This is going to be tough, especially when trying to convince old folks that are computer illiterate.
thats true, one of the main reasons why people dont accept bitcoins because it is connected with computers and they dont use it even though it is really easy 
Topic: The Best Way To Encourage Offline Store To Accept BTC (Read 2623 times)
This can be challeging but, i have tried the strategy below:
walk into any offline store i.e (restaurant) and ask one of the staff that you will like to speak with the the management of the restaurant.
Most people will direct you straight to the management, other's might want to know the reason behind such request.
just be prepare for follow-up response;
If, you are given the opportunity, open your presentation in this manner;
I'm interested in promoting your services/product's on bitcoin related forum!
Do you know you'll be losing 35%-45% of your customer's (tourist) who uses bitcoins?
At this point be prepared to tell them more about bitcoin.
Close your presentation, try to be brief as possible.
Remember to make reference to bitcointalk forum, because it offer's more information (foundation) with comprehensive lesson about bitcoin & the use of bitcoin.
Creation & distribution of short flyer's with same message will work fine for those who dislike meeting one-one with the management of offline stores.
Thanks

"35%-45% ofyour cistomers who uses bitcoins"?This is a little bit unrealistic.
I don`t think that 35-45% of the people use bitcoins.
I don`t think that the bitcoins users use btc to buy stuff offline.
@davis196"
...Do you know you'll be losing 35%-45% of your customer's (tourist) who uses bitcoins?.." it's just a marketing or promotion term to attract attention of the person. The figure of those using bitcoin offline may be less.
well,thanks for that observation

Just tray to say any experienced sales people/restaurant managers, that they loose 35% potential customer if they will not accept your service, and most possible they will just smile and say goodbye. 
that wont help most probably, i actually tried emailing a few cafes telling that a lot of young people are actually using bitcoins so they should accept it but i got ignored 
@potatopower, email's donot work. I've tried both(emailing & talking directly to store manager) so far i recieved few positive response with the second method but, all my messsages which i have sent via email where probably ignored or deleted by the store manager's.
I suggest direct talk (one-one ) with the store manager. You can fix an appointment with them.Tell them it's something that will be beneficial to their business. Do this in business manner.
*Donot not give them the impression that this could be another time waster telemarketer because there are whole lot of them.Doing so will make them decline the request of meeting with you.

Pretty nice thing to do if someone actually follows it, The bad part would be the probable embarrassment and social awkwardness if they are totally not interested, The technical part would also be difficult but I guess they could just use coinbase and have the person send the BTC at the checkout spot.
well its a good thing that you want to encourage local store to accept bitcoin, however i dont think bitcoin is ready for this thing the one that become problem is the transaction speed, which sometimes can take few hours to confirm, and there are a lot of people who doesnt know about bitcoin so its hard to implemented bitcoin system for now

In my country(especially in my city) most of the store owners and restaurants are less educated and they do not even like to adopt banking system for their stores and restaurants etc, so it will be workable in highly developed countries as there I can see that they accept ATM cards etc, so they will also give a place for bitcoin.
What you're saying is, you live in a city full of dumbasses. I didn't realize there was anyone from Detroit on this forum. Welcome.
@QuestionAuthority, is just contribution from Bestwishes745. Although people from is location may have little or no knowledge about the use of computer & e-currency today but, that does not mean people from such area's would not embrace the use of such currency if, proper awareness are created by those of us who are into btc trading. Instead, i think Bestwishes745 need's compliment for his effort for doing what an average person will not do.

This is going to be tough, especially when trying to convince old folks that are computer illiterate.
The best way to encourage an offline store to accept BTC is to give them some belief that they'll be getting more sales from accepting it. You have to give them either the desire to gain or the fear of loss, and in order to get them to accept some additional forms of payment you have to give them the desire to gain. As long as you can prove their sales will increase, they will more than likely be more interested.

I wouldnt want a physical store to accept Bitcoin until another alternative to waiting for a confirmation comes out. Maybe when the lightning network is finished?
Your statement... (35%-45%) Where did you get those numbers?

Personally i don't want to spend bitcoin somewhere besides online unless they offer discounts if we pay bitcoin.
But sure it good to see local stores accepts it and other cryptos as well. That means people may be dependent to the internet by that time too.

That is really a nice suggestion, with that they will be attracted more to the system we provide as they will get a free advertising , but only those offline stores will accept that deal who will have knowledge about online business and will have good knowledge about digital system.
i think you should just call them and then email and if that does not help just repeat it over and over again
Nice tips but I doubt alot of people would do this though.
Pretty sure that if they did do it then it would help, I mean store owners want money doesn't matter what kind aslong as they could convert it to their own preferance.
That was not really a good idea though. Pretty sure that if they did do it then it would help, I mean store owners want money doesn't matter what kind aslong as they could convert it to their own preferance.
Attempting to say to the owner of the store 'you can lose 35%-45% customers because of something' is obviously fishy enough. I doubt managers would even want to entertain that kind of start up presentation.
