I have found that food truck operators that have the ability (and familiarity) to use an electronic payment system, are often really eager to hear about bitcoin. I'm guessing those guys aren't too picky about their customer base, but we got a snowball stand and a cupcake truck to accept btc after kicking it with the owners a bit. To be fair, they were hipster (not saying this as a slight, but a indication they are familiar with current consumer technology) but hey, adoption is adoption.
its normally happen,even people who have good knowledge about internet payment,they not easy to accept bitcoin as part of their payment,the problem is they too afraid with regulate of goverment to bitcoin.

If the business is sending money to other country.
Than I think is good to tell them that Bitcoin is a solution because is faster and cheaper.
faster,cheaper,low fee and anonymously. its benefit for long distance or undirect transaction with bitcoin,yes i think so,bitcoin easier to use in online transaction,its why not easy to encourage people who have real store or direct transaction to accept bitcoin, Than I think is good to tell them that Bitcoin is a solution because is faster and cheaper.
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.
not easy to encourage local and small bussiness to accept bitcoin,the only one should you do is getting closer to the owner,tell them about bitcoin,and tell them some reason that bitcoin would make their bussiness better.
I have accepted bitcoin 1 time for my business. Not many people really still know about btc.
I think it's hard to convince a local business owner to accept bitcoin as payment...bitcoin would always look strange to them.. Probably we can't convince them if their mind is close about accepting this currency..But, if they themselves are collecting bitcoin and investing in it then the chance that they will accept it is big..I think one of the easiest one to convince are those selling computer parts and other electronics, they have access in internet for sure and has an idea what is bitcoin...
start a tv channel about bitcoin and the possibilities are endless, you can start a gaming show where the person answer questions right, go inside a bitcoin mining factory and explain the ins and outs, make a music video about bitcoins. if you think my idea can grow it would be grateful to send a tip.
Bit coin is alive because of public support and till this support remains the bit coin will keep spreading .
That is right. I told my family and friends about bitcoin, one of them have bought and used bitcoins.

Well if you have a website then this is a good idea since you can send bitcoin through online but if you have a local store and thinking about bitcoin as a payment then you're crazy **no offence** 
Local business needs to adopt bitcoin. The better method I think is just to implement the bitcoin in small scale logistics industry, as more of various country people get involved in business. In such the transaction can be made faster with less transaction charges.
my friend has a coffee bar and i talked to him about bitcoin, for him it's too risky, but i convinced him to receive btc from me when i buy a coffe, for the moment he is happy whit the 0.05 made from my coffess
True, lokal businesses are interested in the lokal fiat. They don't want to have exchange it and get later lessfiat for the same amount of Btc. Or become scammed during trading and get nohing at all.
the fact is that this guy loved bitcoin from the first transaction, but if you run a local business it's to risky due the volatility and also because in my country few people use bitcoin
That is also the one reason but the most important reason is until government dont take initiative and accepts Bitcoin Technology , the Local or big business peoples cannot accept bitcoin as they cannot show the business through bitcoin in their Income Tax. and if some country are banned for Bitcoin use then it become illegal business also. so where their is clear picture about bitcoin in that country the peoples and business people can take benefit of Bitcoin Technology
I aggree thats a huge block..I think local bussineses are afraid,unaware and skeptical on bitcoin, thats why they dont see bitcoin on their advantage. I think it will be easy for local businesess to accept bitcoin if their will be a huge and consistent consumer of bitcoin and goverment will have the initiative and support bitcoin.

first they need to know what is it and how it works,once they'll have enough info i'm sure that they will start accepting them
It would be a little difficult. most of their capital is fiat, but if we educate them about bitcoin, and they are convinced then they're in.. but I think it needs to start from their boss, if the boss is open to bitcoin idea, then its good..
Going to the boss and trying to implement the bitcoin in his business. As a part in your region you can start a small business that accepts bitcoins so that when days pass you will be benefited and automatically surrounding business people will adopt it
That is true... we should be the one who should start it in our community..a small burger stand or a mini store could be a good one.

Thing is, that a lot of people still use normal money and not bitcoins, so i don't think they would accept bitcoins for 5 persons
