Sharing Queal is caring ❤

I happened to offer a random internet stranger Queal, but delivering on such a promise can be a bit inefficient with postage etc. Optimally, there'd be a market where you can ask someone to drop a safely sealed bag in someone's mailbox and tip them a bag and a half or so through a payment to the queal webstore system, ready for their next order. The idea being that together we can beat the postal system (on price, and for deliveries in Sweden - possibly also on reliability and snappiness...) and with more people discovering Queal, us "veterans" will be able to try out more new tastes and likely also better bulk pricing. And with wide enough spread, some stores closer to you might start carrying Queal, for when you're just one taste short of a full cabinet (or carton box...)

Hey Simon,

Thank you for starting this topic! I'm not sure if I do understand correctly what you're trying to say.
First of all, great to hear you've sent Queal to someone you don't know. I hope he/she liked it!

Actually, we're currently running a feedback question on the dashboard about 'Queal gift packages' you can send to friends, family or others without paying shipping costs. It would be a pack of 3 bags, a shaker, scoop, and booklet. Would you be interested in something like this/is this something you were thinking of?

Please let me know

Heh - I see where you're coming from, since I guess in the Netherlands you can't imagine a postal service that is both expensive and not really functional. European companies needing to send small packages (books) usually put their logistics in Queal country. Swedish postal order companies might save 30-70% of postal costs sending from Netherlands to Sweden, than Sweden to Sweden. Sad fact.

on gift packages.

In open source circles, there has been a tradition of plopping things like burned Linux installation CD:s in people's mailboxes. But basically I'm looking for ways to allow more people to try Queal that I think could need it. I've sent (Swished) money to an over-the-net collegue of a friend once who wanted to buy soft drinks in exchange for helping with a project, and now I thought it could be a double whammy to actually get people queal or Go bars (unless their mailbox is in a warm and sunny location) instead. The cheaper the sharing becomes, the more I can share with.

Right! The "Gift some Queal" is a very attractive solution. I just remembered - it probably also integrates with the dashboard statistics and comparing with friends? In my previous office we'd mix queal and have a social moment drink-eating together, saving time and avoiding food coma, then use some of that saved time in the afternoon getting some fresh air. I'm trying to come up with "hooks" on how to stimulate this also in my current workplace.

Any stories of hooking workplace collegues on Queal? The trick might be about presentation. My best bet now is getting some of rebranded bags and make a blind test with the most change-able collegues for a start, but any other ideas are also welcome. Fixing the world, one workplace at a time...
