Integrating with Market Systems

Sales and Distribution

Most businesses generate revenue through multiple channels: direct sales to individual customers, automated market orders, vending machine sales, and service fees. Diversifying sales channels provides income stability and reaches different customer segments.

Vending machines offer 24/7 sales capability for consumable products, generating income even when you're not actively managing the business. Stock machines with items that community members purchase regularly, focusing on convenience and accessibility.

Market orders enable automated trading relationships with other businesses and players. Set up buy orders to secure reliable supply sources and sell orders to distribute your products efficiently without manual transaction management.

Competitive Positioning

Understand your business's unique strengths and how they differentiate you from other options available to customers. This might be superior location, better prices, higher quality, unique products, or exceptional service.

Monitor what other businesses in your society offer and identify opportunities to provide value that others don't. Sometimes this means competing directly on price or quality, while other times it means finding underserved market segments.
