Hi, fellow enthusiasts!
We'll be displaying in Quartzsite at Tyson Wells this winter, and are doing detail work; that is, sweating the details. Some things are straightforward, others obscure.
One of the most interesting questions is determining weights. How do other (experienced) Quartzsite dealers sell their wares?
By the pound or by the piece? Do you bring your scale, and get it certified in Arizona? Do you bother? What would you do?
I've had Verizon recommended to me as cell provider. I'm planning on using Squarup for accepting credit cards and will need a good 3G signal to do so. Any thoughts, opinions or reviews?
On the subject of Squareup, I'm not so concerned about the percentage they charge for their service, since I'm going to pay monthly service charges for a regular merchant account, and Squareup works from my iPhone, as simple as it gets. Perhaps as business grows we might explore other possibilities, but for Quartzsite it looks ideal, if we get a good 3G signal!
Besides, what can we complain if we can do 40-60% more business by accepting credit cards instead of just cash or check? even with checks, our bank offers instant check scan approvals.
Gotta love technology!
Anyways, this wasn't really meant to be soapbox time. We hope that you more experienced vendor/dealers can help a couple of newbies who want to build our business while offering great values to everyone. New amterial at good prices is good for all!
