distribution problem:
1. **Partnership with Local Businesses**: Partner with local businesses such as beauty salons,
pharmacies, or retail stores to act as pick-up points. Customers can collect their orders from these
locations, reducing the delivery cost and making it more convenient for them.
2. **Use a Drop Shipping Model**: Partner with a third-party logistics provider that offers drop
shipping. This way, you only pay for the shipping as orders come in, rather than upfront costs, and
the logistics provider can handle the delivery.
4. **Zone-Based Flat Rate Shipping**: Implement a zone-based flat rate shipping model. Instead of
charging per distance, charge a flat rate based on predefined zones or regions. This can simplify the
pricing structure and potentially reduce costs for customers who are closer.
5. **Customer Pickup Discounts**: Offer a discount or incentive for customers who choose to pick
up their orders from your manufacturing site or designated pick-up points. This can offset the higher
product price for those willing to travel.
6. **Bulk Delivery to Central Locations**: Organize bulk deliveries to central locations or community
hubs where multiple customers can collect their orders. This reduces the number of individual
deliveries and can lower overall costs.
7. **Subscription Model**: Offer a subscription model where customers pay a monthly or yearly fee
for unlimited deliveries. This can help spread out the delivery cost over multiple orders and make it
more palatable for customers.
8. **Delivery Schedules**: Implement a scheduled delivery system where deliveries are made on
specific days. This can help optimize routes and reduce costs by delivering multiple orders in the
same area at once.
Consider combining several of these strategies to find a solution that works best for your business
model and customer base.
