Even He-Man likes to save time: raise a sword and voilà—instant wardrobe change.

A merchant can choose to set up an online store with 5,000 products in one hour or 120 days. The one-hour option costs $39/month, and the 120-day path costs $5,000 and about $41/month in maintenance. Which would you choose? (Hint: Shop Local is the one-hour choice.)

As I approach my 50th birthday, time is on my mind.

One of our platform’s major benefits is helping clients avoid wasting time. For example, a retailer that uses our service on average avoids $36,000 on Labor costs each year.

My job is to convey these time savings whenever I can. We want to quantify time savings, such as by showing weeks or months saved on labor. (Reference: my napkin calendar sketch.) i have to let retailers, brands, and reps know we can stop the bleeding of time that other services produce.

With Shop Local, you can have your birthday cake and eat it, too. You save time AND sell more. That is a great gift.
