More and more local producers are using this type of win-win agreement.<\/li>\n<li>Are you lucky enough to have your own network of physical stores? Promote click &amp; collect everywhere possible: in your newsletters, on the homepage of your website, in your order conversion tunnel, etc.<\/li>\n<li>In the weeks leading up to Christmas, consider adding an express delivery option as well, even if it&#8217;s not available the rest of the year. Customers who have waited until the last minute will be happy to have the choice, even if it means paying extra for this high-speed delivery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div id=\"attachment_76025\" style=\"width: 1610px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-76025\" class=\"wp-image-76025\" style=\"border-radius: 5px;\" src=\"https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/manage-christmas-deliveries-antsroute-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1053\" srcset=\"https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/manage-christmas-deliveries-antsroute-1.jpg 1739w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/manage-christmas-deliveries-antsroute-1-300x198.jpg 300w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/manage-christmas-deliveries-antsroute-1-1024x674.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/manage-christmas-deliveries-antsroute-1-768x506.jpg 768w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/manage-christmas-deliveries-antsroute-1-1536x1011.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/manage-christmas-deliveries-antsroute-1-222x146.jpg 222w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/manage-christmas-deliveries-antsroute-1-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/antsroute.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/manage-christmas-deliveries-antsroute-1-114x75.jpg 114w\" sizes=\"(max-width:767px) 700px, (max-width:1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-76025\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">There are more and more deliveries to Lockers.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 id=\"communicate-before-the-order-is-planned\"><span id=\"Communicate_before_the_order_is_planned\">Communicate before the order is planned<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>E-mail marketing is your friend, and even more so in December! Plan now the newsletters you will send to your customers to inform them of the deadlines to be delivered before Christmas. Clearly indicate in your newsletter and on your website the deadline of order for each delivery method. A non-validated order is always better than an unhappy customer because you didn&#8217;t meet your commitments.<\/p>\n<p>If you use AntsRoute, you can directly connect Mailchimp, Active Campaign or HubSpot software using Zapier. In just a few clicks, the contact information is automatically transferred, without errors or double entries.
