Starting a Grocery Delivery Service Grocery Delivery: The Next Big Thing? In a word, I think so. Grocery delivery businesses are popping up all over the place online, with one or two major players taking the lead. And before you think that this is your standard, run-of-the-mill, Add-to-Cart entity, Id like to stop you. Thats what I thought at first too, until I did a little digging. What I found is quite intriguing to say the least. The nuts and bolts of these businesses are this: you sign up under one of the Big Players, and youre given your own website - complete with products and descriptions - that you are in control of. If youre wondering how local people can find your store, well, thats another bonus of this venture: the owners of the network do the marketing FOR you, complete with Google Keyword Analytics. I mentioned Big Players earlier, and I wasnt joking; there are some strong internet-marketing campaigns behind these grocery guys, and it appears that youre dealing with some of the best in the business. (Do a Google search for grocery delivery and see what you find.) So now you have the site, its up and running, and your name is out there. At this point, you are your own boss, and its your store. Q: Whats next? A: Get ready for orders to start coming in. From what Ive seen, it wont take long for the orders to start. Remember, you are now part of a large grocery delivery network; youre not just a tiny little site trying to make it on its own. Ive seen some of the numbers that a couple of these rock-solid networks have amassed in the last year, and if anyone tries to tell you that online stores arent thriving anymore, well, theyre just wrong. Some are, and some arent. But were all still eating, and well all getting busier and busier. Grocery delivery as an American mainstay is just around the corner. So in conclusion, if youre looking to start your own business but just dont know how to do it or what to do (and you know how to put in a good days work), I recommend contacting the Big Dogs of grocery delivery, starting your own store, and getting to it.
