To develop this edge, you need to first and foremost, integrate Credit Card Processing within your business infrastructure.
If you have not yet invested in a merchant account for your business, now is the time to do so. Let me first of all dispel the myth that a merchant account is expensive. On the contrary, if you search hard enough, you'll come across a few, excellent providers out there who offer a great service for a price that works for you. Accepting credit cards is a win-win situation, and following are the ten reasons, why you as a small business must start processing credit card payments:

Increase in Sales: You are sure to witness an increase in your sales volume, owing to the simplicity of the payment process. Sometimes customers just avoid spending because they are vary of letting go of the cash in their pocket.
Capture Impulsive buyers: It has been proved multiple times that credit card holders tend to be more impulsive during their shopping rather than those who carry cash.
The viral effect of more people buying from you: Potential customers may realize that you have a huge client base, with quite a few loyal customers. This again adds to your credibility, making people believe that you are the right store to shop from. So, even customers spending cash tend to turn to you rather than going elsewhere.
Keeps Excellent Accounts: All merchant account providers will provide you with a monthly statement, which will show you your transactions for that month. This is an excellent way to keep accounts.

Sell Globally: With credit cards, you can now do business beyond your country, with international customers readily and easily making payments via credit cards.
Rewards programs further add to the Sales volume: the credit card providers often provide rewards for their client base - some of which happen to be your customer base as well. Thus, their purchases may have an added motivation behind them.
