Today, a variety of smarter solutions are available. Now you can remotely monitor the copy count from behind the counter, reset the copy count, or even turn the copier off. Customers prepay for the exact amount of copies, then automatically shut off the copier. Either way, the merchant only has to deal with the customers once. It prevents the customer from escaping payment and they can't take the "copy key counter." New coin mechanisms reliably accept US and Canadian coins, including the $1 coin, and $1, $2, $5, $10” and $20 bills. More importantly, the new coin mechanisms hold as much as $108 in change. ”Easycard” systems offer yet another solution for a business wishing to build repeat customers Easycard systems sell for less than half of the cost of the best coin mechanisms. They also offer a tremendous marketing advantage. Preprint the copy cards with your store logo and address with a free value for as little as just one dollar. Then distribute them to every prospect in your service area inviting customers into your business. As customers come in to redeem the free copies, you can add value to the cards or sell them new ones with a larger dollar value. For larger more regular customers you can even provide volume discounts. Debit cards are very inexpensive and may be discarded after their dollar value is used up. Rechargeable cards cost more initially, but they can be re-valued almost indefinitely. Either way, the Easycard systems will build customer traffic. The latest edition of the Easycard systems is called ”SmartPrint.” It is perfect for the library or print shop operating PC workstations. With ”SmartPrint” you can operate a print for pay service where by the customer can select and pay for a variety of printing services directly from the computer. In addition, time on line may also be charged | |
