The Good Word
We are always trying to tell more and more folks about the mission of Family Dinner. That we want to bring you the highest quality, best tasting local food around and use data and predictive analytics to eliminate waste in the system and give small family farms the chance to compete at a larger scale. (Insert Family Dinner cheerleading emoji here.)
So many of you have joined us, picking up your megaphones and sharing this service with your friends and family. We are so, so grateful. The currency of word of mouth referrals is the sharpest arrow in any small business' quiver.
Now we would love to broaden the target and find way to serve the amazingly diverse communities, groups and workplaces that you are a part of. We would love to have you help us share the good news once again and we want to reward you for sharing the love.
If you belong to a local synagogue, PTA, juggling group, book club, Miming studio or other collective of like-minded folks who you think would benefit from enjoying local food from Family Dinner - Let Us Know! We believe in the power and importance of local food and are excited to share it with more and more people.
If you would be willing to post to that crew's Slack, FB, or carrier pigeon network and share a bit of information- we would give you a specific discount code that makes Family Dinner 50% off for their first share. We would also give you a free share and/or some fresh Family Dinner swag. (The hoodies are hot off the presses. I can attest that they pair extremely well with drinking wine and ignoring social engagements.) Free shares or swag not your thing? You prefer compensation in bags of Jaju Pierogi or Forge brownies? We see you, and we got you.
So if you want to share with your broader community:
1. Shoot us an email hello@sharefamilydinner.com telling us about the group(s) you would like to share with.
2. We'll send you a quick blurb on us and a create a discount specific to your crew(s).
3. You share with you folks, we get the chance to bring them the best local food around and also to make sure your next share is on us.
Pro Tip!
This works for offices too! If you think your workplace would benefit from a local food partnership, we would love, love, love to talk to your HR rep, Wellness Coordinator/Benefits Guru.
Please let us know if you have any questions; hello@sharefamilydinner.com.
As always, thank you.
Much love,
Erin, Tim and the Family Dinner Fam
