How to Create a Business Profile on Twirlmate
Welcome to Twirlmate for Business Owners! This guide provides step-by-step instructions for setting up your business profile.
Step 1: Select the Business Owner role
After signing up with Twirlmate, you'll set up the basics of your account. The first thing you'll do is select the roles you play in the twirling world. The roles you select in this step will determine what information we collect during the rest of the account setup process.
If you're reading this after already having gone through the setup process, you can return to the beginning of the account setup process here.
Start by checking the Business Owner box.
Step 2: Tell us more about you
Next, you'll be asked for your name and address. If you selected other roles besides Business Owner, you'll be taken to additional pages before arriving at Step 3.
Step 3: Start your business profile
Enter basic details about your business, such as its name and a tagline. You can also add a brief description of what you sell or the services you provide, as well as select from a list of categories we use to organize businesses.
The categories you pick will help customers find you more easily. You can easily change them at any time. The categories consist of:
Apparel
Awards
Batons and Supplies
Beauty and Self-Care
Costumes
Education
Entertainment
Health and Wellness
Multimedia Services
Lastly, you can provide a logo for your business. We recommend uploading a square image that is at least 500 x 500 pixels.
This will be the end of the account setup process.
Step 4: Continue editing your profile
After your account is set up and you've created the foundation of your business profile, you can add more details to it. You can do so by clicking on the My Business tab of your account homepage.
Step 5: View your private profile
From the account homepage, you'll be taken to an internal version of your business profile. As the business owner, only you can see this.
To update your profile, click the "Edit" button.
Step 6: Enter more details about your business
The "Edit" button will take you to a complete form where you can enter additional information about your business, such as contact information/address, a website link, and social media links.
By default, your business profile will have a visibility status of "unlisted". This means it will not be added to the public list of businesses on Twirlmate. To make your page visible to others, change the visibility status to "public".
After you're done adding information, click "Save" at the bottom of the page.
Step 7: Preview your public business profile
If your page is unlisted, you can still preview it by clicking on the "Preview Page" button in the upper right corner of your internal business profile.
This button will take you to a private version of your page. To return to your business profile, click the "Edit" link in the banner near the top of the page.
Step 8: Publish your business profile
When you're ready to publish your profile, edit the visibility of your business page to "public" so that it's available for others to see.
After you save your changes, the page will be live!
In addition to having a standalone page, your business will also be included in the list of vendors on the Browse Vendors page.
And that's it! Thank you for sharing your business with the twirling world through Twirlmate.
