The Year-End Goldmine: How To Maximize Your Earnings With 20% More Lalamove Orders

The end of the year isn't just a season for holidays; it's a peak earnings period for logistics partners. With massive shopping events like 11.11, Black Friday, and the extended Christmas rush, businesses are generating unprecedented delivery volumes. In fact, Lalamove projects a substantial increase in orders around 20% more during this crucial year-end period. This surge means significantly more opportunities for active Lalamove Driver Partners to maximize their income. This blog post breaks down why this season is a goldmine and shares practical tips on how you can leverage the surge to earn more now.

Why Year-End Brings a Surge in Lalamove Deliveries

The year-end period in Singapore is marked by a flurry of commercial and personal activities, making it the busiest time for logistics. Major e-commerce events like 11.11 and Black Friday trigger unprecedented sales, with businesses racing to fulfil same-day and multi-stop delivery orders to meet customer expectations.

Beyond retail, companies ramp up their gifting efforts with hampers and festive tokens for clients and staff, necessitating bulk and multi-location drops. Add to this the logistics for year-end dinners, weddings, and personal celebrations ranging from transporting food and décor to moving bulky festive purchases and you’ll see why Lalamove expects order volumes to spike by at least 20% during this period. For active Driver Partners, this means a consistent stream of jobs and higher earning potential.

Top Ways to Boost Your Order Volume This Holiday Season

To fully benefit from this peak season, positioning yourself strategically is key. Start by extending your working hours during peak demand—typically business hours for corporate deliveries and evenings for personal and event-related orders.

Prioritise high-value and multi-stop jobs, as these not only maximise your take-home pay but also optimise the time you spend on the road. Keep an eye on bulk orders from businesses and be ready to handle larger or more complex deliveries. Maintaining a high driver rating is also crucial, as customers and the Lalamove system naturally prioritise highly-rated drivers for frequent or sensitive deliveries.

Optimising Your Delivery Schedule for Maximum Profits

Careful scheduling is essential when demand spikes. Use the Lalamove app’s real-time order feed to plan your day, targeting periods when order frequency is highest. Consider grouping deliveries within similar zones to reduce empty mileage and increase your efficiency per trip.

Leverage the multi-stop feature to cluster orders in a single route, especially for corporate or gifting deliveries. Pre-book advance orders for the next day or week to ensure a steady stream of work and minimise idle time. Flexibility and smart time management are your best friends during the year-end rush.

Must-Have Tools and Apps for Lalamove Drivers

Equipping yourself with the right tools can make a significant difference in your earnings and efficiency. The Lalamove app is your central hub: it offers real-time order tracking, in-app navigation, digital records for all deliveries, and instant communication with customers.

For navigation, reliable apps like Google Maps or Waze are essential to avoid traffic congestion and optimise routes. Digital payment apps and a portable charger ensure seamless transactions and uninterrupted operations. Having a sturdy delivery bag or box, as well as protective gear for bulky or fragile items, helps maintain professionalism and ensures a five-star delivery experience.

Turning Holiday Customers into Regular Clients

The year-end season is not just about short-term gains it’s also an opportunity to build your client base for the long run. Go the extra mile by providing excellent customer service, punctuality, and proactive communication. Satisfied customers are more likely to request you for repeat orders and even recommend your services to others.

Take the initiative to exchange contact details with business clients who require regular deliveries. By maintaining a professional relationship, you can secure off-platform jobs or become their preferred Lalamove partner even beyond the festive period.
