Why and How you should outsource your fulfillment now!

Target Audience: C-Level Publishing Executives and mid-upper management of all publishing sectors

These changes challenge traditional pick, pack, and ship strategies obsolete, and more dramatic distribution channel changes may well follow. For many businesses, operating your own, dedicated warehouse is a thing of the past, If you are already outsourced a regular evaluation of existing arrangements should be an annual event and part of your budgeting and strategic planning process.  Our guest speaker will discuss the why’s and how’s of evaluating and implementing the use of third-party distribution services.
