Wireless Credit Card Terminal To Help Small Businesses Process Payments Easier

Leave a comment

December 26, 2010 – It used to be that a business would need a merchant credit card account and a great deal of equipment just to have the option to process credit card payments. This meant a lot of smaller operations were prohibited by the cost associated with credit card payment processing, especially if they did business anywhere but within a storefront of some type. Now things are changing for these businesses as a new form of Wireless Credit Card Terminal is hitting the market from a company called USBSwiper that focuses on servicing small business owners that need more options for collecting payments for the goods and services they sell.

With this new technology, small business owners of all types are able to take more than simply cash or checks. This is good news in the modern economy where few people carry significant amounts of cash on them regularly and checks are more of a liability than ever before. Combined with the flexibility that the typical small business offers, USBSwiper provides credit card readers that can easily interact with standard consumer grade computer hardware. This adds a whole new level of flexibility for the small business owner that must be able to adapt in order to survive in today’s rapidly changing markets. By having the ability to not only process credit cards in person, but also create professional receipts on the spot by way of a portable printer, business owners now have the option of accepting more forms of payment without a merchant account by using a standard business grade PayPal account. The ease of this combination means that a growing number of entrepreneurs will be part of a new generation of mobile product sellers and service providers who are not tied to any specific geographic location or physical building. Some economists say that this could be one of the most significant changes in business that the world has seen in decades.

The fresh taste of apple livens up the workplace

Leave a comment

Apple is a flavour that most of us love and as a flavour in water it is a real success. Aromhuset has previously developed twenty flavours for carbonated water aimed at private consumers and sold in small bottles of 30 ml. These have achieved great success, and people appreciate the rich flavour as well as the fact that they are totally free from sugar, artificial sweeteners and calories. Apple has been a hot item and now the taste has been selected as one of the six to be released in bottles suitable for the workplace.

The other five flavours being launched in pump bottles are pomegranate – for the sophisticated; raspberry, for the summer lover; blueberry – for the nostalgic; melon – for those who prefer the more exotic; and peach – a soft, sweet, Swedish classic.

It is commonly known that drinking plenty of water is important, and we are told to drink between 1 and 2 litres of water every day – even more if we are active or sweating more than normal. Stressful situations, air conditioned offices and running in the corridors all contribute to an increased rate of dehydration. Apart from feeling weak and sluggish when dehydrated our ability to concentrate decreases and we become absent-minded, something Swedens managers realise are not the best prerequisites for effective staff.

It is easy to forget water. When you start to feel a little slow you head for the coffee machine for some refreshing caffeine. Coffee, like tea, is a diuretic and only contributes to dehydration in the body, meaning you get more sluggish the more coffee you drink. This simply creates an evil circle. Of course we do not need to stop drinking coffee, but developing the habit of always drinking water at the same time is good, and perhaps swapping a cup or two of coffee every day for a glass of water instead.

Regular tap water is perhaps not the most inspiring drink to enjoy at the workplace. That is why more and more employers are choosing to put water dispensers in the workplace, so staff can top up their water levels at regular intervals. These dispensers have coolers so the water will always be cold and fresh, and many of them have a separate tap for carbonated water. With Aromhuset’s essences it is easy to flavour this sparkling water, either with one pump straight into a small plastic mug that you can drink on the go, or with 3-4 pumps in a half litre bottle to take back to your work station. Strand is on the lookout for new importers world wide for his innovative flavours.
