KG (ZHU) and Zucker-Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH (ZVG). In recent years more and more small enterprises have been contacting the acclaimed sugar expert.

Fulfillment service provider RHIEM from Voerde is now collaborating with Brizebox. The British startup sells postboxes online, in which letters, parcels and packages are stored safely and therefore arrive quickly and on time.
If the postman rings twice, the addressee is often not at home.

RHIEM prints personalized package inserts based on customer data. To do so, Rhiem relies on the “target packaging” system from the Munich-based start-up Adnymics. This unique form of advertising not only addresses and retains customers, it also boosts sales.
Long-lasting customer relationships in the online retail business are built not so much on placing orders as unpacking the merchandise. It is for this reason that the RHIEM Group, in cooperation with Adnymics, has recently started printing personalized package inserts for its e-commerce customers to draw their attention to further offers and encourage them to keep using the online shop. “The moment of unpacking is the best time to do our own advertising. A wish is fulfilled, customers try products out and they often need more as a result,” explains Stefan Rhiem, managing director of the printing and e-commerce service provider from Voerde. “It is absolutely essential for online retailers to capitalize on this moment. Inserts effectively turn a package into an advertising vehicle for a shop.”
