Accept Credit Cards
Welcome back!
Accepting credit cards is a must in today marketplace. With the addition of Visa & MasterCard Branded debit cards to the market in the mid-1990’s, the use of plastic has exploded. Consumers who use to carry cash, now prefer to carry the debit card. Visa & Mastercard “Check Cards”, as they are referred to are accepted any where credit cards are accepted. Consumers look for the sign “We Accept Credit Cards” when deciding to make a purchase.
Credit card transactions also began to take off as consumers got comfortable using their credit card for e-commerce purchases, beginning in around the same-time debit cards were “Branded”. E-commerce transactions continue to grow each year with no end in site. With the current cost of gasoline the growth trend in e-commerce transactions should spike, as consumers can order products with free shipping and in some cases, no sales tax.
In closing, your ability to accept credit cards is a must. Your competitors will steal a large percentage of your customers if you think credit card processing is expensive. This thinking will surely cost you more money lossing sales to your competitors. Don’t be penny-wise and dollar-foolish.
