Accepting Credit Cards --> More Sales

[BBQ123]

Was just reading about a company that started taking credit cards in Nov. 2004 and saw their # of transactions/year go up 4.5% and average transaction $ go up 3.7%.

 

2002 -> 2003 sales fell 1.2%

2003 -> 2004 sales fell 0.7%

2004 -> 2005 they saw sales go up, after they started taking credit cards.

...and my local TACO BELL had sales increases between double and triple of their CASH ONLY DAYS

[GEORGE]

Every time I "EAT-IN" at TACO BELL I sit near the PEPSI machine and watch the customers paying in between bites (what else is there to do)

 

In the short time I was there (less than 30 minutes)...more than 3/4 of the people used plastic

 

I have never seen less than 50% using plastic on a given day

 

AND BEFORE ANYBODY TELLS ME HOW CRAPPY THEIR FOOD IS...keep your comments to yourself

 

(and I don't eat there every day)

 

I might eat there 3 or 4 times a month

[MB82x]

I might eat there 3 or 4 times a week

 

fixed that for you

Talking about your own eating habits mb? Taco Bell 3 or 4 times a week? Splurge and go to Burger King the other days?

 

The grocery store produce department may interest you my friend.

I was making light of George's love of Taco Bell...

 

I never touch the stuff, and do my grocery shopping at Whole Foods.

Don't eat frozen vegies UNLESS I can hide them in POTATOES

Where is "THERE"

[BBQ123]

These days almost every business taking credit/debit cards does more sales in credit/debit cards than cash.

Sure, because Electronic payment is a little more convenient than cash.
