Selling through your own website can be a great way for you to build relationships directly with your consumers. But there are also several advantages to selling through PlantBelly. These include:
Selling through your own website requires spending a lot of money to drive traffic to your site and convert visitors into customers. PlantBelly has an active and engaged audience of consumers that are already shopping at our site!
Selling through your own website requires a lot of labor to pack and ship orders (or requires spending a lot of money on third party fulfillment centers, storage facilities, and shipping fees). PlantBelly eliminates this hassle.
PlantBelly attracts consumers seeking a wide array of products and doing their regular grocery shopping. Some consumers may not know to seek your products out online, but may discover and purchase them via PlantBelly.
One of the biggest costs of selling direct-to-consumer is shipping, and many consumers are not willing to pay high shipping fees – fees that sometimes even surpass the cost of goods themselves! As an aggregator, PlantBelly lets consumers pay one low, flat fee for shipping many products at once (making the relative shipping cost per product much lower) or even offering free shipping when consumers buy over a certain amount.
