Running an online store means a lot of expenses. In addition to setting up and maintaining the website, marketing and, of course, manufacturing the products, every new sale in your store also incurs costs - for logistics.
In this blog article, you can find out what material costs you will incur and how you can save a lot of money and increase your margin with the right strategy.
Types of non-personnel costs
Before we look at potential savings, it is important to understand what types of non-personnel costs are incurred in e-commerce. These include, among others:
- Packaging materials
- Shipping costs
- Storage costs
and costs for Returns processing. Comparing different providers and prices not only takes a lot of time, but can also cost a lot of money if you're unlucky.
Savings potential through bundled purchasing
So let's take a closer look at the potential savings: An effective strategy for reducing your material costs in e-commerce is bundled purchasing through external logistics providers.

Another advantage of bundled purchasing is the opportunity to benefit from the expertise of your logistics partner. External logistics providers often have many years of experience and an extensive network of suppliers, allowing you to scale your business as required and find specialists for your products.
