a big part of what people like about your deal is your openness
True.
And growing Mephisto gear is already a special club, open to anybody searching for quality.
Adding a "members only" club? Not sure about that.
Public grow journals are great to help new growers decide which of 30 Mephisto strains to grow.
Reserving info for the elite members? Not sure, but I understand the good intentions.
A special group of big seed buyers, with extra perks and privileges, hmmm...
Already some of that on AFN, not sure the good intentions balance the conflict of interest.
Loyalty programs. Aren't those really about collecting customer data. You get a free toaster and they get to profile, analyze and sell your shopping habits. Buying flavored condoms, must have a hot date.
Buying CBD strains, must have medical problems... cancel their insurance and mark them "do not hire"
A database of customer names, addresses, buying habits... is just begging to be hacked.
The address of big growing operations is valuable info. How solid is Mephisto internet security? Does Mephisto want to be in the data security business? It is a nightmare. If you have a data breach how would you know?
I'll just leave this here
