As fall semester comes to a close, you and your mailroom staff are surely breathing a sigh of relief. Your students have all received the holiday gifts that they ordered online – since they were too busy studying for exams to go out and shop – and their rented textbooks have been returned. You now have winter break to recoup and relax. But don’t get too comfortable, the start of spring semester is just around the corner. With a new semester comes the second move-in, which means you’re about to be busier than ever.
We see a big spike in the number of packages logged in December. On Cyber Monday, 129 million Americans made purchases online. These transactions amounted to $1.5 billion of online spending in a single day, making it the greatest online shopping day in US history. Likely, you saw a lot of packages as a result. However, as bad as that was, it’s about to get worse. Come mid-January, we see a spike in packages logged 1.5 times larger than the December rush.
So, don’t look at winter break as a vacation, take the opportunity to prepare your mailroom with a package tracking system. Implement our Easy Track It package tracking software and zip through those packages 4-10 times faster than you would logging them by hand. EZTrackIt’s package tracking systemwill also ease your students’ anxiety about waiting for their packages to arrive. Our package tracking software will send them an email, text message or even a Facebook notification automatically when their packages are logged.
Don’t just rest on your laurels this winter break. Take a week or two off for the holidays and then get serious about your package tracking system. Contact us today to see how our package tracking software can help you get through second move-in with ease.
