Austin is an <b>absolutely</b> thriving place
|
|
|
|
00:00:09.501 --> 00:00:12.000
|
|
for small business. And for <u>locally owned</u> businesses.
|
|
|
|
00:00:12.001 --> 00:00:15.000
|
|
We have <i>more locally owned businesses</i> per capita
|
|
|
|
00:00:15.001 --> 00:00:17.500
|
|
than any other city our size in the nation.

I'm Marsha Lane, the owner of
|
|
|
|
00:00:19.001 --> 00:00:22.000
|
|
Ragalicious and Flashback in Austin, Texas.
|
|
|
|
00:00:22.001 --> 00:00:23.000
|
|
Everybody in Austin it seems like
|
|
|
|
00:00:23.001 --> 00:00:25.000
|
|
is a potential entrepreneur.
|
|
|
|
00:00:25.001 --> 00:00:27.000
|
|
I moved here in 1982. I thought I had a job.
|
|
|
|
00:00:27.001 --> 00:00:31.500
|
|
It fell through, so I started my own business then.
|
|
|
|
00:00:31.501 --> 00:00:34.500
|
|
|
|
|
|
00:00:34.501 --> 00:00:38.500
|
|
Well Tom made a cash box out of a shoe box.
|
|
|
|
00:00:38.501 --> 00:00:40.500
|
|
I didn't want to throw the money in a drawer.
|
|
|
|
00:00:41.501 --> 00:00:44.500
|
|
But I just cut a shoebox and made it dividers
|
|
|
|
00:00:44.501 --> 00:00:48.000
|
|
and put in the cash and the change. [laughs]
|
|
|
|
00:00:48.001 --> 00:00:51.500
|
|
|
|
|
|
00:00:51.501 --> 00:00:54.000
|
|
Today we installed PayPal Here.
|
|
|
|
00:00:54.001 --> 00:00:57.000
|
|
And we're really looking forward to using it in the future.

One of the things that excites me the most
|
|
|
|
00:01:03.001 --> 00:01:05.500
|
|
is that PayPal didn't come in and say,
|
|
|
|
00:01:05.501 --> 00:01:07.000
|
|
"Here's what we want you to buy."
|
|
|
|
00:01:07.001 --> 00:01:08.500
|
|
They've come in to say,
|
|
|
|
00:01:08.501 --> 00:01:10.000
|
|
"How can we help you?"
|
|
|
|
00:01:10.001 --> 00:01:13.500
|
|
"How can we be a partner to you as a local business?"
|
|
|
|
00:01:13.501 --> 00:01:16.500

I'm really pleased to be one of the first people in Austin
|
|
|
|
00:01:18.501 --> 00:01:21.000
|
|
using the new cash for registers program
|
|
|
|
00:01:21.001 --> 00:01:24.000
|
|
and especially because we get free processing
|
|
|
|
00:01:24.001 --> 00:01:27.000
|
|
for 6 whole months and that is huge.
|
|
|
|
00:01:27.001 --> 00:01:29.000
|
|
I used PayPal Here for the first time this morning
|
|
|
|
00:01:29.001 --> 00:01:33.000
|
|
and I really like that it's really user friendly, self-explanatory
|
|
|
|
00:01:33.001 --> 00:01:35.000
|
|
I think customers will appreciate that
|
|
|
|
00:01:35.001 --> 00:01:39.000
|
|
it won't take me as long to add up their total.
|
|
|
|
00:01:39.001 --> 00:01:43.000
|
|
You just put in the amount; it figures the sales tax for you
|
|
|
|
00:01:43.001 --> 00:01:46.000
|
|
and everything goes into the bank account daily.
|
|
|
|
00:01:46.001 --> 00:01:49.000
|
|
One of the important things for a local business
|
|
|
|
00:01:49.001 --> 00:01:51.000
|
|
is to get as many customers as they can and
|
|
|
|
00:01:51.001 --> 00:01:54.000
|
|
make it easy for those customers to come do business with them.
|
|
|
|
00:01:54.001 --> 00:01:59.000
|
|
Being able to use PayPal in a retail situation like that
|
|
|
|
00:01:59.001 --> 00:02:02.000
|
|
just gives them one more option.
|
|
|
|
00:02:02.001 --> 00:02:05.000
|
|
Everything's very exciting; I'm really looking forward to it.
|
|
|
|
00:02:05.001 --> 00:02:09.000
|
|
I so appreciate especially the support PayPal is giving us.
|
|
|
|
00:02:09.001 --> 00:02:12.000
|
|
I would definitely recommend PayPal to other small businesses.
|
|
|
|
00:02:12.001 --> 00:02:16.000
|
|
Thanks to PayPal I found a better use for my shoe box.
|
|
|
|
00:02:16.001 --> 00:02:30.000
