Simplify E-Commerce with Blind Shipping for your Custom Products
February 18, 2020
Blind shipping is a popular strategy in the e-commerce industry, helping both businesses and consumers save money by minimizing operational and shipping costs. We discuss drop shipping here and how it can help you achieve cost-efficiency when selling custom stickers.
What is blind shipping?
Blind shipping is a method in which the seller chooses to not keep actual goods or inventory with them, but instead uses a manufacturer who fulfills the goods, and ships them directly to the end customer.
The process begins when a customer places an order. The seller sends the order information to the supplier, who then prepares the order and sends it to the customer’s doorstep.
Why do people blind ship?
Blind shipping has a huge convenience factor when it comes to goods and inventory. When you choose to blind ship directly to your customers, you save a ton of physical space, and essentially eliminate a lot of obstacles in the process of selling goods. Alongside this, drop shipping allows you to offer a wider variety of products, and opens the door to the concept of selling personalized and custom products.
Blind shipping is also beneficial for consumers as it allows them to reduce costs. Because the manufacturer does not ship the products to the seller, there is no added shipping expense passed onto the consumer.
How can StickerYou help with blind shipping stickers?
When you place an order with StickerYou, we deal with all the hassle of printing and shipping. You can create an order online in a matter of minutes, starting at our Sticker Maker. Simply upload your artwork, or create your own using our wide variety of design, text, and image tools. At checkout you can select the “blind ship” option - this also means when your order arrives to the customer, there will be no StickerYou branding on any of the products. By doing this, your customer won’t know we are the printer and shipper of the product, allowing you to own the business process.
StickerYou’s blind shipping service makes it possible for you to offer your market customized stickers for their personal or business needs – whether temporary tattoos with their own unique designs, die-cut singles or stickers for an event giveaway with your customer’s logo or slogan.
