Hey Hey Jonathan! My husband and I own a stationery shop in Georgetown, but we know your place well. We've stayed in that hotel and had brunch there many many times.

Hi!  I'm Jen Schaefer. I am independent consultant with Paparazzi Accessories. I sell our products through www.3SeaQueens.com, a square site. It works great for my customers & is a tremendous help keeping track of our thousands of unique inventory. I joined this group to learn how to better serve my customers & teach my team how to use Square more efficiently & effectively.

Hi Jen. I'm Joy Overton. I am a Paparazzi Accessories consultant too. I use square too.

Hello everyone! We have a small plant & gift shop at the Jersey Shore called Tiny Greenhouse. 🌱 

Looking forward to connecting with everyone + if anyone needs any houseplant tips check out our website www.tinygreenhouse.com.

We use square for just about everything. Right now we don't have e-commerce. I'd lose my mind (more-so than usual) doing both right now. Props to those who have brick & mortar + e-commerce, you're killin' it.

If anyone wants to connect on Instagram as well for engagement/networking let us know or follow us @Tiny_greenhouse.

Thanks Elisabeth for hosting us!

Thanks for allowing me to join the group.
I run an onlinewaterproofingshop, which basically sells waterproofing and repair products that will increase the longevity of your building.
Hopefully this may help automate the site a little more 😊

Hello everyone.

Developing algorithms for online trading has been my hobby for few years - which is successfully turning into business. Time and brain are the only investments I have done to start this though have been working in the background for years and building reputation in the field, gaining knowledge, collaborating with other users etc.

Few months since officially launched and so far it is keeping me completely busy. Was managing with weebly free plan so far. But, decided to go for premium plan recently. 

Please feel free to go through https://www.trendoscope.com.au if anyone interested. 

Regards,

Hi all,

My name is Dianna Marie owner & founder of Remree's Bling's & Thing's an accessory company that offers specialty handcrafted accessories & craft classes to anyone looking to learn about stones & gain new skills. We cater to the accessory junkies & consumers who are seeking to transform their sense of style to Wow! I started my business in 2012 which is the year I started using Square.. I went from doing home events inviting other small businesses, to Pop-ups, to online, to big Festival which I continue to do, & into partnership opening a brick in mortar in Chicago in the heart of Bronzeville in 2016. My background is retail so I decided to take many business classes in retail for operating a brick and mortar. So I started RBT CONSULTING where I coach other small businesses helping from marketing, getting capital, utilizing social media & more to help sell their product.

Thank you for the invite! I own HeartSong Recovery, an online retail specialty store. I also sell at private events. My business started out in 2006 as a brick and mortar metaphysical bookstore. HeartSong later morphed into a "traveling recovery store" supplying merchandise for events. This led to an online presence with Square and Ebay, which continues to the present day. Some products I make, some I resell. I look forward to learning more and growing more successful in my business.

Again, Thank You!

Hi Syndi, your business sounds very interesting, I;d love to learn more about it, Can you share your website, please?

[Thevioletfox]

Hi everyone! Happy to be part of this new group!

My name is Emily and I run The Violet Fox Bookshop. I'm based in Virginia Beach, VA, but the bookshop is online so we ship books all over the country.  We're making baby steps towards transitioning to a physical brick & mortar space, which is equal parts stressful and exciting!  We occasionally do pop-ups and events in the area as well. We stock mostly second-hand books, but also carry local authors books on consignment, can special order new books for our customers, and have recently joined Bookshop.org's affiliate program. We're trying a little of everything these days so very much looking forward to learning from you all here and sharing ideas! 🙂
