Why should you accept credit cards at all?

1. Convenience - A Visa study in 2006 showed that 40% of consumers payments are with a method other than cash or cheque. Offering the payment methods people want to use is a great idea.
2. Credibility - Most people realize that there is a process to go through in order for a business to accept credit cards. If they don't, it may reflect poorly on the business' credit or background.
3. Bigger Rings - When people purchase with a credit card, they are more likey to purchase premium products over value products.
4. More Impulse Buys - Consumers purchase more items on the spur of the moment where credit cards are accepted.
5. More Cash Sales - According to the book Influence by Robert Cialdini, businesses displaying the Visa/Mastercard logo's showed a 29% increase in cash sales during controlled experiments.
6. Reduce Bad Cheques & Collections Costs - With credit cards, you accept the payment up front, with no need to chase down payments not received or bounced cheque's.
