Building CC fees into your pricing is
BAD business practice!
HOW MUCH DID YOU LOSE LAST MONTH IN CC FEES BY NOT BEING ON DUAL PRICING? $3,000? $5,000? $10,000?
Building CC fees into your pricing is BAD business practice
That price ALWAYS looks higher than a store that can highlight their Cash price.
With Dual Pricing, customers get an additional way to save EVERY day, not just on “Sr. Tuesday”, “Wine Wednesday”, etc… “Save w/ Cash 7 days a week”.
Competitors not doing Dual Pricing do not have pricing flexibility.
What would happen if you could…
- Lower the regular price of Tito’s by $1 a bottle, for example
- Avoid the next prices increases that the store down the street can’t
