1,500 hours of shipping help and Scotch™ Flex
& Seal Shipping Rolls will be awarded to small businesses in
‘Getting Ship Done’ contest
Online marketplace sellers, small business owners and their
employees wear several different hats, from makers and lawyers, to
salespeople and accountants, and everything in between. During the
busy holiday shopping and gifting season, though, one task in
particular proves to be a pain point for small business owners –
shipping. 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.

How to Use Scotch™ Flex & Seal
Shipping Roll
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. Winners will receive Scotch™ Flex & Seal
Shipping Rolls and a TaskRabbit code to redeem for Tasker support
with packing and shipping starting during the busiest shipping week
of the year, December 16th, giving small businesses time back to
focus on their passions.
"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. “In launching the Scotch™ Flex & Seal Shipping Roll
and teaming up with TaskRabbit, our mission was clear: provide
entrepreneurs with the tools they need for a better way to ship. 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. “We’re excited to partner
with Scotch™ Brand to help small business owners, who often have to
manage a wide variety of tasks with little support, especially
during the busy holiday season.”
