We’ve just upgraded our epos system. It’s only been in place a week, but I’ve already noticed an increase in sales, and it has helped end the situation where people don’t quite have enough money on them and promise to pay us later – which they never do. Now we have a valid excuse for not letting them off.
The confectionery category has also benefited – it’s such a large category to control, but now we can manage it better and get more information on which lines are selling and which aren’t. It obviously cost a bit to upgrade the system, but it is an important investment to help us grow.”
My other business, Screen Wizzard, has also just signed some big contracts to supply LED writing screens to more than 200 stores throughout the UK. It’s something that I introduced to the UK in 2011 and allows store owners to create their own POS material for as little as £124. I really think store owners are missing out by not advertising promotions to customers, and this helps them do exactly that. My company’s solution is low cost and can be used again and again.
