Warehouse Shortage

Warehouse space remains scarce nationwide as eCommerce rebounded during the latter part of 2022. With the Fed raising rates to combat inflation, many new projects were put on hold and of course, rent increased. With less new warehouse space under construction and record low vacancy rates, many manufacturing and logistics companies are struggling to find space to lease. Those with space are thinking of novel ways to add on, even vertically, and others without are exploring warehouse leases in more out-of-the-way places, away from ports and typical infrastructure.
Tech Backlash

The wildly popular TikTok has been a long-term concern for lawmakers worried about China’s influence campaigns and data gathering. Major brand advertisers are bailing out of Twitter under Elon Musk’s erratic leadership and Meta (Facebook) has laid off thousands. All this dissatisfaction with major social media platforms may deeply impact retail behavior. Etsy and Shopify posted unexpectedly low sales growth and lowered expectations and an analysis by Mastercard showed US online shopping numbers fell for the first time in nearly a decade while in-store purchases climbed. There are many factors at play, one of which is that people enjoy the whole physical experience of shopping in person.
Kitting Benefits

Kitting is a value-added service offered by some 3PLs as part of their menu of fulfillment services. Simply described, it’s the process of organizing separate items, often from the same brand, and packaging them in a single grouping for shipment. The benefits include greater product sales, higher revenue, optimized packaging, and streamlined inventory management. Much of the labor involved in producing these combined orders can be done in advance, so orders can be turned around quickly and efficiently. Sellers increase their online exposure by listing items individually and in groups and customers enjoy the convenience of ordering multiple products at a discount while saving on shipping.
