Position your retail POS display for maximum exposure

Striking color banners or flashing neon signs may seem glitzy, but you need to get your customers' attention - and fast. Point them to the most profitable items in your POS displays and you will likely sell more.

I recommend: The Elliott Group makes custom store fixtures, display cases and interactive POS displays. You can request this company's expertise by calling them or filling out a form and submitting it online. POS Displays makes brochure holders and posters. Check out their entire lineup.

Use payment terminals that speed up the paying process

If your line is too long and too slow, you will very likely lose business. That's why POS terminals make sense. Customers make their purchases, move on with their day and ultimately come back to do it all over again.

I recommend: Verifone offers a variety of POS terminals that will have your customers in and out in no time. Choose the right payment terminal for your business. Merchant Accounts Express offers a reliable POS terminal starting at under $100. Add a few more features as your business grows. They even have a battery-operated payment terminal for places with no power, such as flea markets.

Create custom POS displays for a fine dining experience

Make sure every table has a table tent with your best products listed. Put a menu sign in the foyer with your specials for the day. POS displays make the difference in your bottom line, so use them to your advantage.

I recommend: Displays2go offers table tents, illuminated menu boards and sandwich board POS displays. Signs Display provides POS signs for your business. If your customers do not know you are there or open for business, they will not come in. Create a custom POS sign for your business that reflects exactly what you can offer.
