[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 617450, member: 15473"] Fortunately for us it is an easy market to target. We live on a military base that is large but also has housing areas for certain ranks. IE: Upper ranking live in one housing area while lower ranking live in another. It would actually be quite easy to know how many households could potentially afford this. Plus we live in the upper ranking housing area so delivery would be less than a few blocks in most cases. The big issue being a upper ranking military wife is that many believe it is your job to stay home, support your Soldier, and volunteer/socialize until you fall down. I can tell you that on any given week I have approximately four events that I could attend and thats without even looking for them. Thankfully my husband's company doesn't do any of that but the wives clubs do a ton. Most of the events are either potluck, gift exchange, or individual pay. 90% of the events require you to bring an item. Plus it never fails that right about the time you take a breath your kid comes home and reminds you of those 4 dozen cupcakes for school or scouts. LOL Wives who work and or volunteer a lot get to the point of being unable to care for their own families because you are so busy. Something slips and there goes decent meals, cleaning house, or just spending any quality time with your kids. I know when I worked full time meals were the last thing on my mind when I got home. I was so exhausted from working, picking up after the kids, feeding the dogs, and everything else I didn't want to cook. I would have loved to have an option other than a frozen sodium heavy item from the grocery. My favorite thing ever was when we had our groceries delivered. I could go online reorder the normal things and add anything special then hit send and expect them to arrive. OMG was that amazing. The other good thing about these wives is that they have the money and the need so I think we could make it work. Of course we aren't planning on anything big just a small thing but it would be a fun way to make some money and still be flexible. [/QUOTE]
