Grow Your Business And Beat The Competition With Affinity Member Services
Introduction
Anyone who runs a small business will know how difficult it can be to handle it. At any given time, it can seem as if you’re only a few weeks away from disaster. This can relate to having problems getting customers, the need to buy goods or equipment, or simply not finding the motivation to continue going. Small business owners must routinely deal with these kinds of issues or something similar.
And when you look at it this way, it’s no wonder that many small businesses close within a year or two from the day of being founded. Many small industry players find it daunting to scale their business.
So What’s The Solutions To These And Many Other Problems You’re Facing?
While this might sound trite, the fact is that, you need to learn from other people who run small businesses. Moreover, you must network or make connections with other people who are running their own business. It will give you an edge over your competitors. Not only that, by doing this, you will highly increase your chances of running a successful business. In the good old days, you would join the chamber of commerce or any one of the dozens of associations for small businessmen. Unfortunately, in the 21st century, these types of business approaches are no longer relevant. The world has changed drastically over the last few decades. And that means these associations are old and outdated and cannot keep pace with today’s modern innovations in the business world.
That Is Where We Come In!
But Why Do Small Business Owner Needs These Services , And How Can They Benefit You?
The reason why we offer the above services is simple! In our experience, these are often the most widely demanded tools for your business success. In addition to this, these are often the tools that many small business owners struggle to acquire. With that in mind, here are a few ways the above tools can increase your profits.
Merchant Processing
Your customers may prefer shopping via different payment modes apart from cash or UPI, such as credit cards or debit cards. Letting your customers know that you take non-cash payments is not as easy as putting up a signboard telling them you accept credit and debit cards. First, you must build a network with each card network provider and then set up the necessary processing equipment or software.
That’s where we come in and help you out hassle-free! When compared to traditional pricing structure, Affinity Member Service’s Cash Discount Program is much more profitable. It enables the business owners to leverage transaction fees on to customers if they pay using credit cards. A flat non-cash adjustment is applied in addition to the cost of goods and shown on the customer’s receipt. Our cash discount program helped severalhundreds of small business owners, saving up to six-figures per year.
Moreover, working with the right company to handle all your merchant processing is often a learning experience. After dealing with thousands of small and micro business owners, we learned most of them don’t have a clear idea about the processing fees being charged. These business owners are charged each day when they accept credit card sales.
Apart from that, we also helped small business owners in breaking down the processing charge and made them aware of various pricing models in the market. After signing up with us, the business owners are provided with plug-and-play processing equipment and the necessary signage to notify customers within the location.
Invoice Factoring
Business Text Line
One of the dominant factors in any business’s success is its marketing. If you don’t market your small business properly, you will find it tough to attract customers. Yes, you might still get a few, but not as many as you would need to achieve your business goals.
Unfortunately, most marketing channels are too expensive. It is true when you are advertising in the newspapers, on the radio, the internet, or even when you are simply handing out fliers. Many small business owners struggle to afford these marketing costs, which is why many of them struggle to make money.
Thus the solution is to find a pocket-friendly form of marketing that the small business owners can afford. One of the cheapest and most effective forms of advertising is text messaging. It means that it is possible to increase your reach in almost any type of market by using your phone.
To make this easier for small business owners, we provide something known as Business Text Line. It is essentially a service whereby you can text your customers to market to them your services directly. This way, you can build your customer list, stay in contact with clients, and do it at affordable costs to stay ahead in the competition with other businesses in your industry.
Working Capital
What is the one thing that every business needs the most? It is money! The problem is that finding capital can be extraordinarily difficult for most business owners. Even if you’re an established small business, it can become a huge challenge. That’s why we provide working capital services for businesses. With our working capital service, you get access to the required funding to scale up your business.
Our team can also assist you with government relief. Over the years, we’ve helped thousands of business owners get government relief funding such as Pay Check Protection Loans (PPP) and SBA Economic Disaster Loans (EIDL). We successfully helped our members get the grant funds available with the SBA Restaurant Revitalization Funding Program (RRFP) which was discontinued recently because of an overwhelming response.
