We opened a lighting warehouse several years ago and our cash and carry policy worked well. We had cheap prices and advertised low overhead as our reason. As the years went by and money got tighter we were losing sales because people did not carry as much cash as a means of self control and tighter budgets. We got in touch with Merchant Industry and had them finally set us up with a free terminal and a credit card processing system. In this economy we must take credit cards, and with our sales today compared to before Merchant Industry helped us prove that fact.
