"The future of commerce—competition is getting fierce, and it’s global now. As a retailer, you need to stand out. You need to move fast, and I think you have to be customer service-focused. You need to try and stand out in the crowd and offer the customer the best experience you can."
"The new possibilities opened up by Shopify's powerful dashboard allowed us to change the way we see online sales as a company. It’s a mindset shift that digital innovations such as Shopify make possible."
"Even at the start, Shopify Plus made it easy to test the water without any huge investment. As we grow and upscale the competition, it allows us to be lean, fast, smart, and innovative."
"I love working with Shopify. You guys are just such an integral part of our team."
"Everyone has a story, and we should support one another better than we do."
“Networking through social media just isn’t the same as teaming up with neighbors to build a barn. If you ask an Amish farmer why they're successful, don't expect a lot of soul-searching or reflection on what they do right—the Amish will likely pin the praise on anyone else but themselves.”
"I was given an opportunity to visit one of the industry tradeshows that weekend. It was extremely busy, and this gave me the chance to help sell for my new designer friend. Shortly thereafter, I was asked to work all of the Atlanta and Las Vegas shows. This led to an intensifying desire to have my own line of accessories. With focus and hard work, my dream became reality and V.LU was born! "
“Equus really grew from a rant I had about a particularly disastrous trip to the tack shop. As a keen horse rider working full time, I was unable to find somewhere that sold the kind of quality equine clothing and equipment I wanted, AND could deliver it to me quickly and reliably.”
"I think shipping quickly and making sure to communicate and stay personal with my customers has been a huge factor as well."
"The most inspirational thing is to hear from people that I've inspired them to start working on projects they've been thinking of doing."
"I absolutely love my job and I owe so much of our success to Shopify. Thanks to this platform I can focus on my customers and growing the business."
"We have found that an online store is not so different from our physical boutiques and that there is now a blending of service."
"Do not let you talk yourself out of success. We do this by throwing in the towel, or letting fear of rejection/failure overcome us."
"Shopify has been a great resource for us. The backend system is wonderful and allows for tons of modifications to be made to suit your business needs. "
"Unlike our previous experience on other platforms, we have never had a problem of our site being slow or going down on our best-selling days. It is the simplest way of doing business online."
