Topic: I now accept bitcoin payments in my Beauty shop - page 5. (Read 1140 times)
is a pretty good way to do some small adoption in the bitcoin ecosystem. Accepting payments using bitcoins is a step that is quite challenging for some business people today, but this is something unique and quite interesting. Besides, you also need to provide education or some instructions on paper to tell how to make payments using bitcoin. You also give 10% discount for payment using bitcoin it will be even more interesting and maybe some new people will start to try it.
Congratulations. Accepting BTC is a great step in getting more involved. Accept it, mine it (or mine shitcoins and trade for BTC immediately with a GPU), spread the word, and keep stacking! Physical shops accepting Bitcoin is what this community has needed for a long time. The only Bitcoin accepting shop I've ever seen was on a trip to Vegas, and even that implementation was questionable and not functioning most of the time. I hope someday I'll be able to use real BTC on chain to make actual purchases in person. So far those opportunities are few and far between.

Yes, I’m counting on that possibility. The good thing about a girls beauty salon is there is a lot of chatter, I’m already having conversations with those interested in bitcoin, not surprisingly many think bitcoin is a ponzi. I’m glad I debunked that yesterday.
Great work there @SatoPrincess, the discounted price is sure good marketing for luring your clients to pay in Bitcoin, I would like to suggest having a printed instruction on how to pay in Bitcoin and placing it near where the Bitcoin Accepted Here banner is placed. This will save you lots of time explaining to the client that is new to Bitcoin.
Congratulations Satoprincess every week we see more people adopting bitcoin payment in their business. It’s encouraging to see more posts like this. You are on the right road, 10 percent discount is a lucrative idea to draw more customers even if they don’t know how to use bitcoin. They might learn just to benefit from the discount price. Good one OP
I like with your mindset how to advertising and promoting Bitcoin around your local city, accepted Bitcoin for payment currency with your beauty shop I think have more contributing not only take care with women beauty but also you have promoted with Bitcoin for all your local city.
You get advantage when accepting Bitcoin not only as worth investment fund but also promoted Bitcoin and give education for your beauty shop costumer about how important and benefit earn when investing assets in Bitcoin.
Hope your beauty shop can be popular at the future and all your costumer are happy with Bitcoin payment accepted, but most important you can give best service for your costumer.

Congratulation Princess, it is a good deed you started initiating this service to the female beauty saloon and i believe through the discount you placed would probably inspire them the more to take courage on how to put efforts to begin the class concerning how they could start using bitcoin to make payment for them to enjoy the discount starting from 2023. I would want you to put efforts on how to create their wallet, how to purchase bitcoin from a trusted exchange like Binance since i know Binance exchange is more common to us in Nigeria to fund our accounts, then lastly, the importance of their phrase, private key and passwords. How the network works and operates so that they could know which network is best suitable for them to use and operates on.
See you all in 2023!
See you all in 2023!
A good way to end the year, and to kick off next year. I am really proud of the number of persons from this forum who have adopted and implemented payment in bitcoins into their business. More persons will follow this track by next year. You are a quality member of this forum @OP, I am confident in your ability to be able to manage this new development. I am sure that other forum members like myself will be interested to read about the outcome of this new inclusion in some months and how it is has affected your business, plus the challenges you will handle.
Best of luck!
Thank you. I’m proud of myself too. I wouldn’t have had the courage to do it now if it weren’t for the increasing number of members here that have successfully done so and have good results. Best of luck!
This is a good marketing strategy, in my opinion. But don't you get another 10% extra if you accept fiat? So what's the benefit of you adopting bitcoin when in fact you will lose 10% every time your customer pays you in bitcoin?
I hope the discount will be limited, say your first 10 - 20 customers since adopting bitcoin as a means of payment. I'm so curious, what are your advantages of adopting bitcoin as a means of payment instead of fiat?
You’re partially right, I may lose 10% profit so to speak but I boost sales and gain a stronger customer relationship. This is common business practice, I would normally give discount at the end of the year. This year is different only because the discount are only on bitcoin sales. Also the discount isn’t limited to a number of customers, I plan on running it for a month straight. I hope the discount will be limited, say your first 10 - 20 customers since adopting bitcoin as a means of payment. I'm so curious, what are your advantages of adopting bitcoin as a means of payment instead of fiat?
Congrats on trying that out. It's believed that in Nigeria there is a high rate of BTC adoption so it's still good.
I wonder why you only have decided by this year end when you could have done it a few years ago. Every woman has a male benefactor either thier father or a boyfriend willing to spend top dollar for the beauty of thier girl. Who knows women have thier BTC wallet installed on thier phones already.

Thank you. Bitcoin is popular here because for one it is a good way to hedge the inflation of the naira. However I don’t agree “ every woman” has a man who’s paying their bills, many women are financially independent and live on their own terms
Despite the fact that your customers are predominantly female, and like you said BTC knowledge is not common amongst them, it might get some of them interested and learn about BTC from here; and from what i know women like going to the beauty and cosmetic shop with their lovers, and we know who usually pays 
, so male Bitcoiners might use the option of BTC to pay for their partners in your shop. Good Luck.

Congratulations! You did it right in giving 10% discount to customers paying for your services in bitcoin. That will surely increase awareness and interest from the community for btc. Hopefully you will be the responsible channel for introducing many women to crypto universe through your beauty shop business in Nigeria. I advise you placing a "step by step" banner on your shop teaching people how they can acquire bitcoin and send transactions. That 2023 may be the year of bitcoin adoption in your community and the year of bitcoin profits in your business!
I placed a 10% discount for those who pay in bitcoin and that I think that move prompt my clients to begin asking how they can do so.

I think there’s no harm in trying to inculcate bitcoin as among the payment methods in your business. I think it’s a plus and always great to have various methods in which a customer could pay for services rendered. I also love the fact that you’re giving out a 10% discount on services if payment is made in bitcoin.
If I could get any form of discount to pay with bitcoin, I know I would jump at that opportunity. I think the discount given would also help stimulate peoples interest in bitcoin even if it’s a little.
You assume a lot of your clientele, which are females, aren’t familiar with bitcoin. Your assumptions may very well be wrong.
It’s a good thing you’ve put up a sign saying you now accept bitcoin. Now watch how many of your clients will indicate some sort of interest. I’m sure it would amaze you.
Good luck in your business.

There is hope for bitcoin. It doesn't go unnoticed. Your clients will be curious to know about bitcoin sooner than later because you are indirectly programming their subconscious mind to think about bitcoin. I'd advice you do a pamphlet that explains the basics of bitcoin, what it is all about and how to use it. Teach your staff about bitcoin so that they can also educate the clients when they ask a question about bitcoin. This is a step in the right direction.
For sure their husbands know about bitcoin if not then I think they already researching about it online. Whats the best with having bitcoin as a payment method is it will attract other people like I will try to go to this beauty shop and have my nails done and then ill ask about bitcoin. So what I suggest is that don't get stressed with the people who don't know it since I am sure one of your customer know it also your existing customer will really try to learn about it since it has a discount lol
With time, they will come around it and may likely embrace the option more than fiat.
I don't believe so, BTC payment option is more of a second choice, i don't think there is anywhere that BTC payment would be embraced more than fiat.
I wish you the best of luck in working with your business's creative thoughts. According to your commentary, women have no experience about Bitcoin. They are also very keen to gain experience from you. I thank you very much for the many interests you and them have expressed. If you can work with such thoughts like yours, Bitcoin will surely move to a much better stage in the future and there will be Bitcoin's reign. Now if there is no improvement in your business, if you can educate them in Bitcoin education, of course you will be able to be succesful at one time. You keep working hard will never give you a waste.
it was a great decision and idea and deserves appreciation, bitcoin needs a lot of adoption so that bitcoin can be used as a means of payment besides using cash, to be honest in my country it is forbidden to use any payment except using official currency 
The people living in places where the government are not very strict against bitcoin are making use of the great opportunity to propagate the message of bitcoin.
Anyone that has the opportunity to teach or learn bitcoin should do because the future is very bright with bitcoin.
Congratulations SatoPrincess for accepting bitcoin in your business, the customers might not embrace it immediately but it will surely be a success.
This is awesome to end the year. And today is the last day of the year. As a cosmetic shop which is not general to everyone but specific to women, and women who use bitcoin are not much in Nigeria compare to the male counterparts. But one thing I will also advise you to do is to place advertisement banners in social media and billboards around the cities close to you. There are some females that are using bitcoin are unknown but with your advertisement they will be informed to come to your shop. This is how the process will begin and work for you. Congratulations for kick starting bitcoin shop in you local area.

Through the year 2022 we had good level of cryptocurrency acceptance into businesses. In particular we were able to see good number of Bitcointalk community members started to accept bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies into their businesses. This could've given good exposure to bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Through our forum members more people knowing about bitcoin is really good and a must one. Over the year more users have taught people about bitcoin to people who doesn't had knowledge about bitcoin. More good things have happened through our forum and happy one more person adding cryptocurrency as payment into his business.
Congrats on trying that out. It's believed that in Nigeria there is a high rate of BTC adoption so it's still good.

With daily transaction? and with volatility being present? I doubt. Ofcourse there would be more people to choose fiat especially those who are just not into investments and online payments.
Yeah. Bitcoin value is very volatile which makes it very hard to use as payment method in daily transactions. Imagine if you have 100$ today and you will need it tomorrow for your necessities purchase worth 100$. There’s a chance that you can’t purchase your target items which is why fiat is still the best payment method on daily transactions.
The only plus side on OP business was it’s a cosmetic business which means people doesn’t purchase it on daily basis. Her customer has a time to purchased Bitcoin as payment for OP and leave some coins for there next purchased.
