Sa Zample Box

[kimbo]

Can something like this be viable

I dont wanna taste juice from all over the world for the simple reason if i like it i will have to spend an arm and a leg to get some again.
Something like this will be the perfect opportunity for the retailers to get their juice out there,
Have it the same way as the US one, you choose what kinda flavors you prefer and a sample, your pocket dictates how big, is send to you.

Awesome idea

I think the local juice retailers must really think about this,

Ecigssa can do the logistics. The shopping tab can be the Zamplebox tab, the mixers can send 10ml bottles for that box, you spend now for advertising your shop, to sell mods and if most ppl are like me. I wonder what the juices taste like that you sell, I can read a review but this way i can buy a Zamplebox and taste the juice.

You get exposure on that front. I think it can really work in your favor or do you make so little on juice that you dont want to advertise your product

 

[Limbo]

Great idea.

 

[kimbo]

@Gizmo can something like this be done?

 

[WHeunis]

That "E-Shop" button at the top of the forum has been bugging the crap out of me...

Was that used at some time? Are there plans for it in future? Near future, far future?

If i were in a major center i would gladly offer to help with this, i have all the time in the world, well i am quite bored at home lol. But i am in the middle of no ware so to get the stuff here and out from here will have to be with SAPO

Remember, Zamplebox is a business on it's own. I do not think just anyone will step forward and take on this challenge. Do you even know how much admin will have to go into something like this?
Eciggsa is also just people like you. Working and playing on the forum. Ain't no body got time to do this on the side.
If there is someone willing to start doing this as a business, that will be awesome.

@thekeeperza i just read you reply in another thread and i really like your view of having just SA juices in the box doing the round, but like i said before the retailers must start to realize to potential in this. Do you think that your juice is not up to scratch and just hope someone buy it so that you can make some, or do you want to advertise it, have to whole country know that this is what the can buy on your site

Asking the question to the retailers, local mixers why dont you advertize your hard work. We have some awesome juice here but somehow you feel for some reason you will just keep to word of mouth advertizing

 

[kimbo]

@TylerD like i said time is not a problem, just not being in a major center can be a problem

I smell money.
Somebody want that money?

If i could i will love to start something like this, i have the time, no real income apart from the government disability pension, but yea in the middle of no ware

 

[TylerD]

Well, that is what most of the import guys do.
Buy bulk and then break it into smaller batches and then sell it.
If you're in the freestate or in Nelspruit. Not an issue because there is also post offices and courier services there.
There is a vape shop in Harrismith and he copes.
Internet and postage makes the world much smaller than it was 10 years ago.

All the retailers I think do realise the potential as they have all given samples for the taste boxes.

Admin etc on a zamplebox will be hectic. The taste box is the same as a zamplebox just for free

agreed. tastebox is serving that same purpose.

 

[hands]

nice idea.

 

[kimbo]

To have a box made that will fit 10 x 10ml bottles is about 50cent each. But you have to make a shitload , about 3800, as a min order

Then the sticker, and the juice

 

[Rellik]

I like it.

This would work if somebody was to take it on, like Tyler says, as a business and obviously turn a profit.

Get a subscription base going. Negotiate bulk deals with suppliers, get the juices in, put it together and ship.

Rinse and repeat.

If I had time I would definitely do it. It could ammount to a good little business. Retailers would obviously be willing to negotiate as they are assured of nice, frequent big deals.

 

[KieranD]

Its not something that is entirely impossible to arrange. But will need commitment from subscribers in advanced. Doesn't help committing to a litre of juice and have 3 guys take it or have 300mls of juice on order and 300 people want it

Like i said before time is not a problem, startup capital is, website is.

I thought for the fist run, buy say 100ml of a juice and decant it into 10ml PET bottles yourself, with just a plaint white sticker with the name on there. If the retailer want better option with the bottles they can donate stickers or bottle or something

 

[Rellik]

Another problem might be the Nicotine strength preferences ?

I thought make it 0mg at a start so that the client can taste the juice, he/she can order the nic strength from the site if they want to go further. At least they have a 95% idea what the juice taste like

Ya no for sure, it's a great little plan.

Me for example, not interested in waiting 6 weeks or whatever for an international package, with juices I'm not all sure of.

I know what's available locally and like. Next month I want juices from 3 or 4 different retailers, so that's a lot of courier fees.

This would be awesome. One courier fee, I could get a bit from a few. Problem solved. This is like smoking - I will need to spend a certain amount on juice next month. If I can have a good selection with one simple delivery - all good.

 

[Rellik]

Not being a Juice expert (yet), just a thought. Could one not include pure nicotine that you can add to your juice yourself?
