You Better Watch Out, Small Business Merchants
Ontario, Canada (PRWEB) October 29, 2013 -- Forget Santa - FEDEX will be the busy one! Over 22 million packages will be shipped out to consumers (on December 2nd, alone). That’s 22 million different transactions made, so far, by consumers this holiday season - the majority of which being made though credit card payments online.
December 2, 2013 will be the busiest day FEDEX has had to date, stated Parry Rosenberg – Vice President of Sales and Marketing at MONEXgroup. “It’s not because Santa is on strike,” chuckles Rosenberg, “it’s because online sale deliveries have increased by 10 per cent in one year - and this trend looks to continue for years to come.”
Small business merchants should prepared for, both in-person and online shopping, to accommodate for the mass holiday shoppers and their shipment demands throughout the holiday season. Capitalize on the influx of spending online throughout the next month and prepare the business as necessary.
For online businesses: ensure the website is equipped with an online payment solution such as a Virtual terminal, fully hosted eCommerce site or simple a Hosted Checkout solution that can handle the increased volume in payments and can process in a secure fashion.
For in-store: invest in one (or multiple) back-up POS terminals to ensure payments can always be processed, order extra receipt paper and consider an upgrade in terminal options offering customers a quick, efficient shopping experience.
