Myths about Delivery Business

Myth 1: Customers only want free deliveries

Free deliveries? Ofcourse, if you offer something free, you are going to be preferred, initially. But, what about the money?

Free deliveries is a double edged sword and should be used very carefully. You might grab eyeballs in the beginning, but it is just a myth that customers prefer free deliveries.

Customers these days acknowledge the convenience and comfort provided to them and they are ready to pay. They just want you to be reasonable and if that’s the case there’s no stopping you.

Myth 2: Delivery drivers don’t matter

Woah! This is a huge one. Often, before starting a business, one thinks that delivery drivers are easy to get and manage. True, it has become a lucrative option for many, but before reaching to a conclusion, just consider the labor shortage.

Drivers are not only difficult to get but also extremely tough to sustain. And managing them is a whole different task. So, it’s better to think of your fleet and riders as an important asset and treat them accordingly.

With softwares like Tookan, driver management and payouts is super easy and can make your life and business smooth.

Myth 3: Big data is not for local businesses

Data is important, no matter the size of your business. Be it a large enterprise, a small and medium organization or a local company, data can do wonders for your business.

Understanding your audience is crucial to your delivery business. It can help you in increasing your fleet efficiency, provide better customer experience and to make informed decisions.

Myth 4: My business cannot beat the big players
