Scotch™ Brand from 3M Partners with TaskRabbit to Support Small Business Owners During the Busiest Shipping Week of the Year
Summary
In fact, according to a recent survey commissioned by Scotch™ Brand, the majority (54 percent) of small business owners spend more time on shipping-related tasks during the holidays than the rest of the year. Just in time for Small Business Saturday, Scotch™ Brand and TaskRabbit, the task management network that connects people with Taskers to handle everyday to-dos and home improvement tasks, have teamed up to award more than 250 small businesses across the country with shipping help through the Scotch™ Brand ‘Getting Ship Done’ Contest. "How many times have you received a box that had tons of filler and wasted space only to find the smallest item at the bottom of the package?” asked Remi Kent, Scotch™ Brand Global Business Director. By arming small business owners with helping hands and Scotch™ Flex and Seal they will save up to 50 percent on time, supplies, and space, as compared to boxes, so small business owners everywhere can spend more time doing what they love – building, promoting and crafting fabulous products.” “For more than ten years TaskRabbit has made it easy for individuals and small businesses to find trusted and reliable Taskers to help get things done,” said Diana Rothschild, Head of Strategic Partnerships at TaskRabbit. 79 percent of small business owners estimate they’d need an average of 10 extra employees to manage their holiday shipping.
