andyshears Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Hi Just trying to get some ideas about the modern way of getting a list of products to the customer, rather than waiting for the customer to come to the website. How do we go about sending a list of either new products, a whole category, or just a catalogue of all the items we have for sale. I guess this can be either sending everyone a pdf to read offline, maybe an app that displays only the items you tell it to show , eg new products. It has to be something that everyone can read while offline down the pub etc. I guess a mobile phone app would be a good idea. Any ideas from anyone ?

bsmither Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 Interesting idea. An emailed Newsletter to (opted-in) subscribers might work. [And a mobile is never 'offline' (YMMV).] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyshears Posted July 18, 2023 Author Share Posted July 18, 2023 (edited) Websites rely on people coming to them to buy, so a website is a waste of time if few people don't come. Mailing lists are very "Old Hat" and allot of people don't like being bombarded with newsletters, then there is the problem of software thinking its spam unless you use a major provider for sending emails. So, we need new ways of tickling customers. I don't mind a phone app on my phone. I hate newsletters on my email. We have a local pub chain that has a great app, doesn't bombard people with stuff, but does always have a special offer available on the app, like 3 for 2, or free cake, or kids eat half price, its a more friendly way of getting business. Does anyone know of an open source app creation site, or does anyone have exp to create an app, at a sensible price so everyone can have a bite of the cherry ? I have alist of what I want, which is not far off what most people would want Regards Edited July 18, 2023 by andyshears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyshears Posted July 18, 2023 Author Share Posted July 18, 2023 Further to my message above. here is a link to download what I consider to be a good example of how an app should work. I am sure there are plenty of ideas that could be combined to help everyone that uses cubecart. Can I suggest everyone downloads this to their phone, to see the power of a good app ! https://www.tobycarvery.co.uk/tobyapp#/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
