- Reduce the Commissions for Selling on Sustainable Café Ltd
Given the competitive nature of market place businesses like Sustainable Café, it has been agreed that we will reduce our tariffs for sustainable homeware businesses.
Instead of asking for a 10.5% commission, Sustainable Café Ltd will be asking our suppliers a flat fee of 9.5% for each item sold on our site.
This will include Sustainable Café’s ethical marketing of our suppliers’ products on our site, promoting them on social medias, including Instagram, Facebook, Tic Toc, Twitter and others.
We will also partner with various social media influencers who will promote some of our most ethically sourced products as well as the Sustainable Café brand.
This should not only make Sustainable Café more competitive and attractive to our suppliers and customers, but offer our customers more choice in purchases.
- Back to work
Over the course of 2024 so far, I have been extremely busy with my homeless charity work and had a family bereavement which has taken up a lot of time.
In view of that, I would like to apologise for putting our wonderful project, Sustainable Café on the back burner, albeit temporarily.
My consultation work with Crisis will come to an end at the end of June which will afford me considerably more time to concentrate on the Sustainable Café part of my ethical career.
