How Can Santa Benefit from Serve?

A jolly old gentleman with a legion of loyal warehouse workers building and shipping toys to children around the globe. We’re talking about Father Christmas himself, Santa Claus.

Santa is a permanent fixture in the imaginations of millions of children around the world. According to Pew Research data, one-fifth of Americans surveyed indicated their children believe in Santa Claus. Statista Research found 40 percent of U.S. consumers also firmly believed in Santa Claus. Data provided by NPR indicates over 100 thousand phone calls come into NORAD’s North American Aerospace Defense Command center each Christmas Eve from children asking Santa for Christmas gifts.

To say Santa is busy during the holiday season would be an understatement. The stress Santa goes through making all his deliveries must be enormous. With children all over the world believing in Santa, the number of presents he has to deliver is mind-boggling. Just think about the logistics of delivering gifts to the world’s children in one single night and crossing multiple time zones in the process. How does he manage to accommodate that many presents in one sleigh without needing to make numerous trips back to the North Pole to refuel and refill his sleigh with Christmas gifts? It’s not like he can attach a trailer to the back of his sleigh to haul his heavy load or enlist the services of a convoy of Santa Claus elves to fly multiple Christmas sleighs.

The sheer magnitude of the number of packages Santa Claus needs to deliver must cause significant wear and tear on his sleigh. Think about the expenses Santa Claus must face to repair his sleigh each holiday season. Not only does he have to face astronomical sleigh repair bills, but he also has increased food costs for his reindeer. Hauling jolly old Saint Nick around on his beefy backside in a heavy sleigh all night isn’t the type of work wimpy reindeer can endure. They need constant refueling of their energy stores to help them pull harder. Those reindeer food bills must mean a major hit to Santa’s bank account on Christmas Eve.

What if the gifts he’s hauling in that warp-speed sleigh of his don’t arrive in perfect condition? Since Santa is traveling at a very fast rate of speed across multiple time zones and in crazy weather, there’s no guarantee each gift he’s hauling arrives in pristine condition. What Santa needs is a logistics management solution to maximize his delivery potential and safeguard the eagerly anticipated wares he’s hauling in his super sleuth sleigh to a minimum of 603 million children. Sounds like it’s time for Santa to discover Serve.

Serve can help Santa make deliveries happen faster so he can go home, rest, enjoy cookies and milk, and maybe make it up to Mrs. Claus for being out all night with Rudolph and the boys. Using the Serve platform to enable faster deliveries means less stress. Santa’s elves are able to join the global workforce via Serve to help Santa make deliveries on Christmas Eve. They can even build their own delivery businesses via the Serve platform to generate income during the rest of the year when Santa doesn’t require their services.

But wait, there’s more! Children’s parents can also join the elf workforce and help frantically frazzled Santa manage his magical mission. Just as Santa needs elves to make toys for boys and girls around the globe, he also needs the assistance of elves to manage his delivery process. With the availability of the Serve platform, service providers (elves and children’s parents…aka Santa’s workforce) can stake tokens to assure successful deliveries to eager children around the world. With a faster and more efficient Santa, Christmas is going to be a lot better thanks to Santa’s new global workforce.
