Benefits of Direct Response Fulfillment Services

Speed and Efficiency are Key to DRTV Order Fulfillment

Long gone are the days of “allow 4-6 weeks for delivery.” Today’s consumer has much higher expectations. When you partner with a2b, we process your direct response orders quickly, accurately, and with care. Technology and automation are integral to a2b’s success with direct response fulfillment.

The order fulfillment process begins when we receive your inventory; by using technology, we “put away” your products in designated locations that are ideal for quick picking and packing. We also employ robotics when optimal. By optimizing the pick and pack process via automation, brands can expect quicker fulfillment times.

Real-Time Inventory Management

One of the most important aspects of order fulfillment is real-time inventory management. a2b’s warehouse management system (WMS) manages inventory in real-time, allowing for a rapid response to customer orders and letting brands know real-time inventory levels, thus preventing out-of-stock and low-stock items.

Customization and Branding Options

The ability to customize and personalize orders is another benefit of direct response fulfillment services. As a result, businesses create a memorable brand experience. Customization includes branded packaging, labeling, marketing inserts, and personalized notes.

What is Direct Response Fulfillment

Order fulfillment can be a complicated process, with several moving parts that must work together. From receiving inventory to packing and shipping orders, it takes precision and expertise to ensure quick and accurate order fulfillment.

Direct response order fulfillment or DRTV (direct response television) fulfillment is fulfilling orders that are placed to a company that sells directly to consumers via TV, radio, and other digital means. Infomercials are the most typical example of direct response selling.

Many established and new brands rely on DRTV advertising. With the popularity of reality TV shows like SharkTank, DRTV is predicted to grow.

Understanding Direct Response Fulfillment

For DRTV advertising to be successful, brands need to have a solid order fulfillment process in place. One of the best ways is to outsource direct response order fulfillment to a third-party logistics provider that has extensive experience.

a2b Fulfillment was started by a product marketer who recognized a need for better DRTV fulfillment. With over 20 years of experience in direct response fulfillment, a2b is uniquely qualified to ensure that your orders are processed quickly, accurately, and with care.

When done correctly, direct-response campaigns can take off! However, they can only be successful if brands can fulfill the orders quickly and cost-effectively. By leveraging a2b Fulfillment, DRTV brands can scale their business, meeting the sharp increase in orders, which is necessary for customer satisfaction.
