It’s hard trying to find businesses in my tiny community that haven’t embraced the future.
I spent some time in NY City and was impressed to see small businesses with credit card swipers connected to their PCs.
But since my neighborhood is full of older folks, it’s respected for businesses to neglect making websites or upgrading their point of sale systems since the 1974s. You’re on your own if you want a solid referral to a local company that you don’t pass by on your way to work or while you’re running errands around town. I was surprised when my heating and cooling company revamped their entire website for the first time since they originally hosted it online around 20 years ago. Imagine seeing late 1990s web design transition into a new website literally overnight. Now you can schedule your repair and service appointments for your HVAC system on the heating and cooling company’s new website. This is great if you don’t have a lot of time to get on the iphone and stand on hold while waiting to speak with a person in the scheduling department. You also get an SMS verification to let you think when your appointment is scheduled, along with another SMS the afternoon before to remind you. Seeing this website revamp for my HVAC company is reassuring, and has me hoping that they are able to afford these swings because they’re doing so well in the first locale. It’s strenuous finding new corporations when old a singles close their doors or transfer to other cities. I hope that my heating and cooling company is here for the long term.
