甜柿宅配行銷是一種透過流通業者將甜柿經由平面廣告文宣,直接販賣給消費者,並提供送貨到府服務,或是由農民直接在自宅、果園接受顧客以電話、傳真、網路等方式訂購產品,並提供送貨到府的配銷服務。相較於傳統農產品運銷通路中農民是價格接受者,隨著市場價格波動起伏不定,宅配行銷對生產者與消費者創造之優勢為1.減少中間商轉手次數,直接接觸消費者成為價格決定者,果農實得價格提高;2.多樣化的通路可供果農選擇,調節市場供貨量;3.有助於品牌形象建立,產品採收後,宅配業者快速送達消費者手中,產品新鮮度高;4.宅配業者有提供代收貨款服務,解決顧客匯款風險,及果農核對催收之收款問題。但因甜柿宅配近四年來才廣為果農採行,有許多問題尚待克服,為期提昇農民甜柿宅配行銷之能力,使生產者與消費者共蒙其利,建議未來之努力方向1.提升生產管理技術,強調果品㈵性;2.落實分級與品質管理;3.改善包裝設計;4.靈活運用促銷活動;5.選擇目標市場與掌握消費者習慣;6.共同配送降低成本。
