220. Ways To Encourage Customers to Pay in Cash & Cash Safety Tips

Encouraging your customers to pay in cash is not only great for your business (buh-bye, credit card transaction fees!), but great for your community.  Accepting cash diversifies payment options, keeps money out of banks' deep pockets, and gives people without bank accounts access to goods and services. Cash is a win for small businesses and customers alike!  While taking more cash payments might feel risky for your indie retail business, I promise that the benefits to you and your customers far outweigh the negatives. Listen in to learn the facts about accepting cash, how you can encourage customers to pay in cash, and how to keep you and your employees safe when handling cash transactions.
