demand for vacation-related products and seasonal goods.

Despite the challenges posed by COVID-19, Logixacross has been at the forefront of helping businesses manage this increased demand for timely and reliable shipping. Whether it’s sending outdoor furniture, beachwear, or vacation essentials, we’ve been dedicated to ensuring that businesses can continue to fulfill their customers’ needs during this busy season.

The Surge in Vacation and Summer Product Shipments

Typically, the summer shipping season sees a rise in orders for vacation-related items, such as luggage, sunscreen, swimsuits, and outdoor gear. However, this year’s summer shipping surge looks a little different. While international travel has been significantly reduced, people are still eager to escape the confines of their homes and enjoy the outdoors. Whether it’s a weekend road trip, camping adventure, or a day at the beach, many consumers are seeking products to enhance their local travel experiences.

In addition to outdoor gear and swimwear, products related to backyard activities—like grills, patio furniture, and gardening tools—are also in high demand. With many families opting for staycations or homebound relaxation, businesses offering products for these types of experiences are seeing a surge in orders. For companies trying to keep up with the increased demand, fast, reliable, and efficient shipping has become more important than ever.

At Logixacross, we’ve been working hard to ensure that businesses selling vacation and seasonal products can keep up with this sudden demand spike. We’ve helped a wide range of businesses—from e-commerce retailers to small local shops—navigate the challenges of shipping in a high-demand season, ensuring they can get their products to customers on time, intact, and in perfect condition.

Reliable Shipping for Seasonal and Vacation Products

For businesses selling seasonal items like camping gear, pool floats, or summer clothing, fast and reliable shipping is critical. With many consumers expecting their vacation essentials to arrive before their planned trips or summer events, shipping delays can lead to frustrated customers and lost sales.

Logixacross stepped in to provide businesses with shipping solutions that ensured their vacation-related products arrived on time, even amidst the increased demand. We offered businesses expedited shipping options, guaranteeing fast delivery times without compromising quality. Whether customers were ordering beach towels, cooler bags, or barbecue grills, our expedited services helped businesses fulfill orders quickly and keep their customers satisfied.

Additionally, we understand that shipping isn’t a one-size-fits-all process. Different products require different handling, and what works for one order might not work for another. For businesses shipping vacation-related products, Logixacross worked closely with each client to tailor their shipping strategy. Whether the items were large, heavy, or fragile, we provided packaging and shipping solutions that were both cost-effective and efficient.

Packaging and Protecting Fragile Summer Goods

One of the most significant challenges for businesses shipping vacation and seasonal products is ensuring that items—especially fragile ones—arrive undamaged. Think of fragile outdoor decorations, glass bottles of sunscreen, or delicate beach umbrellas. These items need special attention to ensure they aren’t damaged in transit.

Logixacross offered custom packaging solutions to help businesses protect their fragile summer goods. From reinforced boxes to bubble-wrap and foam inserts, we ensured that products were packaged securely and arrived at their destination in perfect condition. We also provided eco-friendly packaging options for businesses that wanted to align their shipping practices with sustainable values.

Moreover, for larger items like patio furniture or inflatable pools, we guided businesses on how to use protective materials like corner protectors and heavy-duty shrink-wrap to safeguard their products during transit. With the right packaging and handling, we were able to significantly reduce the risk of damaged goods, ultimately helping businesses save on costly returns and keep their customers happy.

Real-Time Tracking for Enhanced Customer Experience

In a busy season like summer, tracking becomes essential. Customers are more likely to make repeat purchases when they can track their packages in real time. This is especially true for vacation-related products, where delays can interfere with travel plans or plans for summer activities.

By providing businesses with access to our real-time tracking system, Logixacross helped ensure that customers could easily check the status of their orders. Whether they were tracking a set of beach chairs or a hammock, our system allowed businesses to provide customers with up-to-date information, which helped to alleviate any concerns about delivery delays.

Customers also appreciated the ability to receive email updates or SMS notifications regarding their orders. With automated tracking updates, businesses could keep their customers in the loop without having to send individual updates manually. This added level of convenience contributed to an enhanced customer experience, leading to greater satisfaction and positive reviews.

Managing Increased Order Volume Efficiently

Summer typically leads to a rise in order volume, but the COVID-19 pandemic brought a whole new level of unpredictability to the situation. While many businesses experienced slower sales early on in the year, the shift to outdoor activities and local vacations created a spike in demand. Companies that were already working with a limited staff or were managing remote teams had to find ways to streamline their shipping processes without sacrificing quality.

Logixacross helped businesses manage increased order volume through bulk order processing, ensuring that shipments could be handled quickly and efficiently. Whether it was scaling up fulfillment to meet higher demand or ensuring timely deliveries, we offered the tools and support necessary for businesses to stay on top of orders during the busy summer months.

Through our intuitive online platform, businesses could print shipping labels in bulk, schedule multiple pickups, and track a large number of orders all in one place. This streamlined approach helped reduce time spent managing logistics and allowed businesses to focus on what mattered most: their customers and growing sales.

Eco-Friendly Shipping Solutions for Summer

Sustainability continues to be a key focus for many businesses and consumers, particularly during peak seasons like summer. Customers are becoming increasingly aware of the environmental impact of their purchases, and businesses are eager to reduce their carbon footprint, especially when shipping large volumes of goods.

At Logixacross, we’ve made it a priority to provide businesses with eco-friendly shipping solutions. From biodegradable packing materials to carbon offset programs, we offer sustainable alternatives that allow businesses to reduce their environmental impact while maintaining fast, reliable shipping.

For many of our clients, offering sustainable shipping options has become an important part of their brand identity. It’s not just about getting products to customers on time—it’s also about ensuring that the process is done responsibly. Logixacross is proud to support these efforts and help businesses align their operations with environmentally conscious practices.

Preparing for the Future of Summer Shipping

As summer continues, it’s clear that this season will bring continued challenges for businesses trying to meet customer demand while navigating the unique realities of the pandemic. However, with the right shipping partner, companies can weather the storm and continue to offer excellent service to their customers.

At Logixacross, we’re committed to helping businesses prepare for the future of shipping. Whether you’re shipping seasonal products or planning for the upcoming holiday season, we offer flexible, scalable solutions that can meet the evolving needs of your business.
