There are several ways to transfer your buying habits. But most people do not because of shipping cost.
For me, Here is what I do, and what I encourage my PSAs to do.
1. I am an american living in Thailand. I have parents in the USA, siblings, and children. My wife and I send them all gifts for holidays, mother's day and birthdays through tripleclicks. No matter what we send we will need to ship it. So TripleClicks has saved me on several occasions providing an easy way to show my extended family I still love them and think of them.
2. Locate fellow SFIers in A2A who live in your area, even your city. Then set up a co-op using TripleClicks. For example, I eat beans (dried beans) and I buy beans at the supermarket for 2.00 a pound but if I buy 10 pounds I get them for 1.00 a pound. I open an ECA, sell beans (ship locally only) I sell in 2 pound packs for 4.00. To the buyer it is = to the supermarket price, to the seller is a small profit. But more importantly, the buyer is getting VP. Now the buyer does the same thing with another common, local product and the bean seller buys from him. Do this with say 5 to 10 people and every month you buy 5 to 10 products for the local price. No one gets rich selling but we are all making EA status by buying from one another rather than the supermarket. and Bulk buying makes it possible.
You could do the same with all kinds of offerings, not just food.
For more ideas on co-oping google business cooperatives.
3. Recruit new ECAs to your SFI business from whom you would buy products. Tell them how to list a product that is "pick-up". Buy the product on TripleClicks and then walk down to your local store and Pick it up. You could bring 10.00 to that store and buy your product or you can pay 10.00 on tripleclicks, get VP, get your ECA commission, and walk to the store and get your products.
Working together to succeed as one.
