We’re quickly moving into the holiday season! Many of you have been using the QuickBooks Point of Sale (QBPOS) system for a while now while others have implemented the system as recently as this month. With all of the holiday frenzy and shoppers a buzz, it’s a crucial time to make sure you are ready for this busy season. It’s also highly advisable to develop a rapport with a knowledgeable and friendly QuickBooks advisor so that when you need assistance, you have a trusted resource handy.
Some questions to consider:
1. Is your staff properly trained to use the QBPOS software? QBPOS has a practice mode that allows users to practice using the software without affecting the actual system and data. No transactions are actually recorded. We also offer onsite and remote training so that you and your staff know how to manage the various types of transactions and QuickBooks functions. If the staff isn’t comfortable and correctly trained in using the system, neither your company nor customers will benefit. As we know, most shoppers tend to be a bit impatient and you don’t want to lose their business due to untrained or improperly trained employees.
2. Are you offering gift cards? You can process gift card transactions easily, increase store traffic and sales encouraging more repeat business, and let’s not forget that they make a great gift, especially for shoppers who don’t know what to give or need to make a quick purchase. Gift cards never go out of style.
3. Does your customer loyalty or rewards program need fine tuning? You want to build relationships with your customers and ensure profitability.
4. Do you have plenty of receipt paper, pricing labels and tags? This will not be the time to run out and have to wait for a delivery, or pay expedited shipping costs.
