About a decade ago I found a new startup operating out of my city in the coffee industry and I thought their idea was really innovative so I subscribed and also offered a couple free pieces of tech advice about their website. I came back around to their website today to see if they were still in business and what they were up to, and I discovered that they've leveraged their resale system as a product and it's available for other businesses to use. I am in no way affiliated with this company and get nothing from this post. Here's their partner website: Bottomless - Partners Page
Basically their original business model was to ship fresh roasted coffee advertising that you'll never run out. Their system was to create a 3d printed wi-fi enabled scale that reports weight measurements once every day or two to their website, and based on an algorithm they created, the website would automatically trigger a new order based on your subscription preferences and often I'd get a new bag of coffee before my previous one (that was sitting on the scale) ran out.
This opportunity looks like if you have a product you sell direct to your customers, you can use this scale based business model by partnering with bottomless to deliver resales. I'm starting to think of how I might apply this to my cosmetics business as I scale it up. It's an intriguing option for sales outside of in person marketing or using amazon.
