Here's the bad news. If your small business doesn't accept plastic, you've probably got more dissatisfied customers than you realize. Whether for convenience, security, loyalty awards, or just plain habit, today's consumers prefer to pay with plastic. They are ditching checks in favor of credit cards in record numbers.
Not offering your customers the option to pay with plastic means fewer customers and ultimately fewer sales for your contracting company. If your competitors accept credit cards and you don't, your customers may soon start doing business with your competitors.
