Conclusions – WIP
Overview
LiteFarm has shared that based on the above analysis: “I liked Ethical Swag. Drop shipping seems like a better option for our volume and having a partner that aligns with our values is important. I'm OK with paying a slight premium for those two qualities”
So as further analysis I will find a few more options in the same category as Ethical Swag since they may be more than a slight premium. Then will defer for the final selection so that we can kick off a design/feedback session then to request samples of the chosen company.
