I will PERSONALLY guarantee you WILL NEVER be without those flavors! I don't care if they're retired! I will make them and if you smile pretty even hand deliver :)

Aww! thanks :)

I'm more less on track to order the required 30 ml/month anyway. i think both were on the deejstuff shopping list i made this morning :D

I'm also thinking on adding a Top 25 Flavors category. I'm finding more and more things I can automate/control on the back end. Having a detailed sales report (which ZenCart does NOT provide) has given us a LOT of insight into things we can.

Anything that makes it easier for you. It is especially good to know what is and isn't selling so that you can make room for the new stuff that you design.

I was going to start my own juice line, but, we decided to go with Sybil's Corner. That category will only have my recipes in it-which, in my opinion, are amazingly good. They are VERY different than Deej's though :)

have you looked into opencart? I use it but i haven't really played with it much....i just needed a quick download only cart and they were the only ones that i found that had that feature for free :D

I have... way back in the long ago, opencart was an option, but it wouldn't do all the things I needed it to do.

I've been looking at Modelo recently, too.

Biggest bugaboo is the look & feel. Maybe it's a nothingburger. But if it isn't, where am I going to pull the time to do the modifications, testing and then do the cutover. Not complaining at all... those are concerns.

Also, transferring the customers, orders and the entire product catalog. Yeah, there's software that claims it'll do that, but nothing I've seen tells me passwords will get transferred over. That's another concern.

Seriously, I'm looking hard at new software... :)

Yeah, no matter what you end up using... I am sure a few of us here can help you get insight from the available data... especially if you have general analytics as well. I do a lot of data manipulation via custom software. You might be surprised the crazy stuff that turns up once you have enough data... stuff like certain flavor profiles selling better on certain days of the week... months of the year, etc.

You should see what Mr. Code Monkey has accomplished with regards to that ;)

We would love to keep the flavors, but, it is killing us as far as attracting new business. Which we have got to do-our shipping is so slow because we simply don't get the order volume to order thousands of bottles from China (for example) and other things to always have supplies on hand. We're in a terrible Catch 22..........our horrible shipping speed is destroying our business and we don't get orders. We can't get supplies and ship without getting orders. It's very much like a dog chasing its tail :(.

What many don't realize is the reason we did the Gofund me is because someone offered us a loan to lay in stock for business and add about a grand for postage-that fell through. We signed paperwork, etc and the person simply disappeared-no word why, nothing. It was devastating to us-emotionally and financially. I truly believe if we can just catch a break we can rebuild this business and make it better than ever. I've even looked at getting an equity loan, but, this business is too up and down to risk losing our home for.

We will come back, somehow :). I NEVER lose faith or hope :)
