Organize by categories customers understand
With so many products, categories are key. Think like the buyer, not like your storeroom.
Start with your highest-turnover categories and expand over time.
- Staples: rice, beans, oil, sugar
- Dairy and eggs
- Drinks and snacks
- Home cleaning
- Personal care
- Fruits and vegetables
Don't try to upload everything at once
Start with the 50 to 100 products you sell most. They cover most orders. Then add more each week.
A small but up-to-date catalog beats a huge one with old prices.
Keep prices and availability current
In groceries prices change and ordering something out of stock is very frustrating. Mark unavailable products as out of stock and update prices when they change.
Set a fixed day each week to review the catalog against your purchase list.
Define how orders and deliveries work
Clarify your delivery zones, shipping cost or minimum order, and hours. Put this information in your catalog and profile to avoid repeated questions.
Offer cash on delivery, bank transfer or whichever method you use, and state clearly which you accept.
Make the most of your regulars
Your long-time customers are your biggest advantage. Share the catalog link on WhatsApp and ask them to save it. Over time many will prefer placing their weekly order from there, and you prepare everything in advance.
A digital catalog doesn't replace neighborhood service, it complements it. It saves you calls, organizes your orders and gives your customers convenience.
Start with your 50 best sellers and share the link with your neighbors this week.
