Shipping Costs, Narrowing Profit Margins, Small Business Survival. Enter the Urban Honesty Stand and thinking outside the box. In our case, The Soap Box.
Some business models are better matched (think: profit) for #ShopLocal, like our artisan soap and candle business. Hence, we are a huge supporter of local retailers, especially the ones who carry our products! On the other hand, if you're not in SW Florida or simply enjoy shopping in your PJs with a glass of wine in hand, we are happy to accommodate. Offering multiple sales channels is the key to survival.
In the next few weeks, our experiment will begin. Bumps in the road...sure. Communicating inventory and availability will be via social media. Cash is King. Pricing will be in whole dollars. An online payment option, via Venmo and Zelle will also be offered.
Still to come: Curbside Pick up. Place your order online, receive notification when it is ready for pickup at The Soap Box. Hours may vary.
Feel free to leave us your comments in our Soap Box welcome book, or via email at info@hamiltonchandlery.com
