Partner Tiering for Diaper Banks

[joshuacgraves]

During our first stakeholder meeting on Tuesday 12/15/2020 with users of the Diaper application, a couple of different stakeholders mentioned that they had started or were looking into creating tiers for their partner agencies.

For Example:
Gold = Strong partner and participant, is involved with marketing diaper drives, high level of communication
Silver = Strong partner, orders frequently, in communication but doesn't necessarily get involved with helping the Diaper Banks
Bronze = Only orders, maybe only orders one type of item, not great with communication, relationship is basically transactional

The stakeholders thought the Diaper app could help them keep track of these tiers and build them using distribution and diaper drive data. If the stakeholders had a better handle on partner participation levels, some have many partners and they can't keep track, it could help the Diaper Banks cultivate stronger partnerships and communicate how the Diaper Bank's needs and the Partner's needs go hand in hand. The stakeholders felt that partners could really help them with securing more inventory through marketing, networking and fundraising.

Any comments at all or about this in terms of if it's been discussed before or how it might work or if it fits into a bigger strategy are greatly appreciated. Thanks
