Reducing APJC Freight Costs Through Local Sourcing and Regional Warehousing
How does OTT Promotions reduce freight costs in the APJC region?
Over the Top Promotions reduces freight costs by sourcing from local suppliers and storing merchandise in-region. This approach avoids long-haul shipping and bypasses international customs charges.
Why is regional storage important for APJC logistics?
Regional storage eliminates the need to ship products across borders. When your merchandise is warehoused close to your teams or event locations, you reduce shipping zones, lead times, and last-minute airfreight surcharges.
