Establishing a business requires time and the ability to manage customer and client relationships. A business owner will not be able to do this if they are travelling to a warehouse to get an order or mailing shot out. There is also the logistics of getting out a mail shot out. The stuffing and addressing envelopes can take time and this is time you should be investing in new business.
If an order or brochure package has been promised to a client and you need to take a detour to the office to get the order out, this could be time spent securing more business or building relationships. If you have several 100 brochure packs to get out, this is where it can get confusing and time consuming.
A virtual office can manage a despatch service that will allow a business to focus on sales and management rather than mailings.
Fulfilment of orders that are taken either over the phone or made directly must be carried out and delivered to customers quickly as business is built on reputation and gaining trust.
If you have a lot of stock, keeping these at the office premises is not always the best option, especially if the items need long-term storage. Despatch and order fulfilment can also take care of this side of the business. Warehouse storage is one of the best ways to keep stock of brochures, merchandise or even clothing in a temperature controlled environment. A virtual PA would also be able to check in and work with a despatch manager who would be able to document all of your stock levels and despatch logs.
