The Voice of Retail Delivering the Future: Canada Post
Welcome to the The Voice of Retail , I’m your host Michael LeBlanc, and this podcast is brought to you in conjunction with Retail Council of Canada.
The Great Acceleration of eCommerce brought on by the pandemic has resulted in an unprecedented influx in deliveries. For Canada Post, every day of the last eighteen months has felt like Christmas.
In this episode of The Voice of Retail, I am thrilled to chat with Canada Post’s Director of eCommerce, Steve Eggers. After debriefing on how the pandemic has brought on challenges and opportunities for the Crown Corporation, we discuss consumer behaviour, the scope of the company, building the capacity to handle the growth in parcels, and the upcoming holiday season.
Tune in to our interview and don’t miss Steve’s key pointers for small and mid-sized retailers who will be relying on a smooth delivery to the doorstep this holiday season.
