I occasionally shop at a local Taiwanese-style milk tea and snack shop. I've done small talk with the owner before, and I'm thinking he may be willing to accept Bitcoin, if I sell the concept well.
I was thinking of starting by printing out a "We Accept Bitcoin" sign, and telling him that there are a number of Bitcoin enthusiasts in the area, who would be more likely to visit his shop when the word gets out that he accepts Bitcoin.
If that makes him interested, I would then show him some documentation from a Bitcoin merchant service provider that shows how easy it is, and how low the fees are. Before I start the presentation, I need to have some answers ready, such as:
- How would the word get out? usebitcoins.info? Are there others?
- Who's the best merchant processor? BitPay?
- Can you think of anything else he might ask?
