Point of Sale for all bike shops, NBDA and PeopleForBikes podcasts, Google Merchant Center alignment

Around the Workstand

It’s still us! Same company, same team members - just a new name to match our growing capabilities. We've gotten some questions that suggest we weren't as clear as we could be about what changed and what didn't.

• Our Point of Sale offering is aimed at stores with no POS solution or with an outdated system. It’ll certainly expand quickly over time but for the many stores with no or a poor POS system, get in touch with us now!
• Ryan has been out and about talking about our evolution as a company and our new POS features. You can see more of that in the NBDA podcast and the two-part PeopleForBikes, Inside the Outdoors podcast (Part 1 and Part 2) that Ryan was recently a guest on.
• Upcoming guest reminders
  • Alex Slocum - ever wonder what it takes to build a software application like Workstand? Alex knows exactly what it takes and will tell us all about it and the path he’s been on as we develop our Point of Sale offering.
  • Lauren Webb - you know about the websites and POS products but did you know Workstand is also a full-service marketing agency? Lauren is our agency director and she’ll give us some strategies and tactics to win at holiday marketing this year. We do this type of work for more than 400 Workstand merchants.
• Tech Tip: Discounts - we’ve talked a lot about the sales that brands have been having and we’ve started talking about holiday sales already too. If you’re planning to offer promotions, now is a good time to take a look at our discounts tool as it has changed since last year. The help center walks through using both automatic discounts and discount codes and both are very useful tools for promotions. Side note: be sure to adjust your Google Merchant Center settings if any of your promos will affect your paid ads and if any of your holiday promos include changes to your shipping methods and rules.
