a combo of the shopping bag and some cider would be a very nice return on a pledge giving a short and long term benefit to them and a long term one to your brand.
it is worth looking into the prices charged by different couriers and research their reputation cos price and quality dont always follow the same curve. |

Just a thought, can you freeze-dehydrate Cider?
With regard to the workshops, do you offer accommodation in with the courses? Was thinking of you got people to ravel to you for the courses and then they had 2 or 3 days to explore the area afterwards? Might that be an idea worth considering if you have not already thought of it? sg |

Lots of couriers wont touch alcohol or glass, those who do are expensive - I looked at this at Christmas time.
Yes, I like the idea of sustainable bags and bottle inside. Re accomodation - this is difficult as personally I can really accomodate them here, and I cant guarantee to accomodate them locally at a set place/price. I can offer to help them find accomodation, but then this wouldnt be a thing for them to pledge to. Difficult. I do like the idea of blacksmith made things as gifts. John can make small items which can be posted cheaper than cider. My SIL also has sent me a link to a crowdfunding thing in Scotland - its a bigger population and more spend (based on a community supported agriculture theme), but there are some ideas I can incorporate. The useful thing about the whole process last time was seeing where people were from - so a lot of Cornish, and a lot of tourists. Research continues.... |
