Hi all,
Rather than post a lot of stuff here, if you visit my Yelp site, you will learn quite a bit more. Just check out the "About the Business" section.

Hello, My name is Jeanette Owner of Creations of the Heart Art. I retired from the military after 20 years and I wanted to have my own business. I am also a retired ELL teacher after 19 years. I taught ELL, Spanish, and Art. I make personalized items for all occasions. Customer service is my passion. I love creating customized frames, and jewelry. I have been in business since 2012. I am a veteran small business owner. I am new to all of this online. I usually go to vending events in Mansfield, TX to sell my merchandise. you can find my videos or online products in two places. www.facebook.com/creationsoftheheartart and www.Creations-of-the-heart-Art.com
I love that Square has these communities because sometimes I have questions about so many things and I feel so alone. so I love to learn about other businesses out there where we can share and help each other. thank you for welcoming me to this group. Have a blessed day.
Hi Jeanette! Welcome to the group and thank you for taking the time to introduce yourself. What's your top customer service tip?

Hi Helen,
Thank you for the question. My top customer service tip is communication. Because I make all items at the point of order. I send pictures to my customers of how the progress is going and pictures of the finalized product, I also send pictures of the mailing label when I mail the purchases to them so they know what to look for in the mail. My customers send me a message when they receive their products and then they write their reviews on my page.
Jeanette
Great idea! I'm sure your customers are delighted to hear from you! Thanks for sharing that tip.
Hi Helen,
I couldn't agree more. Customer service is all about communication, the two coexist. Customers are a bit more understanding whenever there's is open communication.

Welcome @Jayslugs!
My number one customer service tip is let your customers be part of the process. for example. I make the personalized vintage clocks. I send my customers pictures while I make the clock and finally, I send them a reveal video building up their suspense. this actually works and they love the results. they are my customers and i treat them with respect and kindness. they love for you to listen o them speak., even if it has nothing to do with the product. be friends first, before selling and they will be repeat customers. I have been in customer service for over 25+ years and my relationship have proven tobe true and it works.
That is a great tip! That's a really great idea about the reveal videos too!
Bonjour et merci de votre accueil. Je suis nouvelle, et je viens d'ouvrir ma Friperie en ligne il y a à peine deux semaines environs, je n'ai pas encore commencé à vendre. Cependant, je publie le plus souvent possible sur les réseaux sociaux et j'ajoute quelques articles à tous les jours. Il faut dire que je travaille encore à temps partiel dans un autre domaine pour monétiser mon projet, et j'espère que je trouverai des réponses ou que je pourrai faire profiter de mon expérience à d'autres personnes qui veulent faire comme moi 🙂
Hello. My name is Carey and I am a seasoned business owner. Been self-employed more than 35 years, have owned nine different businesses. Currently working on purchasing our 10th. Never purchased a turn-key business, always opened my own, so this is a new experience. We have been in heating and air conditioning for nearly 25 years thanks to my husband's education and serious skills. I have owned several other independent businesses outside of our two businesses in this field. I've had a wide range of experiences - I've been a professional seamstress and designer and worked with several direct sales companies, as well as the two HVAC businesses, in addition to working jobs in between.
We live in Montana, US, have 6 kids and currently have 16 grandkids. We travel a lot and we're always busy. There's a lot going on in our world but one of my favorite things has always been to help someone else with a suggestion that I've learned from experience. I'm looking forward to see what questions are out there!
Thank you 🙂 And, that's awesome! Yes, we love our Big Sky State! What part of the state were you in? I hope you got to soak of some of our best weather!
The weather was lovely! I was in Whitefish but we spent a lot of time in Glacier National Park. It was incredible!
