Get inspired with the example of the Plateau Mont-Royal Skating Club
We met with Harriet, President of the Plateau Mont-Royal Skating Club, who agreed to talk about her online sale with Yapla.
The organization diversifies its sources of income through sales of items, mainly clothing, to club members. « We've been doing sales for a long time, but for the past few months, we've switched to online sales to limit cash exchanges and checkout errors. »
Harriet created and worked on her own online store on the association's website. She is constantly working to make the store and the photos of the items more attractive: « This is an important factor that can play on the desire to buy! »
« To create the store, I used the Data module, thanks to which I was able to create different sizes and manage the available number of items for each of my different products. »
Then, to better manage the orders as well as possible, the association maintains very low stocks of products. This system is necessary for items that will be personalized and avoids unsold items.
« Members place orders online, then if the requested item needs to be embroidered, we send it to our provider. Then we hand-deliver it to members when they come to the club.»
It is through primarily digital communication that members are kept informed of sales. A dedicated newsletter is sent to all members.
« I am preparing a special newsletter to propose the items as Christmas gift ideas. »
