4 Ways ShipStation Provides A Branded Shipping Experience for Your Customers
It’s essential to consistently connect your customers to your brand even when it comes to normalized processes like shipping. By branding your packing slips, shipping labels, confirmation emails, and tracking page, you are able to maintain your relationship with your customers.
From incorporating your logo, adding social media links, customizing emails, CRM messaging, and more, ShipStation gives sellers an opportunity to create a more personalised and memorable delivery experience for their customers, at no additional cost.
Branded Packing Slips and Labels
Branding your packing slips is a great way to add a personal touch to the package. You can brand the packing slip by adding your logo, social media handles, and even a coupon code in the footer. These small touches create stronger brand consistency and can incentivize your customer to return for another purchase with the coupon you provided in the footer.
Another way to add a personal touch is through the shipping label. Adding your logo and some label messages to the shipping label personalizes the package and can make an impression upon delivery and elevate your brand’s image.
Branded Confirmation Emails
Treat the confirmation email less like a tracking email and more like a marketing opportunity. Give your one-time customer a reason to become a returning customer.
Historically order confirmation and tracking emails have an open rate of 100% or higher, due to the fact that they are opened multiple times. Confirmation emails usually get viewed more by your customers than any other email you’ll send.
As transactional emails with social media links have a higher click-rate than those without, we recommend including links to your social media pages. Plus, it’s a great way to build your community by sharing your brand’s social home.
Branded Shipping Confirmation Emails
The delivery email can do more for your brand than just simply signaling that the package has been delivered. Give your customers a reason to come back. Include discounts, coupons or promos to turn a first time customer into a returning customer. If you interact with them in a way that’s consistent with your brand but still personalized, you’ll create repeat customers.
Sending your customer a delivery email telling them that their package has arrived is a way to make your customers feel relaxed and reassured.
We also recommend pushing your customer base to your social media accounts. Provide a hashtag or ask them to tag you in a picture of them with their product.
Branded Tracking Page
Traditionally, the Tracking Portal page is branded by the shipping carrier, but it doesn’t have to be this way. It’s wise to take advantage of branding a tracking page as your customer is going to frequently visit it.
ShipStation’s branded tracking page is a way to make your business—no matter the size—look polished and established. By giving your customers a place to view their shipment’s progress in such a professional way without accessing
