Thank you all for coming to our small business support group. Remember, no challenge is too big or too small. We're here for you. Who'd like to start today? Alrighty, Gary. Let's hear it. Hi. My name's Gary. Hi. Hi. Gary. So since our last meeting, I had another business idea. Neon signs. Great. Right? The problem is I can't find anyone who's willing to ship them. They're just so gargantuan. Have you tried Uni shippers yet? Oh, I use them. I joined this group to get help with my shipping, but then I found Unishippers. So now I just come here for the free cookies. I found UniShippers last month, but it really all started three years ago when I opened my business. I knew I had a passion for selling mirrors, but what I didn't know was how hard they were to ship. And you know what they say about breaking mirrors. But luckily, I found Unishippers, and they taught me how to package my mirrors the right way. So now my mirrors ship worry free, and my luck has finally changed. Oh, I love Uni shippers. Before using them, all my products from my farm would spoil on the way to the grocery store. It was so much melted cheese. And let me tell you, it wasn't as good as fondue. I checked. Plus, my employees were pretty upset that their hard work kept getting ruined. But Unishippers set me up with refrigerated freight options through their easy to use online website. So now my products arrive fresh every time. And when you told me how Uni shippers helped you save, I decided to give them a try as well. Business at my camping store was booming, but I was afraid that something else would too, my propane shipments. I was so nervous that I hired an outside team to help. It got expensive fast. Turns out I should have worked with Uni shippers right from the beginning. My personal shipping consultant taught me everything I needed to know about shipping hazardous items. So now my shipments get to the customer faster and cheaper. So let me get this straight. Uni shippers will figure out all the hard parts for me? Exactly. Uni shippers will worry about the shipping, so you can worry about everything else. Okay then. Well, guys, what should we talk about now? Anyone want a cookie?
