The New Year will bring in a number of technological changes that will directly affect business sales. Business sense dictates that owners and sales departments should, at the very least, consider how upgrades could affect the sales, marketability, and branding. Here are a few thoughts from the business market that may be helpful to your business’s strategic planning.
Apple Payday!
Independent research from mobile analytic giants Fiksu and Mixpanel relates that Apple’s iPhone 6 sales are nearing 20 million. That’s not a typo—it’s actually 20 million! iPhone users are dedicated to Apple and collectively represent a high-end revenue source to several business. The Apple Pay system that is embedded in the latest iPhone has the potential to increase sales to businesses of all types. Is your business in position to benefit from Apple’s new contactless payment setup? Not if you do not have the equipment in place to process these payments.
Credit & Debit Chips
One year from now, every credit and debit card will be all chips in—literally and figuratively. Credit card fraud is outrageous in the U.S. and America is finally going to make the move to EMV (Europay, Mastercard & Visa) contact and contactless chip technology. Most of the world has already made the change and have proven that the new tech prevents a wide array of fraud. The new credit cards will use equipment that facilitates chip reading transactions. Does your business have a plan in place for the change?
