High Street AppsBy Ethan · UK

Farm shops, PYO and veg box schemesAn app for your farm shop.

Let customers know the moment the strawberries are ready, take Christmas turkey orders without a phone queue, and run your veg box scheme from one app with your farm's name on it.

What it does

What your customers could do.

Every app is built around your business, so this is a starting point. Your free concept shows the version that fits you.

What's in season, today

Show what's on the shelves and in the fields, so a trip out is never wasted.

Pick your own alerts

A push message the day the strawberries, pumpkins or sunflowers open, which is when you most need people to come.

Veg boxes and pre-orders

Weekly boxes, butchery orders and Christmas pre-orders with a collection slot, without the phone ringing all day.

A loyalty card for regulars

Points or stamps in the app, so weekly shoppers feel looked after and come to you before the supermarket.

Café, events and the farm itself

Opening times, the café menu, seasonal events and directions down the lane, all in one place.

Easy to keep up to date

It runs from the same content as your website, so busy weeks don't mean updating two places.

Questions

Things people ask.

Can it take Christmas orders?

Yes. Customers choose what they want and a collection slot. On Standard they reserve and pay as they do now; on Custom they can pay in the app.

We're a small team. Who keeps it updated?

It reads from your website, so there's usually nothing extra to do. Upkeep covers small changes when you'd rather hand them over.

Is it worth it for a seasonal business?

Seasonal is where push messages earn their keep: they bring people back for each new crop, not just once a year.

Does it need good signal?

Key information like opening times and directions is saved on the phone, so it still works down a lane with patchy signal.
