Whether the analysts are being asked to track engagement, traffic, conversion, retention\u2026 brands strive to outdo each other at every possible opportunity, with the main goal of getting in and sticking in people\u2019s heads.<\/p>\n<p>So all these questions get thrown at the marketing departments, right? What can you do to grab a customer, drive them to your site instead of a competitor, nudge them into buying when they otherwise wouldn\u2019t, establish the brand as a part of that customer\u2019s lifestyle?<\/p>\n<p>For the last half decade or so, it seems the battleground has been speed to market, and the ability to deliver <strong>hype<\/strong>: Trends, like the mullet and wayfayers, used to last decades, years, at least a Spring\/Summer season. Whereas now a hype trend can come and go on Instagram within a few days, thanks to one well served look on a red carpet, a *paid ad* sponsored post, or on a viral TikTok.<\/p>\n<p><span>Seeing this more and more, brands have set themselves up, both from a marketing and supply-chain perspective, to be able to roll out new products rapidly. This allows an immediate response to current, trending fashion zeitgeists for something like a <\/span><span>\u201ctwo-week rush\u201d campaign, or a big-name hyped influencer range, edit, lookbook, or collection.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>And naturally, the more sales the better, right? Yes\u2026 but not without asking EVERYONE who has a stake in delivering what happens after the sale itself. So that\u2019s exactly what we did. Here are the experiences of multiple high-profile brand Founders and Operational leaders, who share their take on boosting marketing spend and sales numbers, and how fulfilllment and logistics become the crucial pieces of the puzzle:<\/p>\n<h2>Upscaling rapidly to meet booming demand<\/h2>\n<p>Over in Sydney, Australia, Meshki are a women\u2019s fashion and lifestyle brand in hypergrowth mode, who have scaled by over 500% in the past 3 years. At the helm from an operational perspective is Damien Park-Neilson. From the first few weeks of his role up to now, the major challenges are always bringing efficiency and process improvement to an extreme \u2018creative chaos\u2019 environment, led by ambitious and visionary founders:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cRight now, when there\u2019s so many kinks in your supply chain, it\u2019s kinda like being a firefighter\u2026in order to deliver that seamless customer experience you have to align everything end to end from your suppliers, your freight-forwarders, all the way to the returns management. It\u2019s a communal effort trying to stay aligned across the departments, as it\u2019s always the supply chain that is gonna get hit when the team has a great idea that they decide to just execute straight away. We\u2019ve made a load of mistakes along the way, but it\u2019s all about learning from them. We\u2019re a lot better at looking at the data now, and a massive part of my role has been implementing the right systems and processes alongside that to make better decisions and streamline everything. Before that, we really were busting out of the seams: a typical Monday could have been 200 orders, but on the first Black Friday (my second month at Meshki) I remember coming in and there were 8000 orders in the backlog. We were trying to do the projections based on our average speeds at the time, and it was coming back with two weeks! We had to pull all the staff out of their roles, from design, marketing, everyone including the bosses were in the warehouse, to chip in and pack orders. There was no way we could scale like that.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.peoplevox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/meshki-logistics.jpg\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\" alt=\"meshki logistics\" class=\"wp-image-16694 alignnone size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peoplevox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/meshki-logistics.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/www.peoplevox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/meshki-logistics-980x551.jpg 980w, https:\/\/www.peoplevox.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/meshki-logistics-480x270.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1280px, 100vw\"><\/p>\n<p>A move to a vast new distribution centre, coupled with implementation of various back-end systems including a WMS, have allowed Damien to get Meshki ahead of the demand curve, rather than fighting a huge uphill battle every time that volume pressure comes along from great marketing and an in-demand product.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cOnce we had what we needed to execute, it has all flown.

And the beautiful thing is adding more pack stations is easy.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Life Time Value, driven by exceptional fulfilllment<\/h2>\n<p>Paul Waddy, who is now CEO of The Horse, faced similar challenges as Operations Director for another Australian shining star in the online fashion industry, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.showpo.com\/eu\/\">Showpo<\/a>. For him, not only was the brand growing faster and faster with ever increasing order volumes (and with a social media backlash to boot after some problem orders), moreover, Paul knew that exceptional fulfilllment could itself be used as a growth driver for the business, when executed correctly:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cIf you\u2019ve got flexibility across your staff, a great team, a WMS that is agile and can handle it, and great freight partners, that\u2019s a powerful combination that will allow you to offer things like picking orders until midnight to get the customers their orders on the next day, getting out same day delivery to 55% of Australia, way ahead of anybody else including Amazon. We weren\u2019t just worried about packing people\u2019s orders and getting it to them, it was about using the exceptional fulfilllment capabilities to bring people back and offer an incredible experience. Great tracking, prompt delivery and easy returns are all ways of exceeding expectations. Some companies are happy just when they make the sale, and that part of the user experience, but the post sale journey is as important. If you want to retain customers, and for me, lifetime value is the most important metric above all, you have to have a very slick logistics offering. You have to get the parcel to them quickly and cheaply, and if they send it back, just handle it quickly and easily, all with accuracy of course.
