RE: Lease in Hand!! - My Journey to Opening a Store
@gomatthew are you on discord? Might have a few questions for you for sure. Also would like to take a look at your website to see what their platform allows for. A lot of my starting inventory is vintage toys and back issues/out of print stuff on the comic side so if it's working for your vintage items I'd bet it would work for me.
I love running into things at yard sales. Have found some of my best shipping supplies there...filled my entire 7 passenger suv with large bags of packing peanuts once for $10. Currently have a few thousand bubble mailers from one that I got for $15. Never know what you will find when you are driving around.
Dang.. I wish Steemit would give me pop up notifications.. sorry, just now seeing this. Right now we're doing a redesign on the website, but it's vintagetn.com. But they've got amazing tutorial videos:
Without using GINA I'd never keep up on replies to me and more important to mentions about me when someone tags me. What I used to do before I started using GINA was to look at my replies tab every day when I first logged in...it worked, but zero question getting notices is better.
I'm looking into some industry specific customer management software right now that is designed to manage subscriptions. This software is working on developing a POS system also, but isn't there yet. Their comic subscription software is great but without the POS it's a hard decision to go with them. The other one has it all, but none of it is great. Upside is they are also the supplier of the comics so their data is dead on and updated all day vs everyone has to use data feeds from them that update only daily. So many little details to think about...annoying for sure.
My last option is to go with the KISS approach and not pay for any software the first few months and see how things go. Then make some choices on these items once I'm up and running. Just know that customers hate change and once running I very easily can get to busy to actually implement new software.
Will look into the website info you gave there. Watched the first video and it looks very simple to work with.
