A Feminist Approach to Fulfillment Centers
5 Ways Sub SupportHer is Changing the Game of E-Commerce Fulfillment
Let’s break down exactly what ‘fulfillment’ means in terms of the e-commerce world. Fulfillment essentially is when the product is received, packaged, and shipped to your customers, typically in a warehouse space. It is not drop-shipping. Now, as the eCommerce world has exploded in recent years, so too have various warehouse/fulfillment centers. With that said, there wasn’t a fulfillment center catering to women-owned eCommerce brands…until now.
Sub SupportHer is proud to be the first and only fulfillment center exclusively for women-owned subscription boxes and eCommerce brands. But, we’re doing things a little differently than traditional fulfillment standards. Take a look at how we’re changing the game!
1.Female-Focused
According to a Shopify blog post, 53% of their store owners are women, which is one of the leading e-commerce platforms, it’s safe to say that women in eCommerce are dominating the landscape with no sign of slowing down.
With that said, the warehouse/fulfillment/supply chain industry is very male-dominated and “male-marketed” aka, “bro” culture. So we’re changing that! Sub SupportHer Fulfillment is focused on providing an unmatched experience and support for women-owned brands.
2. Upfront Pricing
Look, as much as going back and forth via emails or phone calls sounds amazing (JK!, sounds horrible), we don’t have time for that. With our upfront pricing listed clearly on our website, you know exactly what our prices start at. We do this so no one’s time is wasted in your search for a fulfillment partner.
3. No surprise fees
You should always know the cost of your fulfillment each month without having to wait and see how many additional ‘touches’ your fulfillment had in a particular month. That’s why we don’t charge per box item or insert (hello upfront pricing!), but rather have a low monthly add-on you can opt into that automatically covers any additional kitting you may require during select months.
4. No minimums
You don’t have to like every single aspect of your business and that includes order fulfillment. Or perhaps you want to use that time better in a CEO role. Maybe the one thing that will help you grow your business is having your fulfillment outsourced.
By not having any minimum number of boxes or orders you’re contracted to every month, this allows you to properly budget, but know that you’re not paying money to simply reach your minimums. So whether you start with 10 subscription boxes or 100, we’re cheering you on as you gain more loyal subscribers!
5. Change Agent for Equality
At the core of Sub SupportHer is the innate value of serving as a people-first brand focused on elevating and advocating for women-owned e-commerce brands. Additionally, women-owned businesses tend to give back more to their communities and have a positive impact throughout. We are committed to helping women elevate their brands, thus contributing more to the communities in the United States and around the world.
Furthermore, we firmly believe and strive to partner with people and brands that share our values such as women empowerment, equality and equity for all, ethical business practices, and integrity.
