Judy Morgan – CA Licensed Electrologist – Electrolysis is the process of permanently removing unwanted hair. In this process, a metal filament called a probe, that is as thin as a hair, is slid into each unwanted hair follicle. This is done with the utmost care so the probe does not puncture the skin. Upon insertion, a very low electric current is delivered to the follicle through the probe, which causes localized damage to the cell that produces the hair. Most patrons feel only a slight tingling sensation. Electrolysis has the best results in terms of longevity and is the only method of permanent hair removal recognized by the FDA.

Credit Card Processing Applications Indicate Increased Small Business Start Growth
Credit Card Processing Applications Indicate Increased Small Business Start Growth
Fort Lauderdale, FL (PRWEB) November 04, 2011
Ratecreditcardprocessing.com has reported a recent 43% increase in credit card processing inquiries from small business start-ups renewing hopes for a near term small business recovery.
With nearly seven out of ten American consumers regularly using credit card or debit cards to pay for goods or services, businesses that integrate state of the art merchant processing solutions typically see a direct increase in sales.
“The transaction processing services and rates offered to businesses are very competitive, it is the customer service and support that sets the best merchant account providers apart.” said Ariel Pryor, merchant analyst for the credit card processing review group.
Financial experts have cited that up to 90% of daily sales opportunities are missed out if a merchant did not have the ability to accept credit cards for payment at point-of-sale.
Merchant account inquiries are a good indication of new business starts and entrepreneurial activity as it is often a vital and early stage for business start-ups to secure.
“Renewed interest from owners looking to grow their businesses is heartening after an extended period of bleak business activity.” said Ariel Pryor.
A 43% increase in merchant account inquiries compared to previous months, reported the popular one-stop comparison site for top performing credit card processing services.
Among the site’s top consumer reviewed credit card processing companies include the Merchant Warehouse which has held the top recommended service position for 4 months and heading into 2012 because of low cost services and top consumer feedback scores.
With an estimated 10,000 payment card transactions made every second around the world, credit cards are responsible for more than $ 2.5 trillion in transactions a year and are accepted at more than 24 million locations in more than 200 countries and territories, according to the American Bankers Association in a recent report.
According to a data from the U.S. Census Bureau, there were 159 million credit cardholders in the United States in 2000, 173 million in 2006, and the number is projected to have grown to 181 million Americans as of 2010 with a majority of people preferring the convenience of paying by card for purchases.
“Accepting credit card transactions opens up revenue opportunities and is a necessity for any business that is looking increase sales under current market conditions and trends.” stated the consumer review expert.
Additionally, eighty percent of consumers currently own a debit card, compared to 78 percent who own a credit card and 17 who own a prepaid card, cited a survey made by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston in January 2010.

Not Signed Up for Merchant Services? Your Business Could Suffer
It’s more important now than ever before for businesses to use one merchant services provider for all of their payment needs. Credit cards, debit cards, checks, online, gift cards and more—customers have more payment options open to them today, and it’s crucial for companies to accommodate them to maintain superior customer service and a competitive advantage.
Credit Card Processing
Organizations in all industries have a need for fast and effective credit card processing in a variety of forms. For on-site processing, search for plug-in or even wireless terminals like the VeriFone Nurit 8020. Featuring a large backlit display, touch screen for signatures, PIN pad, and rechargeable batteries, this credit card terminal can be used in store or on the go. Are you in the direct marketing, catering, florist, or catalog industry? Then it’s essential for you to offer credit card payment options over the phone or in the mail. You can find terminals that allow for manual entry, or credit processing software for your own computer. Finding a fast and secure credit card processing provider with reasonable rates is a necessity for developing a thriving, successful business.
Check Acceptance
Even with so many wireless and Internet methods of payment, many customers still prefer to write checks. Merchant services can convert checks into electronic documents for guaranteed payment that is quick and secure. This also improves record keeping, making it easier to track and note different orders. Striving to cut down on deposit time and verify the validity of every check are goals of each merchant services provider. By simplifying the check acceptance system of your organization, you can cut costs and contribute to its overall success.
]]>
Online Payments
More and more shoppers expect the ability to pay online from businesses across all industries. Built-in fraud protection, a fast and secure connection, and plug-ins or add-ons that can be customized to fit your needs are a must. Online payment can be accepted in a variety of forms, from electronic checks to gift cards and major credit cards, including: Mastercard, Visa, American Express, and Discover. Storing shoppers’ personal information at a data center instead of your computer reduces the likelihood of theft and stolen identities. Give your customers the freedom to make payments 24 hours a day from any location with online payments.
Cash Advances
Securing money for your business can be a long and trying experience. Now you can acquire business cash advances quickly and hassle-free from merchant services. With many providers, you can get your money in as little as 72 hours after submitting an application. For a merchant cash advance, your provider will pay for future credit card transactions up front, and then get paid back a small, fixed percent of those daily purchases on your card. There are many benefits to this form of cash advance, from no closing costs or hidden fees to no monthly bills—it’s even tax deductible. After comparing the costs of a typical bank loan to merchant services’ cash advance program, the best choice is clear.
Gift and Loyalty Cards
Businesses everywhere are realizing the value of loyal customers—that’s why many merchant service providers offer loyalty programs, to better cater to the returning shopper. Loyalty cards increase customer retention through discounts and reminders that keep them coming back for more. Another effective tool in attracting old customers and new is the gift card. Many times gift cards are given to new customers, bringing in new business. Once they’re in the store or on the website, customers also tend to spend more than the face value of the gift card. Useable by credit card processing terminals and online payment services, gift cards are as easy to use as they are to buy. Promote customer loyalty as well as bring in new buyers with a selection of gift and loyalty cards.
ATM Services
Have you ever considered the benefits of installing an ATM in your establishment? The ATM sign will draw in customers, and in many cases they will end up using some of that cash in your store. With each withdrawal, you’ll rake in a percentage of dough, and customers will feel safe by using an ATM in a well-lit and friendly business. An on-site ATM allows you to reduce the amount of cash kept in registers, and means fewer trips to the bank for deposits. Contact a merchant services company today to learn more about furthering your business with an ATM.
To secure customers’ sensitive data and provide an easy, efficient way to process payments, merchant services are increasingly becoming a necessity in this day and age. With so much to offer, merchant services can upgrade your payment records and systems for a more cost-effective solution for an evolving business’ needs.

Why your Boutique Business Should Accept Credit Cards
The appeal of running a boutique business is keeping things small and organized. Customers love these cozy little establishments because they almost feel as if everything is specialized just for them. And in many ways, these businesses really are tailored to a very specific clientele. Owners of boutique businesses work extremely hard to design the type of establishment they can be proud to operate. It isn’t always easy to stick to your convictions when it comes to the high-stakes world of capitalism, but boutique business owners strive to do it every single day.
Of course, there are instances in the life of a boutique business where you have to make tough decisions. Sometimes you may want to institute a new product or program but fear it could soil the integrity of your business. Deciding on the forms of payment you want to accept can turn into one of these moral dilemmas. Accepting cash-only has long been a model for boutique businesses. And in a way, it makes sense. Things feel more manageable then. But this just isn’t something that can go on forever. Customers expect to be able to pay with their credit and debit cards whether they are at a “big box” store or the little antique shop down the block. Here are a few reasons why your small business should start accepting credit and debit cards.
The Basics
Whether your business is an antique store, a thrift shop or any other “bricks and mortar” establishment, you can always benefit from being able to accept multiple forms of payment. And the best way to expand your horizons in a physical establishment is through retail swipe terminals. When you sign up with a merchant services account, you can easily start accepting plastic in a matter of days. Many account providers will have deals where you can actually get free swipe terminals when you open an account. However, be wary of these deals. In some cases, you may discover hidden fees associated with these machines if you ever decide to switch providers. The best way to get around this is either to buy the machines outright, or just be sure you want to stick with a specific provider for the long haul.
]]>
Once you have a machine and provider selected, the rest is pretty easy. Talk to your merchant account representative about the different types of machines available to you. You can choose machines with keypads for pin numbers, screens to sign or even machines that let you swipe the card and need no confirmation at all. No matter what type of machine you use, the results are always the same. In a few short business days, the money from each transaction will be deposited in your business bank account. Fees for this type of transaction are the lowest in the business, because of the decreased frequency of fraud during interpersonal purchases.
Taking it on the Move
Of course, not every boutique business finds itself grounded in the same place. Traveling food trucks are a perfect example of this. Do you run a cute little cupcake truck stationed on a college campus? In most cases, those students are only going to be carrying around their credit or debit cards, and you need to be able to accept them. But what are you supposed to do when you run a business that is on the go? Well, with wireless terminals you can swipe peoples’ credit cards from anywhere you please. They will transmit the card information wirelessly and your provider will process the information just like they would through a traditional swipe terminal.
Expanding your Range
Small family-owned catering companies are another business that can benefit from credit card acceptance. But what are you to do when most of your orders come in over the phone? How can you accept a credit card when you don’t actually have the credit card in your hand? With a virtual terminal, you can process any credit card, even if you aren’t there to swipe it in person. As long as you have all of the pertinent information, you can handle the transaction via any computer that is connected to the Internet. All you have to do is log onto the virtual terminal with your secure username and password. Then simply punch in the card information and you are ready to go.
These virtual terminals are great for more than just phone orders, as well. You can also use them to process orders that come in via e-mail, through the fax machine or even through postal mail. As long as you have the card information, you can process that plastic with a virtual terminal. These are just a few ways that boutique businesses can benefit from credit card processing. Of course, a merchant account provider can also help your web-based business accept credit cards. Talk to your merchant account provider today about all the wonderful services they can offer that will skyrocket your boutique business into the stratosphere.
