Details

Our project is open to individual students or groups.

Our e-commerce ecosystem connects consumers with their local producers and suppliers of fresh food and other artisanal products. We work with entrepreneurs and small businesses to help get their unique, high quality products more known by consumers. Our vision is to make fresh, unique and wholesome local products more available and accessible.

We would like to work with students in helping us support our businesses to succeed.

The particular challenge we are facing is how to effectively communicate our brand and platform to a wide range of businesses. Some questions that could be answered in helping us face this challenge include:

  • Does our digital marketing strategy communicate our brand effectively?
  • What can be improved in our outreach and marketing process to attract the types of business we’re looking for?
  • What can be improved in our on-boarding and support processes to retain businesses and ensure their success?

We are looking for students who can provide:

  • Practical solutions to address our challenges
  • A pragmatic report including root causes of our issues, possible action plans, and a functional timeline to mitigate the challenge
  • One-to-one weekly or bi-weekly consultation

Deliverables
No deliverables exist for this project.
Mentorship

We will provide a dedicated contact who is available to answer emails or phone calls over the duration of the project to address students' questions.
