Selling Plants

Historically availability has been distributed with paper catalogs via traditional mail.

Technology enhanced that experience by providing faxes, email and spreadsheets which improved the distribution of your availability to your customers. But even in these cases getting the customer orders back into your fulfillment system was a time consuming and labor-intensive process, sometime even taking dictated orders over the phone.

Going online can further eliminate these inefficiencies.

Do You Want To Sell Your Availability Online?

Selling online can bring improvements to your business, customer reach, customer experience and ordering efficiency. It can raise the profile of your business and create new opportunities for growth.

With the right tools it can also reduce your labor overhead in processing orders.

How Do You Go About Selling Your Availability Online?

Typically, you need at least a web site that customers could visit and view what you are offering.

You could hire a software developer or software development company to build a site just for your company. For some companies with the resources and staff to support and maintain this may be an acceptable risk and option.

You could also use a pre-configured shopping site. There are several out there that allow you to load up your items, and descriptions and take orders. Often, there are limits on how you configure your items, but it may be acceptable to you.

Some growers leverage generic community site selling by selling on Amazon, Alibaba or similar. This can improve your potential traffic reach. However, be aware of pricing and listing policies that may be detrimental to your situation. Grower Beware.
