As the busiest time of year approaches, preparation is everything. We asked a few of our directors at NRI to share their top pieces of advice for brands looking to navigate peak season with confidence. From demand planning to customer communication, here’s what they had to say about setting yourself up for success…

 

“Customer satisfaction often comes down to one thing: how reality measures up to expectations. To create a positive experience during peak season, brands need to set clear, realistic expectations for their customers, and then focus on meeting or exceeding them. One of the most common missteps is neglecting to update or clarify shipping terms on the website. When the information isn’t accurate or detailed, customers are more likely to be frustrated when things don’t go as expected.”

Travis McKenna

Director of Operations, Canada, NRI 3PL

“To deliver a smooth peak season, we need our clients to be proactive partners: share accurate forecasts, give us a heads-up on promos, flag and clear roadblocks quickly, and keep the communication flowing. When we do that together, everything runs better- for our clients and their customers.”

Sindy Herrera

Director of Operations, US, NRI 3PL

Strong partnerships are the foundation for a flawless peak season. Peak performance is built through early planning, open communication, and a shared drive to exceed customer expectations. Forecasting, promotional timing, and strategic fulfillment are what turn peak season into business as usual.”
