As the Global leading provider of eCommerce delivery management technology to enterprise retailers and brands, we find ourselves uniquely positioned at the core of eCommerce shipping and delivery to witness the critical issues currently impacting all aspects of retail business. Join our Trading Through Disruption Virtual Series as we debate these issues and identify opportunities to rise above disruption, to thrive now and post-pandemic.

Retailers have had to move swiftly in recent times to adapt to the dramatic changes in how people shop – the question is, has the overall customer experience caught up? As more consumers move online, including more than ever who are new to the format, the strain on customer call centres is at an all-time high. In this webinar, Chris Keller, Global VP Sales at DigitalGenius and Emma Clarke, Product Manager at Metapack, will explain why transparency and access is crucial to staying on top of this demand, and discuss the methods they have employed to help retailers reduce costs, increase productivity, and – most importantly – drive customer loyalty during this challenging time.

Join us for an exchange on the success of ship from store solutions in the time of COVID. How do successful solutions work? And, how do we suggest you get started?

Discussion: Ship from Store

Recent figures suggest eCommerce sales, driven largely by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, have risen 88% globally. With the internet awash with eCommerce experts analyzing the current state of online shopping as well as highlighting the challenges of fulfillment that we’re currently experiencing; focus is beginning to shift to what happens after the crisis, when these challenges are no longer prevalent.

Hopefully sooner rather than later, this global threat will pass, and physical stores will once again open their doors to the masses. As current barriers such as air lane closures and social distancing measures are removed, will we return to business as usual? What will the new ‘normal’ look like?

Our panel of experts will discuss current consumer behavior, as well as delivery and eCommerce trends that might signal what online shopping will look like post-pandemic. With speakers including experts from across the eCommerce landscape, they’ll take a deep dive into the key learnings retail leaders and delivery providers should be taking away from this period of disruption, in order to thrive in the future retail environment.

Moderated by Steve Allen of Metapack.

Future of eCommerce: Post-Lockdown Predictions

Metapack is uniquely positioned at the core of eCommerce shipping and delivery to witness the critical challenges currently facing all aspects of the retail business. A common and significant concern from retail leadership is ‘How will we survive the COVID era? How can we continue to trade despite store closures, warehouse closures, and general consumer reluctance?’.  

In this new world of uncertainty, one thing is clear: retailers who don’t innovate their operations models and transform how they serve customers will fail—and there are plenty of examples of this already happening. Duncan and Mariet will discuss the prevalent challenges facing retail businesses and share the 7 most powerful ways leaders are shifting their mindset and their operations to rise above disruption and continue trading.

7 Keys to Retail Stability in the COVID Era

Delivering Global Loyalty: A Strategic View of the Dynamic Delivery Experience

Consumers today expect their purchases to be delivered when and where they want them. By providing up-to-date, available delivery options at the point of purchase, retailers are able to build brand differentiation and loyalty with targeted and personalised delivery choices.

In this webinar, we will highlight the importance of providing flexible and varied customer delivery options, and look at MetaPack’s new Delivery Options Benchmark report, which gives insight into the range of delivery options provided by 52 global retailers and brands in the UK, US, France, Germany, Spain and Canada.

How Delivery Options Can Differentiate Your Business

For U.S. retailers and brands looking to expand globally and grow their revenue, the European market is attractive. Entering and expanding in Europe is challenging, but with the right guidance and preparation, it can be both achievable and lucrative. Cross-border retailers who can provide a superior delivery experience will be able to succeed in building customer loyalty and benefit from consumers with an appetite for e-commerce.

In this webinar we’ll look at MetaPack’s recently published guide which provides insight into the European market, highlighting the complexities and offering guidance for U.S. retailers and brands.

This is a must-attend webinar for retailers and brands interested in their cross-delivery strategy.

Steve Oliver, the co-Founder and Group CEO of musicMagpie (UK) and Decluttr (US) shares his story of how a business that was started in his garage, trading a few boxes of old CD’s and DVD’s, became the biggest seller in the world on both of the major global platforms of Amazon Marketplace and eBay.com and the focus that has been required on providing the consumer with world-class logistics, both inbound as they buy product from consumers and outbound as they resell it.

In this recorded session from TDC Global, Steve also discusses the reinvention of the business from purely trading in CD’s and DVD’s to now being the UK’s biggest and best mobile phone recycler (which is now more than 50% of the business), the growth of the direct online musicMagpie store and the rapid growth of the group’s US brand, Decluttr.com, which in less than 5 years has become a $50m turnover business and the different challenges that operating consumer logistics in the US has presented to the ones faced in the UK.
