Delivering yourself in your town is a real advantage over big platforms, if it is well organised.
1. Define the area
Postcodes or distance; see checking the delivery area.
2. Let customers choose the day
A delivery date at checkout avoids missed deliveries.
3. Group deliveries
Two rounds a week are easier than every day.
4. A clear fee
Free from a minimum order, a small fee below.
5. Offer pickup too
Some customers prefer to come by.
6. Confirm the day before
A short message reduces missed deliveries.
7. Take care of the moment
A smile and a nice package make customers come back.
Datesly covers point 2; see the demo.
