If you’re an avid reader of the takepayments blog (if not, where have you been?) you’ll know we harp on a lot about the value of customer loyalty and the importance of building it. That being said, customer loyalty is not something you can pluck out of thin air or develop overnight, it requires effort on your behalf but trust us, it’s well worth it.

Deciding whether your business needs a website or not can be a tricky choice to make: While it is possible to run a successful business without a website, the simple fact of the matter is that in 2021, it’s never been more important to invest in a website for your business. 

Us Brits are a nation of takeaway lovers, and never more so than during the past year or so. We needed to get our top-quality, effort-free food fix, and since eating out was off the menu, ordering in boomed. The food service delivery market is valued in the region of a whopping £8.5 billion and experts don’t expect this trend to go anywhere, any time soon, even once the country fully re-opens. 

The world of payments has evolved significantly over recent decades with safer and more convenient payment methods being introduced and overtaking the popularity of traditional routes. For example, with face-to-face transactions, we’ve shifted from cash to magnetic swipe to chip & pin, and most recently contactless and mobile payments have taken the crown as the consumer payment method of choice. 

When you think about running a business, receipt printing probably isn’t the thing that springs to mind first. It might not be the most exciting element of business ownership, but it’s an important one. While you’re under no legal obligation to offer receipts in the retail sector, many customers still want proof of purchase, so failure to supply one could land you in an uncomfortable position, potentially dealing with an angry customer.
