Greg, I have accepted credit cards for about 10yrs now. I found an immediate increase in customers willing to invest money into their pianos. Regulation, action rebuilds, dampp-chaser installations and other costly repairs are typically paid for by cc. Many families do not have a couple thousand dollars in their checking account to rebuild their piano action when the necessary work is needed but are willing to pay for it in installments over time. I am finding more and more customers are paying for regular service work with their visa debit cards linked to their checking account, checkbooks are being used less and less. I realize that there are those on the list that will raise the "we are becoming a cashless society" and "I will not help another person get into debt" arguments. Their choices are there own. I run a business and will accept any legal form of payment that they want to give me. I highly encourage you to give the credit card acceptance a try. There may be times when you may not accept a card for 2 months, but that is offset with the months when we might accept 15 or 20 card payments.
