We understand that running a business, whether small or large requires a lot of decision making. And all those decisions cost money. Especially when it is a local set up and the budget is limited. You need to be very smart with your startup. Many parts of business require heavy investments. But one of the most important things to run a successful business is to play smart. The smarter you are, the better you would be at business.
However, rule number one of running a smart business is to stay ahead of time. We understand that running a new business can be very stressful but staying up to date is crucial. Running around with cash is not for everyone. Customers usually prefer using cards for transactions. We recommend getting on the credit card bandwagon so that you can cater to a larger group of audience.
If you worry that card machines are not for you, then we have compiled a list of reasons why you should get one immediately.
An overall increase in sales
When you start accepting credit cards more people can shop from you. You are no longer causing a hindrance in sales. You are opening your business for everyone.
Research shows that businesses that accept credit cards generate double the amount of revenue than a business with only a cash option. Also, it was seen that when people started accepting cards their sales increased by 52 percent.
Better customer experience
Getting payments done with a credit card helps you save both money and time. And at the same time, it makes the customer experience better. It also streamlines the shopping experience. This way the customer would keep coming back to you again and again. It also keeps the customer in charge of the way they want to pay. When you give your customers the choice to pay either with a credit card or with cash, you are giving them the power to decide. This will make them happy.
Keep yourself in the place of a customer and think of what you prefer. I’m sure you will also find it easy to whip out a credit card than carrying around cash.
People tend to spend more with cards
This might seem bizarre. But it is true. Research shows that people buy more things when they are paying with cards. It is easy to spend money with more plastic than cash. People usually don’t realize that they are spending when they are working with the card. One more thing that credit card does is that it encourages impulse buying. It is because they don’t need to count the cash that they have in their pockets.
Streamline your payment process
The payment process with a credit card is very easy and stress-free. Credit card transactions ensure that payments will directly go into your account. When someone pays for your business with a credit card then you receive an automatic response immediately. It is called authorization. Hence credit cards provide cash security.
Increase your customer base
When you start accepting cards, you are widening your horizons. You are catering to a larger audience. You are encouraging more customers to shop with you. People will no longer have to check their wallets before going into your shop.
