I think that is very unfair. I've seen a lot of places around the country and where they've been doing well it is because they have catered for the needs of their customers and patrons, rather than their simply traded on being a vegan business.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2001 Report Share Posted June 1, 2001 Fairness doesn't really come into it. I reckon that a lot of vegan businesses don't even publicise that they are vegan because it makes no difference to their vegan clients (who are all off in Tescos/Cranks anyway), and would put off their mainstream clients. Yes: I am cynical. - Rob vegan-network, Mavreela <nec.lists@m...> wrote: > > >...a lot of veg*ns would rather go to a mainstream shop and > >seek out a product that just happened to be OK for them, rather than > >supporting somewhere that is more aligned with their ethics and > >actually designed to cater to them. > > I think that is very unfair.

I think you should open something with e-commerce (for example shop, or food delivery), vegans are best target in such case. It is difficult to go to shop and buy (usually many don't have time for such things) But when you seat in Internet, browsing, it's much easier to order on-line. Especially if you know that source you are buying from is vegan. Also if you'll be on-line shop with good reputation, other non veggie people will buy from you (just because you're a good) And I think it's cheaper to open this e-commerce than something ordinary. -------- Best regards, Sergio, CEO vegan http://www.royalwebhosting.com Royal Web Hosting - Royal Quality Hosting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
