Healthy eating has become a big trend in recent years.
56% of consumers have said that they are willing to pay more for a truly healthy product. One of the most popular ways to consume fresh, nutritious snacks,
has been through juicing;
Did you know in fact, every year the demand for freshly squeezed juice increases by 5% and orange juice remains the favourite with 46% of world consumption?

In the UK, Zumex juice machines can be obtained through OJ Fresh, who have been recognized as a leading player in the UK juicing industry for over 20 years supplying juicing machines to squeeze & press almost any type of fruit or vegetable. Through OJ Fresh, Zumex presents new design possibilities for juice services - possibilities to suit each space and maximize profits. 

​The best juicers give consumers a healthy 100% fresh drink and give businesses the opportunity to multiply their profits. The needs of each business vary depending on the volume of users and the daily demand for juice, or the integration of juicing technology among other factors. 
OJ Fresh can advise on all your needs to meet your demands.

​We have been speaking to many of our recent farm shop customers and, with the introduction of the latest Zumex Self Service juicer, sales have really taken off, without affecting the rest of their business.

Smiths Farm Shop in Northamptonshire says:
​ " Just 28 days in and it has tripled sales of fresh orange. The kids love to watch"

The Lambing Shed Farm Shop and Café in Cheshire says:
"The new juice machine has been such a hit with customers, people keep coming back for more, what a fab addition."
So impressed, they even named the orange juice machine Orla, as she is always working her juicy magic!

That’s a very good question, and opinions strongly differ, but one thing we can
probably all agree on is that change is upon us right now, and things won’t be back to
normal for a long time yet.

Social distancing is already becoming the new norm and retail has had to change, even
if only for the short to medium term.
So how are businesses adapting to the new challenges they face?

​As a retail solutions provider to the small, independent sector we deal quite actively
with small rural businesses. There’s certainly a lot of uncertainty about and a lot of
questions being asked, but as always, technology offers a multitude of options. And the
recent pandemic isn’t the only reason why retailers should be looking at the way they
do business.

A lot of people we speak to don’t appreciate what opportunities there are out there for
increasing revenue and routes to market. Perhaps surprisingly (at least to us as a
technology provider), a lot of people we speak to still don’t even have a website that
they can do business through. The most cited reason why not is cost, second to that is
complexity – where do you start?

And I can understand why – when your interest is in growing or selling produce, you
won’t necessarily be an expert in ecommerce, nor have the time or patience for it. One
of the issues many people have with IT and technology is the pace with which it
moves; even having an interest in the industry it can be hard to keep up with it all!
​And that’s where we come in.

​
​This is where our new Deliverappy smartphone app comes in, as just one example of
how we’re helping the sector to adapt.

​Registering as a retailer lets you sell your goods and produce through the app with the
minimal of effort – just add your products, snap a picture and set your prices.
Customers find your store on the app, order and pay – you receive the order, pick pack
and deliver!
​
​And it’s not just deliveries – you can also use the app for click & collect too (or instead)
and those that operate an onsite café or eatery might be pleased to know that the app
also supports table orders.
​
For those wanting to dip their toe in ecommerce but without the expense, Deliverappy
is a cost effective way to do just that, with registration from only £95+VAT (compare
that to the cost of a website!) and no monthly charges. It’s simpler to operate than a
website and you do it all from your smartphone. There’s not even a need to have a PC
in the store if you don’t have one (nor broadband, so long as you have a mobile signal).
​​It’s paperless too, so a truly “green” solution.

​​
Deliverappy is all about supporting and promoting local businesses who work so hard to serve their local communities, and as a platform we want to do what we can to help
support this sector that is so often-times forgotten. Certainly as a platform we’ve got
big plans to work with rural associations and charities to help the sector adapt to what is now a changing world.
