Pocket Office provide insight into how outsourcing at key times of the year can prove beneficial for seasonal businesses.
Is your business seasonal? If so, the next few weeks are going to be hectic!
Depending on your business, this is the time of year when things start to wind down a bit for Christmas – for others it’s their peak time, with all hands-on deck to ensure orders are fulfilled and sent out in time. Efficiency is crucial to maximise the seasonal peak, and it can be difficult to find temporary staff, plus the resources to train them and provide equipment etc.
Jess Jones, Pocket Office manager, shares her knowledge on this topic “Seasonal business tends to get a number of challenges such as cashflow, staffing and supply, so it can be tough to juggle the balls to keep things running smoothly. Good organisation and flexibility are key, which is where outsourcing some of the day-to-day business admin can really help to support an organisation at their crucial selling periods.”
Here are some of the reasons why we are finding more seasonal businesses are coming to us for our services:
Cost reduction
What’s the point in buying more equipment or finding additional workspace for a short period of time? Outsourcing can mitigate this need and provide a cost-effective way of increasing productivity from the existing team and resources.
Better customer service
Having a professional call centre on hand to receive customer calls can really help improve your service & increase the workflow.
Flexible and efficient
Hiring an external team of professionals to handle calls or manage incoming/outgoing mail can make your business more efficient and give you short term flexibility.
Improved focus
Outsourcing your business admin for short periods of time allows you to really focus on the core elements of your business at key times and enable you to maximise the increased selling period.
