x100. If you could buy food for friends, that would be a greaaat way to get them involved. No one wants to gift cats because there's not a good way to gift food with them. Friends rarely want the starters. They want your 'cute' cats. If you can give them the cat you just bred out that they fell for PLUS a month of food, then you expand your customer base enormously. It's got to be worth the time and effort to your staff to implement this.
PLUS....you could greatly increase revenues from vitamin sales if people didn't have to go anywhere to get them, particularly when love drops are released. If people could buy that 1% without going anywhere...you could ensure massive sales of that. Vitamins are all about convenience to begin with, and if you gave them the added convenience of the marketplace, that would remove one of the last hurdles in breeders' minds about buying them. Once they're on marketplace, the only remaining question is price, and with the impulse buyability of marketplace...a lot of them will have it in cart and checking out before they think twice.
Oh I so agree... I never would run to the store for that last 1% ever but put that ability on the market place and bam I would sooo buy it!
And also yes I would love to gift kitties with food and would love the option of being able to do it though the market place or even with a gift card!
