Prepare Your POS System for Christmas
During the festive period, retailers are going to have increased in-store traffic and online purchases. This means a streamlined transaction process is very important.
At GM EPOS Systems, this month’s blog looks at how you can prepare your POS system for the Christmas season. For more information, don’t hesitate to call us in Ireland on 028 6772 1689.
Set Up Christmas Loyalty Programmes
Using EPOS systems can be made easier with Christmas loyalty programmes and special discounts over the festive period. You can use customer information to tailor rewards specifically to their interests and purchase history.
You can also offer one-time deals like seasonal discounts.
Have Your Top Sales Staff Work Peak Hours
EPOS systems can offer employee management, so it will be far easier to schedule your top sales staff during the busiest hours.
Furthermore, POS software means you can portably perform transactions and refunds on the shop floor.
Monitor Your Business Data
Having updated, real time data available means you can better understand your business better. It will show you popular trading times, selling trends and more. Additionally, it also allows you to measure the impact of your marketing campaigns.
You will have the option to extract detailed reports on sales during the specific period, so you can better estimate sales during the holidays.
Keep Track of Inventory
Over Christmas, your stock will be coming in and going out at a fast rate. A good way to stay on top of stock levels is to use your POS system. It will allow you to fully manage your stock without the need for third-party platforms.
You can also see stock levels in real-time and receive alerts when your products are critically low.
Custom Receipt Footers
A simple way to spread holiday cheer and advertise is to customise your receipt footer. Publicise your upcoming holiday promotions or retail hours.
