Due to the closure of many food companies, some companies are quickly adapting to support employees, creating creation Revenue and provide customers with high -quality products and services. Suddenly transferring business models and operations to the Internet seems unstoppable, but Woocommerce makes it suitable for companies of any size.
Let’s see how the four small companies use Woocommerce and WordPress to quickly and successfully transform to cope with changing markets.
FIRST Choice changed their operations in less than 24 hours
FIRST Choice Headquartered in London, providing special foods for the hotel and catering industry, including Michelin -starred grade grade Restaurant and high -end restaurants. Well, they usually do this.
Because of COVID-19, many of their restaurants are temporarily closed, and they put food online and start delivery directly. Thanks to their agencies, incremental marketing and WOOCOMMERCE, they can complete the work within 24 hours.
\”What about the turnover time?\” Incremental Marketing wrote: \”In less than 24 hours During the time, we established an online store for our customers! In order to solve their problems and help reduce the burden on the supermarket, they can now transport fruits and vegetable boxes and more and more other products. Kingdom makes this crazy fast weekly turn time feasible. \”

This not only provides them with a source of income, but also helps customers stay at home and stay away from grocery stores.
This online store is very popular, so that FIRST Choice has to upgrade their hosting services to cope with sales -they currently handle about 800 orders per day, and in a Marie Claire about meal delivery services The article was mentioned.
What are the key to their success? They make the products easy to find. As it is becoming more and more difficult to find the basic food storage room in the grocery store, shoppers want to know whether online suppliers have what they need. First Choice lists the product category and search bar in the sidebar and the main menu. Those who look for eggs will be able to find them within a few seconds.

They also display related items on the bottom of each product page. If the duck eggs are sold out, customers can see eggs and goose eggs to choose from without leaving the page.
They have a quick checkout option.If someone wants to quickly order a box of agricultural products, they do not have to experience the multi -step process of adding goods to the shopping cart and checkout. FIRST Choice uses Stripe and Google Pay to allow it directly from the product page.

They explained the details of the delivery in detail.
This is a new way of shopping -customers will inevitably have questions. FIRST Choice links to the header and footer and the delivery information during sharing:
The speed they delivered to the product.
What happened if the customer could not be at home during delivery.
What areas they delivered.
This even answered many questions before they were asked and provided customers with valuable transparency.
They advertised on Facebook.
Because they now sell products to different groups (individuals rather than restaurants), First Choice invests in advertising on social media, especially Facebook. Their advertisement brings incredible results, and they are the emphasis on their rapid success.To component part.
