Have you ever been in a conversation with someone and after sharing what you do and offer, they ask you how do they sign up or get what you’re selling? I have. And there’s nothing worse than telling them to go to this website or call me later or visit my office.

Why do I believe there’s nothing worse than this? Because the momentum is gone. Your personal interaction excited them and they were ready to get whatever you were giving. So why not be ready, anytime, anyplace?

It’s why I ordered a Square Credit Card Magnetic Stripe Reader. And here’s why I believe you should as well.

#1 // It’s free.

The Reader itself is free. You only pay the transaction fees. The transaction fee amount varies depending upon whether or not you swipe the cards or enter the information in manually.

#2 // You become a mobile business.

No matter where you are, you can quickly make a secure sale and accept all major credit cards. It’s great for conferences and while traveling near and far.

#3 // It works with or without a signal.

Wouldn’t it be terrible to think that you have a customer ready to buy from you right there on the spot, only to find out you have no wifi connection? You don’t have to worry about that with the Square Credit Card Reader.

There’s also a square reader for chip cards that’s $29. And a contactless card Reader that can be used with Apple Pay and chip cards for $49.

No matter what type of business you have, you can benefit from the Square Credit Card Reader. Start increasing your reach today.
