How to organize your sales
Hi. I am a new business owner, about two years professionally now. I had my first "real" christmas season last year and just about went crazy.
I got calls from wholesalers, retailers and random internet orders and tried to fulfill those while not losing them, or mixing them with other orders.
With my pretzel business I have over 50 flavors, two different gift box sizes, and the ability to custom print a note card and/or a personalized label on the pretzel. And, people can pick them up or have them delivered to themselves, or to a different address.
What can I do, what software can I use to make this go more smoothly? I do use quickbooks for accounting, can this be used as a point of sale thing?
since i work from home mostly, and just make the pretzels elsewhere, I usually just grab a piece of paper to write down the order and try not to misplace it. i did create an order form, but they just seemed to never be where I needed them.
any ideas that can save my sanity? i'm doing my research early so to not have the same issue this holiday season. thanks for any input!!!
