trying to close you vs. actually being able to fulfill their promises?

Is going with the cheapest price point really the best idea? Kristina

Mertens, Head of Business Development at Packshack, is giving us the

inside scoop on why finding a 3PL partner can be so difficult. Some of

her advice: you have to do your homework and you get what you pay for.

We talk not just about fulfillment but why we think getting to the bag

in eCommerce is NOT the most important thing. If you like Bavarian beers

and want to grow your brand without choosing the wrong partner, you're

in the right place.

The Longer Game is a podcast focused on leaning into the trends and

advancements in retail so brands see a clearer path to success across

ALL channels. We’re looking at retail in a whole new way, looking to

better understand the future of retail. It’s Retail Reimagined. Sharing

hope about the future. No one channel can a business sustain. Go

omni-channel.
