Logistics Break-through

I’ve returned from a long hot session of sourcing information about competitors and postage costs. I’m feeling pretty worn at this stage of the game, and it’s only day one! My heart continued to sink when I knew I had give the team the bad news. I was really unhappy about the postage costs I was getting. None of the postal companies were interested in a special business rate. Their rates make it difficult to run any form of sustainable business online. This is an obstacle to our goal at this point. We need a cost effective solution to the logistical issues we face. I arrived back into the studio to be greated by a sniggering team, who in their air conditioned room had come up with a solution. They managed to source a logistics company who have really gone out of their way to accomodate us. It’s quite incredible what can be done when you’re not dealing with the ‘man’. So thanks to this break through we’re back in the game. Further complications lie ahead as we begin to negotiate whether our supplier is going to budge on his original pricing. We’re hoping he’s going to agree on giving us a bulk price on consignment. I think these are words that he’s not wanting to hear. At least not in the same sentence. We’ll let you know how it goes. But now, it’s time to look at what the creatives, Shane and Fred, have come up with. They are pitching the brand ID to the rest of the team. Stay with us, we might just make it.
