Digital Marketing - Study Notes:

Importance of logistics

Logistics can be a differentiator for your business. So we’ve already spoken a lot about Amazon and how they’re taking the retail market by storm by having unbelievable convenience across a huge range of products. And that’s massively supported by having a really complex and highly innovated logistical network.

It can also be absolutely fundamental to your business model. Consider grocery. If you’re selling fresh produce that needs to be with people in a certain time, it’s absolutely fundamental that your logistics infrastructure supports that.
