Retail

Most of your clients are present with their credit cards at the time of sale. You will be able to swipe this card through the magnetic reader and obtain a signature on the receipt.

Service Retail

If you or your staff go to customer sites to perform work or deliver goods and will get an imprint of the credit card with a signature this is your category.

Wholesale

The goods are shipped from supplier to user or reseller and you never see the credit card.

Mail Order

Your clients buy from you via mail or telephone.  You never see the credit card and you don't know the customer.

Internet Sales

Internet Sales are sales on the Internet no matter how you get the card.

Brick and Mortar Businesses Use the Internet

The business uses of Internet commerce are really beginning to surface. Business to business transactions are one of the hottest areas of growth. If you have a business that now has a significant amount of telephone order traffic or have a situation whereby customers could save time by ordering ahead for later pick-up the Internet may have great application.

Consumer business can be supplemented by a good website that allows existing clients to shop by Internet when coming into the store is not possible or convenient. I bought my stereo by going to Best Buy and determining what I wanted then ordered it off the Internet so it would be delivered to my home instead of humping all that heavy stuff myself. The exact pieces I wanted could be ordered immediately from the web page while some items were not in stock at the store location. The same idea can be promoted by any business.

The Internet is this generation's major communication enhancement. Every business person must be able to use the tools this media provides to exist in the future of business.

Internet Businesses

Many of the early versions of businesses that do not have brick and mortar locations were not commercially successful. We believe this was due to the "fit" of the business enterprise into the capabilities of the Internet. Highly technical or customized to fit type businesses have not done well. Product businesses and service businesses that place their wares on Internet web pages for order often do quite well.
