We’re experiencing a new era of business and commerce. Now, more than ever, traditional brick-and-mortar establishments are competing with e-commerce platforms to offer fast, affordable express delivery services. This means that businesses in South Africa have to adjust their strategies to meet consumer demands: lightning-fast shipping or risk being left behind. And that’s not all: Express delivery services are having a surprising effect on local economies.
As more South Africans become accustomed to a fast-paced lifestyle and instant gratification, there’s an increasing demand for express delivery services. Local businesses are offering these services in pursuit of market share and profits, which keeps local economies active and growing. Furthermore, when more businesses offer express delivery, competition encourages businesses to offer exceptional service to maintain consumer loyalty.
The staff employed to drive, manage and maintain an efficient express delivery system play an important role in driving local economic growth. When employees are paid wages, those wages are circulated in the local economy, creating a positive domino effect. In addition, express delivery services require infrastructure and technology, which provides funding for local governments.
Of course, express delivery means so much more than just getting items to their destination quickly. It means convenience and a certain level of certainty in terms of where and when products will arrive:
Express delivery also means time-saving for consumers: instead of being tied to the window of opportunity between the shipping times of traditional shipping services, customers can order a product when it’s convenient for them and have it delivered according to their schedule. This makes it easier than ever for them to buy from more distant sources, helping to improve the competition and keeping prices competitive.
For starters, businesses will have to take advantage of the express delivery trend in order to compete. Consumers now expect to receive their items at lightning speed, and if businesses don’t offer express delivery they may be at risk of losing customers to competitors who do provide this service.
However, it also presents an opportunity for businesses to expand their reach and serve more customers. A business with an efficient express delivery system can easily access customers from far away and can better serve deeply underserved areas like remote rural communities. The ability to reach these markets has the potential to reduce the economic and social disparities that exist in South Africa.
Express delivery is also helping to boost the bottom line of businesses. For example, a seller of electronics can now ship items faster, allowing them to turnover their products quicker and increase profits. As stated earlier, competition encourages businesses to offer better services, and with express delivery, a business can deliver superior quality services and products while still remaining cost-effective.
