Hello dear colleagues, even Jesus rested on the 7th day. As much you are stressed from the week, your riders have been doing the hardwork and deserve a day or two to recover. So if possible, alternate the Saturdays in the month they work or give them Saturdays off. Remember they also have families and need to recoup. Health is wealth. Happy and well rested riders make happy dispatch riders. 

 

 

ARE YOU PRICING YOUR DELIVERY SERVICES BASED ON YOUR EMOTIONS?  We get asked a lot by delivery companies how to price their services.  It is very important NOT to price based on how you feel or how you think the customer will react when he/she is told the price. Here are a few things to consider when pricing your service: - Your costs - rent, bike maintenance, salaries, phone calls, etc. - The type of service to be delivered - The current market rate for this service. - Profit (we are all in business to make money). We advise you consult an accountant who can run the numbers and come up with a pricing strategy for your logistics company. What are your struggles with pricing your service? Write a comment, email or send us a dm and we will be more than happy to help.

In a country where a major city has over 2 million cars motoring its limited roads, one cannot but consider this other alternative. MOTORCYCLES. Or Okada, as it is locally called. It is the one of the few means of road transportation that is almost immune to traffic congestion in Nigeria. It is narrow enough to weave in between cars but wide enough to carry medium-sized goods. It is without a doubt, the number 1 go to goods delivery choice for business owners. What many do not know is that you can’t just buy an Okada and put it on the road for business.

  Tip for the day: Hello everyone, it's not cool to use your personal account for your business.  Let's be professional and open corporate accounts. It's actually very easy. 1) Certificate of incorporation: obtained once your company is registered with CAC.  2) TIN: This is obtained from the tax office once your company is registered. 3) Corporate referees: You will need referees from your friends with corporate accounts and not personal accounts.  4) Fill out the corporate account opening form from your bank of choice.

This can be soooo annoying. Pricing your delivery fee as if it's meat in the market 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨... It happens to the best of us. Nigerians generally like to price. It is very important that you set your prices scientifically (don't pick a number put of the sky) and draw up a rate card. Print and publish your rate card for all your  clients to see. When they do price you, be firm in a nice way and say 'Sorry ma, the rates quoted are our best rates' 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊

Dear Logipreneurs, This is the most asked question we get from delivery company owners. Attracting customers is not difficult, you need to be consistent and ready to do the work. Here are 5 ways to attract customers on social media. Set up a social media page with engaging content : We strongly recommend setting up an Instagram page and Whatsapp for business page. Please note that when setting up these social media pages you should include: Your location Your services Operational hours Contact information Sponsored ads on Facebook and Instagram : I know what you are thinking, 'I don't have any money to spare'.
