Hi Sellers,
This thread is for those of you who are experiencing winter weather conditions this week. As you likely already know, there’s a blizzard warning in effect tonight through Tuesday night for New York City and surrounding areas. With 1-2 feet of snow, high winds, and low temps expected, we wanted to give you a heads up as well as some tips.
As the blizzard approaches, a few things you can do to get your business ready (in addition to buying food, water, batteries and flashlights!):
- Charge your iPad, phone, and laptop.
- Consider picking up a MiFi so that you can stay connected even if your internet goes down.
- Enable offline payments - with Square you can take payments offline, and they’ll process automatically when your device regains connectivity.
- Send a message to your customers letting them know whether your hours will be changing during the storm.
Some additional resources for you:
If this blizzard is coming your way, are you planning to limit business hours or close altogether? What else do you do to get ready?
Stay warm and let us know you're safe! ☕️
