They pick up, package, and ship your items for the lowest price. What started as a pain point for an eBay power seller quickly turned into a fast-growing business that recently made Fast Company's 50 Most Innovative Companies.

Shyp shifted its focus from consumer to small businesses by adding features like a web dashboard, scheduling pick ups in advance, and integrating with e-commerce platforms. As the communications designer, I was responsible for educating small businesses and consumers on the value of Shyp and how it can help save them time, save them money, and improve their customer service.

Meeting the makers

Meeting the makers

Artist and makers are a key target customer for Shyp. Their items are valuable, their time would be better spent on their craft, and their volume isn't high enough to warrant a 3PL. To showcase how valuable Shyp can be to their business, we set up booths at local craft shows and targeted shoppers to demonstrate our seamless shipping process to vendors–and hopefully boost their sales!

Shyp's damage rate is 10x lower than the industry standard. To gain trust with artists with their valuable artwork, I designed a step-by-step guide showcasing the many steps Shyp takes to ensure their artwork is safe. In addition to the PDF, I condensed it into a handout for tradeshows, events, and sales representatives.
