Build a network of regular customers and clients
SaveNeighbor helps delivery workers and neighborhood helpers create direct, lasting connections with customers, restaurants, and people in the communities they choose to serve.
Build a local reputation and service all the delivery needs in an area of your choice.
Who should you invite?
Start with people and businesses that already know your work:
- Customers you have delivered to more than once
- Customers who have complimented your service
- People in apartment or office buildings you regularly visit
- Local restaurant owners and employees
- Friends, family members, and neighbors
- People who frequently need pickups or errands
- Businesses located along routes you already travel
Every connection can become part of a client base you can continue serving over time.
Turn one good delivery into a lasting connection
If you already make deliveries, let customers know they can connect with you on SaveNeighbor.
You might say:
“If you ever want to request me directly for a delivery, you can add me on SaveNeighbor. You can get deliveries for no fees.”
“Did you know you can get your delivery for no fees? Connect with me on SaveNeighbor and I’ll deliver for you for just a tip.”
Focus on places where you already have relationships
A group of customers near your usual route may create a predictable area of demand.
- One person in an office may introduce you to others on the same floor.
- A customer in an apartment building may refer you to neighbors.
- One restaurant connection may lead to regular delivery requests from the same block.
Join a restaurant network
Connect with restaurant SaveNeighbor networks. Receive regular delivery requests from their customers.
Connect with multiple restaurants in the area of your choice, and never travel outside of their delivery zone.
If they don’t have a SaveNeighbor network, invite them. Restaurants do not pay commissions for deliveries made through SaveNeighbor, and they do not need to hire a full-time delivery staff.
When speaking with a restaurant owner or manager, try:
“SaveNeighbor lets restaurants build their own delivery network. Your customers order for pickup directly from you. Then they send a delivery person from their own network, or request one from your network. I’d be happy to connect and deliver for your restaurant when I’m available.”
Ask for introductions
A trusted customer or restaurant can help you meet more people nearby.
Try asking:
“If anyone else in the building needs a dependable delivery person, feel free to share my SaveNeighbor link.”
“If another restaurant on the block needs occasional delivery help, you can send them my invite link.”
Referrals are especially valuable because the new connection already has a reason to trust you.
Share your invite link everywhere it makes sense
You can send your link through:
- Text messages
- Neighborhood or building group chats
- Restaurant staff chats
- Printed QR codes
- Social media profiles
Use your QR code when speaking to someone in person so they can connect before the conversation ends.
Build a network that creates repeat work
A strong delivery network is built one relationship at a time.
Provide reliable service, stay connected with the people who value your work, and invite them to request you again. Over time, those connections can become regular customers, repeat routes, restaurant partnerships, and a more predictable source of local work.
- Build a list of regular customers
- Receive direct requests
- Keep control over which jobs you accept
- Work in neighborhoods or communities you prefer
- Develop more predictable routes and relationships
- Keep 100% of the amount offered to you through the request
