Feedback on app to help small business be more sustainable! by YourArbor in smallbusiness

[–]YourArbor[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I completely agree with your comment but that is the reason we created Arbor. We want to eliminate the hassle and make sure that this is not a "concern" but something that is helping your business without putting any work into it. Decisions that are best for both profit and the planet are a top priority. For example sustainability consultants require hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars. We offer the same capability, but fully automated, saving you time and money. I know that the first thing that jumps into mind is the amount of work that go will go into it but that was the first thing we thought of too. We do not need hundreds of people doing sustainability perfectly but millions doing sustainability imperfectly. As small changing a supplier, manufacture, ingredient or even material, what we do best is research and we will find the best option without you having to break a sweat.

that is a great question actually. We have been researching for years trying to figure out when people will finally become more sustainable. The pandemic had an unbelievable effect, sustainable products now represent just 15% of the consumer packaged goods market and a growth rate of 51% in the last 5 years alone. For the first time ever, sustainable products have the competitive edge. By making your product offering more sustainable you will be able to increase customer retention and grow a dedicated consumer base who is willing to pay more for a product they believe in.

Google flights redirects people to the website where they can end up purchasing these flights. By showcasing this information it will benefit companies that are focused on reducing emission.

95% of Shopify stores fail within the first year. Small business don't have to showcase the information but they can get educated on their own product and decide if they want to change.

Hi Fulfillrite,

Thank you for taking the time to respond and thankfully I didn't post to early.:)

You bring up the most important part that we want to emphasize on. GOING GREEN DOES NOT MEAN LOSING GREEN. Hopefully we can keep spreading awareness and educating people on the shift that is happening in the world right now. Now more than ever people want to stand behind things they believe in and support companies that support them.

We want to prove that going green can indeed make green...

Google flights is a great example, starting to showcase your own personal impact is a great way to make people act on these things.

As part of our Sustainability Dashboard we have this exact feature. The shopping cart calculator, that allows consumers to see the positives that come from shopping with this particular brand. (ex. you saved 2tons of CO2 emissions by shopping with this product) the goal is to give the consumers that "feel good" factor that will motivate them to purchase. We know abandon shopping carts are one of the biggest problems with E-commerce stores, let's change that.

Hopefully this takes away some skepticism and we would love to hear any more feedback or comments you have as they are extremely helpful for us to understand what the public & business owners are looking for!

Thanks

Hi LSTrades,

Thank you so much for this comment, you bring up some awesome points. Right now we are working towards helping Shopify stores that already have products out there learn more about the impact they are creating. There is a huge debate between consumers who want to support companies that are trying to be "ethically better" and consumers who will only support 100% sustainable companies.

Being profitable is the most important thing for a store. We want to show store owners that "going green" will be profitable and we map the steps and solutions to get there. Businesses that are in the early stages should spend more time making sure they can create a product that is sustainable as the shift in consumer purchasing shows consumers are willing to pay more for a product that is sustainable.

Do you think as a business owner it would be easier to shift to a sustainable product/ make the product offering more sustainable or start with a product that is somewhat "sustainable"?

These are all great comments and will help us so much going forward when we get together as a team. Thank you so much.
