New Year? New! Monthly Subscriptions and No Fees
Happy New Year from the Barn2Door Team!
In 2019, Barn2Door became the fastest growing company dedicated to helping local, sustainable Farmers maximize their profits through direct sales --- and we have no plans of slowing down in 2020! From where we sit, the food system at large is in disrepair, on a slippery slope lined with chemicals, pesticides, packaging and cheap, unidentifiable ingredients. Gross.
We know that local Farmers are the difference-makers, and that there is no time to waste in pursuing sweeping change. The more Farmers we support, the more people will skip the big box grocers and buy local food direct. To repeat a quote:
“Our goal is to open the “Barn Doors” wide open, to make local food readily accessible, and convenient for everyone to purchase and acquire. We want it to be as easy for consumers to buy direct from their local Farmer(s) as it is to shop at a nearby grocer or online at Amazon. We want to ensure the ‘food system’ that wins is one where small and sustainable family Farms thrive. To do that, local food purchasing needs to be more convenient for Buyers (online, in a few clicks), and Farmers need to sell direct. With Barn2Door, Farmers can now leverage technology to cut out the middleman to maximize their margins, and to build stronger direct relationships with their Buyers. For long-term viability, we believe Farmers should build loyalty to their Farm brand versus a market, marketplace or a middleman.”
Farmers all across America use Barn2Door to manage their local direct-to-consumer and direct-to-wholesale business - including managing orders, invoicing, payments, marketing, customers and logistics.
As we prepared for 2020, we asked ourselves - what more we can do to help Farmers succeed? We want to ensure we are doing everything we can for Farmers to thrive, and to power a food system that prioritizes healthy people and a healthy planet.
We decided to make Barn2Door even more affordable to every Farmer seeking to increase orders, access more local customers and save time. Today --- Happy New Year! --- we’re debuting new monthly pay-as-you-go pricing, eliminating service fees for buyers, and introducing a new logo to reinforce our commitment to Farmers. Essentially, we are going to lean-in further, and help subsidize local Farmers in building a more convenient and better experience for their Buyers.
While we will continue to build new features, offer learning opportunities, and find new ways to help Farmers be successful, here is a quick summary of what is new today, as we head into 2020:
New Monthly pay-as-you-go subscriptions - no contract commitments, no markups and no take (%) of your Farm sales
No Buyer Service Fees! Farmers only pay a subscription
