I agree that is mpre on promotion but it is easy to say that. I hope that the consortium also will help addresed this and frequent info drive. Also hope that someone can develop a terminal for bitcoin that like a credit/debit card you just slide your card or you just scan the QR codes o phone and its done. Its easy for the merchant and for buyer too.
i think if this project will be implemented more and more business establishment will start embracing this currency if we can develop a system that will integrate for their business and as an individual holders we should attract more and more of our friends and relatives to learn about btc so the demand of user will push local businesses to embrace it. 
Topic: How can we encourage local businesses to accept BTC? - page 58. (Read 185011 times)
TBH in my country there was a lot of publicity around 2 years ago and a couple of ventures, but the momentum dissipated quickly.
If you exclude the online exchanges and local trades done through localbitcoins, there's virtually no market. An ATM for trading bitcoins in my city was even sold to another country...

Publicity will help the use of bitcoin locally, followed by the efficient use of the computer system or mobile technology. Internet has being the efficient platform for the use of bitcoin so internet users should encourage the payment or exchange to be mostly bitcoin, then anyone who approaches the internet will get used to it and help local business exchange to adopt bitcoin trade.
They need to decide it by it self to accept it as mode of payment . As far as I know some country already do that even using other altcoin.Just tell them what is the good side of using bitcoin and how it works and they will decide if they can accept it or not.
Exactly, it depend on people because may be bitcoin will not be fine in every business, So the owner will be decided to accept the bitcoin in his business or not.
Also we should accept it, not everyone know about bitcoin, only a few country and only a few percentage of the people who using the bitcoin in their business.

I don't think I need to do anything.Bit coins will be accepted by people, this is the trend of development of the times.
But this is a good chance to promote bitcoins to the business near you and you can just simply offer yourself as a business bitcoin advisor to those local middle level businesses. Since we already know that this will be accepted by people in the future that will be an advantage if you will introduce to them bitcoin by simply explaining them what bitcoin is.
i think not much of the media giving the information about bitcoin because until now, i can not find in any media that talk or discuss about bitcoin. the bitcoin is spread by person to person in my community and not using media, maybe later we will use and invite people from local newspaper when we make a new gathering or meeting.
Rush into their shop with screaming and shouting waving you guns around and tell them to use btc or you will murder their family xP
Nah just joking
Just show them the ease and close to nothing cost of setup and fees. Show them the speed and security. Instead of keeping a tab someone can Eben keep am escrow open with your shop like at a bar for example.

LOL,small cost to nothing setup? Does the gadget cost nothing? the internet? and other device that is use to make the service of accepting bitcoin available. Aside from software you need hardware to implement the project. You also need to setup a special program to integrate bitcoin to your payment processor. There is no question in security but the speed, we all know it is a pain to wait for the confirmation.
You already have those kind of things. Most business have their own computer, has an internet connection, and everyone has a smartphone. You don't have to spend some more money because you have that in your shop by default. I don't know why would you be needing a software though. They just have to scan your QR code and send their payment. The guy on the counter will then check if it was successfully received. Maybe if you want to automate all of these then you'd need to setup a software but for the meantime, you can still do it manually. It's not that much work especially for small scale businesses.

It actually looks easy when we say it but it is really hard to promote bitcoin around you since you don't know if there are any people interested about it, because it may turn wrong for you if you introduced it to someone who is against bitcoin because we know that not everyone in the world like bitcoin like us.
Yes it is like you are selling fish near the shore, where most of the people doesn't have interest at all. But if you will just have a clear talk to the people that has business and able to explain them that bitcoin can be a good medium to their business for accepting orders and payments online. Everything can be done with talks as long you explained it to them, it will stick to their mind.

To encourage some local business to use bitcoin as their payment method is hard, but once you explain to them how big is the advantage of having bitcoin in their wallet for sure they will make it up to you. All you need is just a big and beautiful encouraging words that will for sure persuade them to use this way of payment. And it is all better to make some proof so they will not think that the transaction will be scammed to be trafficked and lead to other’s wallet.
Even local businesses use support, the problem is still the lack of people actually paying with bitcoin.
In some countries the community is very small (just check the activity of some local subforums) and, except for those gaining BTC through mining, the process of obtaining BTC to then buy something from a local business is way more cumbersome than simply paying with a credit card directly.

Of course this is not an easy thing, but I guess if you are that popularity in your place that is going to be a big plus and you built trust in your community.
And you just need to clearly explain to them what is the essentials and benefits that may get if they will accept bitcoins as payment to their products.
Just tell them, there is no need for investment. For this is alternative way of paying and being paid.

Not totally cost nothing but he said close to nothing cost of setup and fees. Still there are some fees and capital is in need. But it is more cheaper than the usual capital that a store owners needs to put out of his pocket. I guess those type of programs are not necessarry for a small shop that accepts bitcoin near you. Because the owner can just implement direct payment to his wallet address.

I am looking to help move BTC forward into our economy more and would like to get some suggestions on how we can get more retailers to accept BTC as a payment. The best part about accepting BTC is that they do not have any threat of charge-back from the customer. I am just looking for some more input before I start approaching some of these local retailers.
Give them insentives. Present the market if bitcoin through peruasing them. Give the the platform, purpose, use, and advabtages of bitcoin in the market. It is very significant for you to do a deeper findings on the maket you are marketing.Doing any of these things wont make bitcoin accepted by a local business at all, because the basic thing that we need to know before starting a business is the interest in people around us, if they are interested about something we can start that business, but without knowing if there are anyone interested about the service we would probably not do that, so if a local business does not find anyone interested in bitcoin around him except you, they wont use bitcoin at all.
