Midland Pallet Trucks urges retailers to boost efficiency in preparation for upcoming seasonal sales

Amid falling UK sales, it’s more important than ever for businesses to plan in advance to ensure they glean the most value from the upcoming Black Friday and Cyber Monday holiday period says Midland Pallet Trucks.

As a materials handling specialist stocking a wide range of manual handling equipment such as hand pallet trucks and weighing scale trucks, Midland Pallet Trucks works closely with a range of industries. Recent figures show that the UK’s sales forecasts for this quarter are poor, and with fierce competition threatening all sectors, the company is suggesting a renewed and proactive approach to ensure businesses thrive during the winter season.

There are plenty of opportunities to capitalise on the enhanced sales which often go along with the festive season, but only if they’re planned for in a truly strategic and data-driven way. Looking at which products produced the most profit in previous years, working out how to shift more units without compromising quality, and organising marketing plans for events such as Black Friday all have a big impact when it comes to safeguarding business success. Of course, knowing how to store and manage a packed warehouse of stock is key to this success.

To ensure optimum efficiency, Midland Pallet Trucks suggests investing in the right tools – such as the HP-ESRP Weigh Scale Pallet Truck with Printer, ensuring that cargo can be weighed wherever and whenever needed, helping to save time and reduce staffing issues which could occur with more cumbersome kit. In addition, the HIW2.EEU Electric Lift Platform is perfect for helping with key assembly issues, including the unloading of pallets at a safe height for operators.

“We would strongly urge companies to look at how they can boost their sales and efficiency before the winter rush,” says Phil Chesworth, Managing Director of Midland Pallet Trucks. “It can be tempting to overlook this critical time but some key planning should be put in place now which will benefit businesses later, when they’re too busy pushing Christmas sales to do any additional strategizing. By being more dynamic, they can help to boost their performance during the winter season.”
