Topic: How can we encourage local businesses to accept BTC? - page 88. (Read 185049 times)
I did consider it, however, I live in a rural area - no one here accepts btc, so that's why I decided against helping a friend who owns a pizza place. I figured, if it failed on him, and noone used it, he might be mad at me. Rather not do that kind of thing to friends, just me I guess... Would have been cool to be like the first place in like 200 miles to accept it officially tho.
More information is the key to succes.
Please should be come aware and thus should we create awareness.
From there businesses will feel the ruge to join, because they are miss out.

If there is a demand from local customers paying in BTC, the merchants will accept Bitcoin as soon as possible. The problem is we don't have local Bitcoin community! How could we encourage them to accept it? The firs thing we should do is to encourage more ppl adopt Bitcoin before encouraging local businesses!
Yeah we need some team that handles the information and marketing part of bitcoin. The more the merrier.
It's time to realize we can make this work.. together..

encouraging local business to accept BTCwould be much way harder than encouraging them to invest on BTC
the best way to encourage them was to create the greatest store which they will recognize, and shows them that you are
accepting BTC as the payment method.

If you the customer have to be the one to persuade your local business to take bitcoin, that's a sign that it's not ready to go big yet. It's got to be a no brainer.
More promotion material and more information about bitcoin is the key.
Let people learn about bitcoin themself and they will be sold eventually. The same thing happened to me.

Nice thought brother..
Try to teach them(retailer shops, or any shop keeper) by btc as an worldwide online currency..
Tell them advantages of them..
And if he/she gets interested then automatically he/she will learn by themselves and will start accepting btc..

I own a Internet cafe Business here in the Philippines and i got a big banner outside that i accept bitcoin as mode of payment. earning 1M to 2M satoshis daily from few printing jobs.

That is the very good effort. Young people tend to accept new things faster and better than old people.

I will also be into internet cafe later and will provide cellphone loads using coins.ph. I'm thinking if you get to have 50 people inquire about mobile loads, it could spread the word while you earn extra through the rebates.
Bitcoin banner outside will do help and also the text provided by coins.ph will probably help bitcoin's exposure to the locals.

I feel small independent business are crucial for growing bitcoin the more small companies like these that get involved can only help to spread the rise of bitcoin as a household name. It would be so much easier if some of these places accepted bitcoin and we as a community need to help spread the word.
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.
Tell them what bitcoin is + tell them how to use it.
Tell them the benefits of Bitcoin. E.G. They don't have to pay VAT for sales made through it.
Show them ways to encorporate it into their business, such as: making programs that validate purchases for them so it is easier for their staff to use.
introduce and teach them to use prospective employees using bitcoin, if he is interested in let's say you're going to pay for it with bitcoin if he follows everything you say about business would you do, explain the language of cool, maybe he will be interested 
Just offer them a service like bitpay where they get extra sales and you earn on selling the coins realtime (conversion).
For them it's a win so they will accept it.

@OP First I appreciate your effort to help bitcoin enter in to the day to day life by trying to to make it acceptable by the local business people.
I think the only way is to make them aware of the best two advantages of bitcoin payment like easy way of sending and receiving money and it's irreversiblity in a personal/group and practical demonstration.

I'm a retailer, i'm in south of italy. Accepting bitcoin is cheaper than Credit card ( here we pay a fee not less that 1.5% per transaction on CC , but usually pay about 2,5% 
). So i hope that customer pay me in BTC ... But simply customer usually doesn't know what is bitcoin!!!!!! So first i think is important to make use of BTC easy for all people, then paying pizza or buying Gold Ring (in my shop hope 
) with bitcoin will be the same as pay them with credit card or cash.
Me too have difficult on bitcoin world, because this is full of tecnical word that was really difficult to understand (blockchain, hashrate, miners, block etc. ) ! People are afraid of unknown so they prefer to pay a little bit more for use somthig really simple to understand as a credit card..

When the bitcoin price rise, it will be reported in main stream media. Local business owners might see the reports and try bitcoin.
So far the media are not exactly behind Bitcoin. Most bitcoin related news is negative not objective and sometimes even false.
To encourage local businesses we should trigger and approach them.
The reason news outlets don't portray Bitcoin in any positive light, is because of the fact that most news outlets are indirectly controlled or influenced by government. We are passed the "laugh at them" phase, and now they are trying to remain on the "ignore them/discredit them" phase, before they have to embark on the "join them" phase.
Until more people can see the benefits from a limited, digital, and p2p verifiable currency; then the government still finds them self not feel as threatened. When you start seeing major celebrities, or other influential people start supporting Bitcoin and our cause, by "tweeting" about it and celebrating it on social media, then that's when you'll start seeing some backlash from government.
