The best options for pallet storage and distribution.

Fed up with having to deal with the time consuming hassle of storing and distributing goods for your business? Or perhaps youre starting up a new business and have concerns about the amount of work you have to do and the costs involved. Choosing a warehousing service could be the affordable and ideal solution for your business needs.



Are you starting a new business in the North East region of the UK in 2012 or simply looking at new ways to manage your existing business?

Maybe your business is online and requires warehousing and order fulfilment. There are many warehouses throughout the UK which are able to assist with these services, taking the pressure off you and freeing up your time, meaning you can focus on the more important areas of your business.

Many companies believe they need to do everything themselves when they first set up their business: understandable due to the worries of costs. However, many business owners are unaware of the affordable help they can receive by outsourcing some of the work. Warehousing and other warehouse services are often much more cost effective than businesses realise and enable business owners to concentrate on marketing their company rather than feeling the need to do it all.

A misconception is that the warehouse needs to be just round the corner from a business. Company owners will often look for warehousing so theyre able to monitor the movement of their goods and keep a track of their stock. However, many warehouse companies have full support systems in place, from collecting your goods or receiving them from the manufacturer or supplier and putting them to store, right the way through to receiving orders, picking and packing your goods and despatching them to your customers.

Inventories can then be monitored anywhere in the world with certain systems, assisting with your stock control management. This allows you to stay in control of your goods and ultimately keep on top of your business without the additional stress of dealing with orders and deliveries.

Another misconception is that warehouses will often only store or distribute certain types of goods. Due to the increase in the warehousing market, many warehouses are now large and successful enough to take on a wide range of goods. For example, any licensed warehouse is able to store hazardous chemicals such as gases, flammable liquids and solids, corrosive substances or miscellaneous dangerous substances. Many warehouses now have specialist equipment that allows them to store and distribute larger goods such as machinery. For storing food and drink, many warehouses offer chilled and cold storage facilities. Wet bonded warehouses are also able to help with storing tobacco or alcohol.

Warehouses will more often than not palletise all the goods they store for a small charge. Goods which arrive already palletised can cut down the costs, making your outsourcing service even more cost effective.  By providing the warehouses in your area with the correct information, such as the number, height and weight of your goods, you will receive quotes quickly and easily, allowing you to find the best solution for your business.

There are a number of warehouse companies in areas in the Northern region, such as Manchester, Wigan, Warrington, St Helens and Liverpool; all of which provide warehouse space for lease, pallet storage and other warehouse related services such as pick and pack, rework and distribution. Businesses can now easily find the most professional and cost effective solution for their project. If youre looking for order fulfilment services it has never been easier to get quotes for storage, RH&D (receipt, handling and despatching charges), picking rates and distribution costs, meaning businesses are able to make a comparison and find the best solution for their needs.

The six rules of SEO copywriting

Gone are the days of traditional SEO techniques, online content is changing. This article discusses some easy steps to make your website’s content SEO friendly. 

There are many areas of SEO, some more successful than others. The following rules give an easy guide to creating an SEO-friendly website.

Rule #1: Choose quality over quantity

In the online world, we often forget the old adage of ‘less is more’, as ‘more’ is exactly what we are in search of: more hits, more shares, more links. We therefore assume that the more keyword dense (and page dense) our site, the better its search engine visibility. However, this is not always the case. The Google Panda update even advised website managers to amend duplicate, similar or redundant articles. It is far more effective is to limit less important content to fewer pages, and even go so far as to delete poor quality content from the site altogether.

Rule #2 - Vary your language

The past SEO technique of using the same keywords over and over is outdated and now unsuccessful. Our everyday language is varied, so why should our pages be any different? It is best to use different varieties of the word you have in mind, rather than present a keyword-dense text. Not only will the language appear more natural, you’ll avoid being accused of keyword stuffing, or having the kind of over-optimised page that doesn’t work for Google.

Rule #3 - Captivate, don’t calculate

There is no magic formula for SEO. Any formulaic approach, such as attempting to calculate the optimal level of keyword density, will only lead to laboured, unnatural copy that impresses no one. Instead create interesting content for your audiences.

Rule #4 - Do not underestimate the impact of a clever headline

A clever headline which captures the audience’s attention will lead to more clicks, more shares and more traffic than a dull, generic headline will, no matter how good the SEO. 

Headlines should be smart but not too clever. Make sure they contain a keyword and are cryptic enough as to probe interest, but not so much to become vague. Check out Copyblogger for some ideas.

Rule # 5 - Don’t focus on the word count

Write only the required amount of content. Once again, it is all about striking the correct balance - your post should be long enough to fully inform and engage the reader, but not so long that it becomes boring. Both long and short posts have their own advantages - longer, more detailed blog posts tend to rack up more links and social shares over time, but shorter blog posts can engage readers quickly and allow them to skim-read. Remember, whatever the length of your post, quality is your foremost priority.

Rule #6 - Don’t scrimp on writer’s fees

Low quality content can do more harm than good. As with many of the rules above, always choose quality over quantity. Don’t pad out your site with cheap content. Invest in good quality articles which will be read and shared by visitors.
