From milk to socks and product samples, subscription boxes have been around for ages. Regardless of what you are looking for, you can find a subscription box for pretty much everything. The key to success when it comes to subscription boxes is not entirely dependent on the actual goods, but rather the transportation from business to consumer. In the US, the subscription boxes value more than $10M and range from clothing to food. What separates successful subscription boxes from others is the ability of a business to ensure that it can deliver in a fast and punctual time.

eCommerce is expected to become the largest retail channel in the world by 2021. Many brands are turning their brick and mortar shops into direct-to-consumer eCommerce businesses. While some brands can adapt much easier than others, other  industries and brands may find a few obstacles in the shift from traditional business practices to the now more digital and fast-paced practices of eCommerce.

Reverse logistics, also known as return management, requires the appropriate measures to promote the flow of materials back from the point of consumption to the point of origin. This flow is an essential component of order fulfillment since returns due to damage, factual errors, and repulsion involve the disposal or reintegration of the replaced products. Reverse logistics can require various stages of planning, implementation, and management of products.

One thing that consumers don’t realize when they place an order online is the amount of effort that goes into the preparation and delivery of their purchase. As consumers, you add the item to your cart, hit buy, and somewhere someone is taking your product and preparing it for shipment. Depending on the brand and distributor, consumers can receive their goods within 24 to 48 hours. For some eCommerce brands, most of the costs are incurred because of last-mile delivery costs.

Post-purchase cognitive dissonance refers to the state of mind that a customer may experience that is related to a prior purchase. It is a widespread occurrence where a customer makes a purchase and begins to regret it thereafter. A simple example is where someone has decided to purchase a clothing item but then begins to think that the price was too high after the purchase is completed. The reasons for this feeling can vary, as both internal and external influences play a part. However, the defining factor is the sense of dissatisfaction or unease surrounding the purchase.
