Brand Awareness “without” the hefty price tag

In meeting increased demand, 3P Logistics now offer the facility to create branded store fronts at a mere fraction of the price normally associated with high end design agencies. Whether you require a basic ebay or Amazon store front or a more bespoke brand conscious outlet we have it covered. If you already have a store, why not consider a makeover or even create an extra store to increase brand awareness and gain greater market share?  

Are you any of the following?

·         A single site retailer seeking increased sales through the creation of extra sales channels.

·         A business wishing to outsource the set-up of a store and ongoing administration.

·         A business already trading on ebay & Amazon and looking to increase brand awareness. 

If your answer is yes to any of the above then talk to us.

Liam Humphreys – Marketing Support, added; 

“A fully branded Ebay or Amazon store front can be provided from as little as £300 and can be up and  running in no time. The modest level of investment against the size of opportunity makes this a compelling proposition for our clients.”

3PL removes the barriers to multi-channel retailing

Following significant development and rigorous trials we are delighted to announce the launch of our multi-channel interface: Multi Macs

Contrary to the popular belief that multi-channel retailing is too expensive 3PL have engineered a more affordable alternative compared to mainstream products such as e Seller Pro & Channel Advisor. Fees in the region of £695 per monthly subscription and 1.95% commission on final sale value are the main reasons many online retailers run for cover and instead persevere with single site selling. The market places of Amazon, Ebay. Asos etc and beyond are vast and are too good an opportunity to simply ignore. Our low cost entry to multi-channel retailing has now removed that financial barrier and provides our clients with a real competitive edge whist improving their margins.
With no commission on final sale and a modest weekly subscription there has never been a better time to broaden your market place.

Our order management software and stock control system integrates the entire multi-channel sales process, and handles everything from order fulfilment to shipping, stock control and inventory management. It also integrates with eBay, Amazon, Play.com, Pixmania, Magento and all major website carts. The system enables the client to control all their sales channels from one place – with flexible and powerful tools that allows the freedom to grow sales, reduce costs, eliminate manual tasks and concentrate on building their business. It means that stock levels can be updated across many channels automatically. Inventory management, stock controls and order fulfilment processes are automated - including invoices, shipping management, and customer communications.

Ian Walker, Managing Director commented:
"Our multi-channel proposition will quite rightly raise a few eyebrows within the industry. It is feature-rich, simple to use and affordable – it’s a product that’s proven to work, with no costs per transaction. Existing clients using the system have reported substantial increases in sales, and as we make money through order fulfilment it is a win/win situation for both parties”. In plain speak - our products and services help our client to grow through increased sales."

Testimonials

Coupled with the fantastic professional staff at 3P Logistics this piece of software is a no-brainer”

3PL Launch "Top Gun" Academy!

 

In realising one of its long term aims 3PL are delighted to announce the launch of its logistics academy. From inventory control, to business development the apprenticeship programme caters for people of various ages & backgrounds.

Ian Walker – Managing Director adds:

As an individual involved in supply chain from a very early age, I felt compelled to create such an opportunity for a similar minded age group. We now have a group of people who are learning quickly  using both real life role experience combined with the relevant NVQ. The initial aim is to guide the recent intake through a challenging yet enjoyable 12 month apprenticeship with the incentive of a full time position at the end of the term. The very thought of having a raw pot of talent to nurture is both exciting and challenging  and will hopefully prove to be a reliable pipeline of talent for many years to come.

Who knows – the next superstar could already be in our ranks !

The academy program at 3PL is a fantastic opportunity for me to gain qualifications and a great deal of experience whilst working alongside real life employees, This secondment is one I have been unable to find elsewhere and is proving to be a success in my own development, and hopefully my Career.
