Hello friends,
I've been mulling an idea to change the process at DNF. Let's get down to the discussion:
Will people be interested in placing a down payment, of any denomination, at the beginning of the month, or other reciprocal period, for any item that is offered?
The idea is this: by getting money up front I can order a wider variety of items and keep more common items in stock, while lessening the financial burden on myself. I will keep track of everyone's credit in a register book that can be looked at at any time. So, as a constituent you can come by and get as many or as few items as you like, the total being taken off your credit. If any credit is left over at the end of the period, it will carry over until the credit is exhausted.
The other option this idea presents is the ability to deliver items to people. I am drafting an order form that will allow me to keep track of orders. With this new system I'll receive orders via email, phone, or print an order form and hand it to me, weigh the orders and make deliveries on a day(s) to be determined.
Any feed back on this is welcomed. Thanks.
-Robbie

Well, this sounds like a semi solid structure though I believe most organic and natural produce purchasers like the standard farmers market structure and may not be willing to make a consistent commitment. But then I believe you're appealing to bulk purchasers, so it's difficult for me to give any solid comments. Good luck with the future of Denver Natural Foods.
