Congrats!  I think your activity on this site may have put you in the spotlight.  The Tulsa World probably pays attention to what people say here.

Having the media lurk on our site is a good thing. We have good posters who can back up their beliefs and are willing to share inside knowledge of what is happening.

Oh, then there is inteller...

Congrts!  I think it's a great idea.  As a fulltime working mom of two, I am constantly needing something and dont have time to run errands.  I'll keep your link around.  Good luck!

Good luck and best wishes to ya.[8D] And keep us posted on how things are going and what happens.  The website is looking good, lots of options.  Question though, didnt find a place where you could ask for "regular, automatic delivery".  Say I know every 2 weeks I need the same items, cerial, milk, cat food, etc. Then once a month I need toothpaste, laundry detergent... It may be nice to have your regular needs delivered on certain dates automatically. You have an account that lists each item for that customer and then on the second week of the month deliver certain items. First week of the month another. Also have that list available for the customer to tweak, add an item, subtract an item. Change the delivery date if they are out of town perhaps...

It could help you know that you definitely have a delivery of such and such amount on this day to this address on a regular basis. And the client wouldnt really have to worry about groceries at all. They just show up at the appropriate time without any bother and not have to reorder.

Just an idea if you dont already have it.

Subscription service is a good idea. Amazon is pushing it right now. It would also be a lot less work on you.

Congratulations - and a couple of thoughts.

Your hotel page is really cluttered.  I know you make money on those click through ads, but how much will you lose by people being aggravated by them?

I suspect you will lose far more by keeping those ads.

And what is up with only listing those few hotels as places you deliver?  Would you not deliver to any hotel in your service area?

And to really develop your hotel trade, visit in the evenings - talk to the desk clerks.  Remember, the pizza places always have a free pizza for the desk clerks who refer business to them.
