Warehouse Forklift Safety….Video Shows the Importance!

Check out this video just out of a Russian vodka warehouse and what can happen when a simple bump of the forklift into racks of pallets leads to catastrophe…this guy is lucky to  be alive! The forklift driver walked away with only a minor leg injury, but $170,000 of vodka was destroyed, I wonder if he was sipping his own sauce! Here are links to the YouTube video and to FoxLA story/video.

Quality Shipping Services at the Right Price!

It’s already October 1st and while many carriers are looking to raise their rates/contracts going into the new year, Say Cargo Express again prides itself on not having a rate increase since opening our doors in 2000!  Our fuel surcharge continues to be lower than the industry average at 15% and we only continue to lower it on a semi-annual basis so your prices dont continue to change.

In this economy and time, we realize how important the price and bottom line are, but nothing is as important as your products and getting them to your destination both on-time and in the exact same condition they left your warehouse dock.  It starts with the attention to detail and customized service we offer…from taking the quote information, desired pick-up window and special instructions your shipment requires to the driver paying careful attention to noted details on the freight and strapping/wrapping your precious cargo.  Say Cargo Express is proud to say we have .007% damage rate!

The team at Say Cargo Express lives by our internal and external tagline: Old Fashion Quality Service & Reputation with Modern Shipping Solutions!

101 Rules of Tradeshow Marketing…More Than Just Cargo!

Even though we are a freight forwarding company that does specialize in shipping tradeshow freight (not the design or manufacturing of booths/exhibits), we also consult and like to share tidbits of information to our customers/friends on ways to make your tradeshow experience that much more productive; whether you are just attending show or actually exhibiting yourself!  This was a Twitter post by @TradeShowGuy – Tim Patterson that we really enjoyed and thought you would too…below is an excerpt of the 101 Rules of Tradeshow Marketing and you can find the entire post at http://www.tradeshowguyblog.com/downloads/101_Rules_of_Tradeshow_Marketing.pdf

1. The most important thing to determine for each and every show is: What is your objective – for THIS show?

2. The main job of your booth graphics is to grab the attention of a visitor long enough to bring them into your booth to learn more.

3. Look at your exhibit as if standing in a visitor’s shoes and ask: What’s in it for ME?

4. Tradeshow floor selling is chaotic. Sometimes the worst tradeshow sales people are your regular sales people.

5. A crowd attracts a crowd. What can you do to create a crowd at your booth?

6. One media ‘hit’ can make your whole tradeshow. What are you doing to get the media involved?

7. Engage your visitors by asking open-ended questions that relate to your product or service.
