I feel better going beyond the holiday season to have the online shopping available for customers who want to purchase meat and blankets even though I don’t see them at the weekly markets. Local customers can put in a cc order online and we can work out the delivery/pick up of the product by the time the order clears the bank. Now when I get email and phone inquiries, I can refer them to the website to follow up with their order. I add custom products for special order requests. I can leave return messages with would-be customers that enable to complete their transaction on line without having to play phone tag. It helps me close the sale on what were just inquiries in the past.

So, I am saying thank you so much for making this possible for me. It is a whole new way of doing business that works extremely well for me. It gives me the flexibility I need as a small business to process orders online, track them, and accept credit card payments. It is also very easy to handle special requests. I am able to quickly integrate the new technology for order processing and customer communication into my business flow. It helps me handle my customers with a level of professionalism that a small family farm rarely is able to deliver.”
