1/2 times more than customers who only carry cash.

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.
