Accepting Plastic—the Benefits

Every type of business gains financially by accepting credit cards. With more than 500 million credit cards in use domestically, US charges recorded for 1999 alone reached $1.1 trillion!

Accepting credit cards can increase sales by as much as 40%. Call First-Trans today to setup with a merchant account and begin to enjoy the financial gain of accepting credit cards.

  • More Sales: Studies show that credit card customers spend 2 1/2 times more than customers who only carry cash.
  • Impulse Buying: Credit cards give customers freedom to spend for previously unplanned purchases.
  • More Expensive Merchandise: Credit cards entice customers to purchase more expensive merchandise than they had originally planned to buy.
  • Competitive Weapon: Credit card customers are often less conscious of slight price differences and will seek out businesses that offer credit card payment options.
  • Enhanced Advertising: Since customers are more likely to shop at businesses where they have credit card acceptance, they tend to look for and read those ads first.
  • Steadier Sales: Cash shoppers buy heavier on paydays and just before holidays; credit card customers buy whenever the need arises.
  • Customer Loyalty: Research shows customers who spend more on credit tend to return to the same business again.
