Hey, it’s Jen, co-founder of Roots HQ. I run a small product business too, so I know one new item means more than adding a photo and a price. There’s getting it listed, letting customers know about it, handling the sale, getting the order to them, and figuring out how it did. Let’s follow one product through Willow & Fern, our fictional demo shop. We start by adding the item and its details. Then we make it available online, at event, or both. Once it’s listed, customers can find it in the storefront, and we have a page we can share. When a sale comes in, we can see what needs to happen next. Shipping, pickup, local delivery, or an event sale. Afterwards, reports help us see what sold and where the sale came from. That’s Roots HQ, one workspace for the work around selling, whether you sell online, events, or both. We’re inviting vendors to apply for the beta. Take a look around and tell us what would make Roots HQ useful for your business.
