A big project on Yarn Folk’s horizon is a website overhaul.
It seems like I just did that.
In reality, it was two and a half years ago. One of the lessons I’ve learned during the last several months is that I like being able to connect with farther-flung customers—you know, those of you I see a few times a year, but who can’t just hop in the car and be here in ten. And for those closer, you’ll be able to check whether I have something in stock if you have a great idea…in the middle of the night. Another lesson I’ve learned? Keeping even the modest percentage of my inventory listed online in sync with my point of sale is haaaarrrrrd when the two systems don’t have a shared language.
Luckily for me, the web designer who helped with my 2018 redesign has expanded her services to include a platform that will connect with my point of sale system. We don’t have the timeline locked in yet, but it’s a project that is near the top of my priority list. Online sales were critical to keeping the bills paid during the two full months Yarn Folk was closed to the public, and while I can’t say I loved being unceremoniously thrown into the deep end of the e-commerce pool, I’m glad to take what I learned and move forward!
