Hip to be Square

Square reader is a debit and credit card reader, that now comes with tap. It connects to your phone through the headset jack and allows merchants to charge cards while on location. It also connects wirelessly to printers and cash registers, to generate receipts. But wait, there's more! Square software allows you to track employees and devices by minutes of up time. I bought, and registered, my Square device for $10.00 from our local computer shop. With a website, whose billing is Square compatable, Blastom.com has the potential to take its show on the road. I live quite close to City Hall park, and Queen's University. In the summer, the parks are filled with local busker entertainment, and no shortage of tourists with their cell phones at the ready. Much in the same way that a person might sit for a portrait, it's possible to have sittings to have your phone designed, or simply to sell wallpapers, bites and icons like the ice cream cart sells popsicles. Directing customers to the BLASTOM! website, a friendly customer service rep is there to guide them through creative selection and then the payment process, a simple cash, credit, debit or PauPal transaction. Because square software tracks employee information, remote events, where I can supervise remotly, becomes possible. In this way, being present simultaniously at multiple seasonal events is a realistic goal. This type of customer/ website interaction can be held at University events, like frosh week or Home Coming. Square also generates and accepts custom gift receipts, which the Wix site also supports. Buying a unique BLASTOM! gift card for friends for the holidays, or as a 'break-up, pick me up,' is completely possible. More than a fun unique way to interact with customers at times when they expect to spend, this type of idea also allows BLASTOM! to target our prime users and get first hand feedback on our products and oppinions on ease of access to them.
