Creating a NEED

Paul Jr's picture
How many times in the past have you gone into a store and asked if they accept MC or Visa? If you did this way back in the day when credit cards were the new thing, it was a hit or miss proposition. But now, virtually everyone accepts credit cards. And it's only because the people persisted with the interest and presented a NEED for businesses to accept them, and the businesses responded. So why can't the same thing happen with the Liberty Dollars? It's no different. It's just another form of payment. I'll bet that if all the Liberty Associates got together and began a campaign to frequently call, email, send letters or in person ask businesses on a regular basis if they accept Liberty Dollars as payment, we would start seeing a growing number of Liberty Merchants in NH. How do I know this, because, as a business partner in the martial arts, that's how we determine what services we are going to offer. For example, we don't offer Yoga classes in our school because there hasn't been any sign or a need for Yoga. But I'll guarantee you hands down that if we started getting a ton inquiries regarding Yoga classes, we just might reconsider. Because we are in the business of making money, we are determined not to waste our time and energy offering something that nobody wants. Therefore, I think that the same approach could be taken with the Liberty Dollars. I think that we should start creating a NEED in NH for businesses to start accepting Liberty Dollars as a form of payment. We do this by showing them that there is an interest out there before even approaching them stone cold with the idea. This just might help us increase our chances that they will be more open and willing to accepting the concept when approached. Anyone agree? __________________________

Absolutely!

One of the big reasons I wanted to build this site is so that LD supporters and prospective users can easily see where they can spend them. As the list of merchants grows, we'll be able to point to it saying "see how many of your competitors accept it" and more importantly "yes, there are several places you can spend it".

Guys, That is an angle I hadn't thought of before- having people approach businesses BEFORE the sales staff does! Let's do both- as I approach businesses, if they say yes or no, I'll tell the forum, and those who care about that business' stuff can go there the next week and say, "Hey, do you take Liberty Dollars?!?!" Either way, that will cement more sales! Shuvom
