Keetsa Builds Green Business With Help of Shipwire
Hi,
I have a case study of a small business that I think would be of great interest to your readers.
De Nia Lee founder and CEO of eco-friendly bedding retailer Keetsa, has a vision of, not only applying green practices to her line of mattresses and pillows, but also to minimizing their carbon footprints through more conscientious packaging and shipping. Shipwire.com is allowing her to realize that vision and in the process save up to 35% in warehousing costs.
The business almost didn’t get off the ground because traditional warehouses could not see the benefits of Ms. Lee’s packaging, which allows 30% more mattresses to be stored and shipped. The extra space required with traditional packaging would have increased the mattresses’ carbon footprint and made the shipping and warehousing fees cost-prohibitive.
Instead, with a few clicks on Shipwire.com, Ms. Lee can arrange for Shipwire to store Keetsa’s merchandise, let customers or employees seamlessly place orders on Keetsa’s existing website, and then have Shipwire pack up and ship those orders directly to customers. There is no contract, nor are there hidden fees. Using Shipwire.com has allowed Ms. Lee to get her business off the ground -- and pass on the savings in warehousing and shipping fees to her customers.
If you would like to learn more, I could set up calls with Ms. Lee and Damon Schechter, Shipwire.com founder and CEO. I’ll follow up on your interest in the next day, in the meantime, feel free to contact me. Kind regards, Shifali Erasmus-Bhagat
