Just signed up for a trial. Really looking forward to it. A couple of things:
1. The sign up process is SO EASY. Fantastic - wish other sites would make it so simple. Choose your level of service, pay, done. Fast and quick.
2. Email newsletter signup? Didn't notice one. Would be a great way to keep people who pay for gift subscriptions in the loop.
3. Provide a custom email for people who have bought a gift subscription. At the moment, it's just the link. If you provided a page or sample email that was like 'Hey, I've bought you a subscription to Candy Japan!!!! Here's what happens... etc etc' - I think it would make the impact of the gift greater.
- bemmu 12y agoI don't really know how wholesale works, not sure how to learn more about it. What I called the newsletter is really just a description of the items that we send to subscribers when stuff is shipped to them. Good idea about the explanation page for gift subscriptions.
- bane 12y agoThis is American focused, but I think the story is very similar in Korea, so it might parallel how it works in Japan as well. http://www.wikihow.com/Buy-Wholesale http://www.wikihow.com/Buy-Wholesale I know in Korea that some of the big "traditional" style markets have shop fronts that are only wholesalers and won't sell to regular customers. If there's an analog where you live you might want to hit those up. I wouldn't at all be surprised if there's a wholesale confectionary market of some sort that meets once a month or whatever. My sister-in-law ran a small store for a few years and she'd go to a local convention center/stadium and buy all kinds of inventory at such places.
