I bet you never thought that the ice cream man that comes around ringing his bells would ever take credit cards. Neither did I until I retired and became the ice cream man. I realized that a strawberry shortcake bar was now over a dollar and when a mom comes with several kids or maybe a whole team of kids, that is a sale I do not want to lose. I contacted Merchant Industry the leading NY merchant service company and they set me up with a mobile system that enables me to take cards. It has become a well known fact at the little league field and sales are up because of it. Who would have guessed?

There are two convenience stores in town and we are the only one that takes credit cards. The other one does not. They think that having an ATM is going to work to have the customer take out the cash. Every day I get a new customer who did not want to pay the ATM fees and came here instead. I connected with Merchant Industry years back and it gave us an edge right off the bat. When a person has a choice, I want them to choose me and having credit card processing makes that choice easier for them.
