The big dog is back! We've been rather busy!
What a year 2023 was! Last year was our busiest year ever for us here at Square Society, we hosted our biggest club stands ever at some of the UK's largest shows to almost running out of stickers and merch!
We'd like to formally welcome back all of our club members and any newbies who's tuned-in to our blog or joined us in the recent months, welcome!
So what's new for 2024?
Where do we begin? There's a lot! New website, new events, new stickers and so much more.
Make a brew and grab a seat, it's a big one!
exciting new Website
We've slapped the website on a diet plan and gave it a complete makeover, isn't she pretty! We've gave it a fresh redesign and tidied up a bit, everything you see is completely brand-new! It's a lot easier to navigate and we've even got some great new features to talk about to! We're so excited!
We've completely redesigned the store, we've slimmed it right down and stripped it right back to the basics! We've removed some of our slowest sellers and brand-related merch, however this doesn't mean it's gone forever! We've slimmed down the different clothing products we offer into one of each type, now with multiple designs to choose from! So go take a look at our hoodies, t-shirts and sweaters and don't forget to take a look at our Original, Club or Est 2017 designs available across our products.
We've taken in a lot of feedback in 2023 and implemented the feedback into helping us shape-up for this year, you asked for more sizes, we listed! We now stock 8 different sizes in our clothing range, ranging from Small all the way up to 5XL on the majority of our products.
Ok, so what about stickers?
Don't worry, we've got you boo! We've completely restocked our Original, Stacked and Club stickers, all available in 3 colours to pick from! You have Gloss White, Oil Slick and our brand-new to 2024 colour, Glittered Gold (highly-reflective gold oil slick with glitter flakes). We've even got brand-new size options for our Original sticker too! You can now choose Small or Large sizes on our Original sticker as well as having 3 colour options to pick from!
We've given our events page a thorough remodel, we've finally got it to how we pictured it years ago! We've added every event that we're either planning on attending or hosting, each event is set up practically like how we have it on our Facebook Group. You can click Buy Now to be taken to the corresponding events page where you can purchase club tickets to be on our club stand for that event, however, for Jap Show and Jap Show Finale you can purchase tickets for this event directly on our website (something we've been trying to perfect for years and now we finally have!) You'll even get email reminders a week before the event to remind you about the upcoming event (as well as if we have to cancel the club stand for that event). We're still finalising the dates on a few events that we're planning but the majority of the big major car shows are up and running, you'll need the events password for each event to purchase tickets for which you'll be able to find directly in the Square Society Facebook Group.
Like all of our other pages, we've redesigned this one to and given it a new name! The Square Hub is our dedicated page to getting the most out of square life! It's a page we've put together that helps out those with squares in their life, a place where you can go if you're looking to import parts, have your car serviced, visit square friendly venues as well as square car owner clubs that we're a part of. Everything on this page is solely down to recommendations as well as our official club partners! As we go on we'll be looking to grow our Square Hub so if you've got any recommendations then let us know!
We've binned off the contact form as not every email was coming through to us, you can now contact us through any of our social media pages! We've also got a dedicated FAQs on our contact page as well, if you need to visit our contact page then the link to it is at the bottom of every page.
NEW ADMINS
We'd like to personally welcome Stuart and Colm to the admin team! These two have really proved themselves as admin material over the last year or so and are a credit to us already!
