Default Very interesting marketing



I don't think this would work for me as I actually enjoy grocery shopping but definitely outside the box sort of thinking.

That's awesome.

Doesnt Co-op have a similar home delivery program too?

right now if my phone gets lost/stolen I gotta worry about a saucy pic or two getting out, the last thing I need is $1100 in Condoms and Kiwi's delivered to my my house if we had some of those around and I lost it.

That's a very smart idea. Like others have said I don't see it working in Canada, but realizing that people have wait times for the subway, and giving them something productive to do that saves in another aspect of their lives is great.

While grocery shopping probably wouldn't work here, it may be a good idea for other aspects of our shopping lives.

Pizza delivery, order Chinese, purchase electronics, download media, order a cab, all from a QR code on the side of a bus stop/LRT station/etc could be a great idea.

i don't see commuting as being popular enough in NA.....in higher density places where most people use public transit this would be viable for the long term.

Very cool. Sounds like a logistical nightmare though. Delivery would be tough to organize if people are ordering food at rush hour and expecting it to arrive by the time they get home.
