The Convenience of Touch Screen

Touchscreen technology is everywhere nowadays from medical equipments to small gadgets… touch screen is definitely IN!

According to Wikipedia, a touchscreen is a display which can detect the presence and location of a touch within the display area. The term generally refers to “touch” or “contact” to the display of the device by a finger or hand. Touchscreens can also sense other passive objects, such as a stylus.

Anyway, touchscreens started way back in the 60s. It was able to gain visibility through PLATO project’s computer-assisted learning terminal that came out in 1972. Touchscreen technology has been considered as an exotic and expensive technology that is only suitable for use in high-power applications such as air traffic control systems or nuclear power plant controllers. However, due to the touchscreen’s simplicity and universal appeal, more and more people approve of this technology. It has been around for more than three decades but it continues to transform access to complex electronic systems and is now used by both novice and experienced computer users.

What makes touchscreen appealing is the fact that it can be used by anyone regardless of language, education or socioeconomic or cultural background which bridges the gap between today’s sophisticated hardware and the untrained user, making touchscreens far less intimidating than keyboards, mice or trackballs to those who don’t use the computers.

Today, touchscreen devices play an important role in digital appliances such as PDA’s, I-pods, game consoles and mobile phones… so why not have a touchscreen POS and experience the convenience of the touchscreen technology?

Specialty Retail amidst the Crisis

How are we doing? Do we say this economic meltdown is killing us? Or will we say sucks to be you, big powerful corporations? I think people in the specialty retail industry should look into this, which I’m sure they are. It should affect everybody but I don’t see any news on how it affects the carts and kiosks as much as I see effects of the crisis on the large companies. I mean, this mess is said to go on for years and although the emergency policies being set up by governments are great, it won’t hurt to start planning for the long run. Again with the question, what’s up in the specialty retail industry betwixt all the chaos in the global economy?

The only way to foresee any effect of economic change on retail businesses is to evaluate the reactions of the consumer towards it. It is important to note the different customer profiles, demographics, and behavior.

Now, specialty retail feeds on niche markets. This means that profiles, customer preferences, and buyer behavior are more clearly defined. Carts and kiosks sell products that appeal to very specific personalities. It is safe to say that the success rate of these small businesses depend greatly on how consumers feel about the product.

In these times, people may have a tighter grip on their money. Consumers are more careful as to what products to choose over others. It may seem that more and more people choose to purchase useful items rather than luxury items. Surprisingly, although, this is true there is still not much effect on the industry. Some say not yet. We may never know. One thing’s for certain, as long as people are coming to malls, specialty retailers will work their butts off to seize opportunity.

At this point in time, the answer to my first question is, we’re doing okay. We are still here and everything’s fine. It will take time until people start changing their lifestyles and attitude towards the variety of products that this industry offers. Today, it’s fine. Today, we live on.

Don’t look for “cheap”

With economic turmoil experienced by our businesses, you’re probably looking for the best way to minimize cost without laying manpower off before busy months. Here are few ideas that you can adopt based on “How to Cut Small Business Costs” from choosewhat.com.

Eliminate the Fax Machine
If you don’t have a fax machine, it means there’s no paper or toner to use. Typically the monthly fee you pay fax service for is a dedicated phone line, and you have no distance charges. Most companies especially in the specialty retail industry offer separate services for technical support, maintenance and other services that demand additional costs. Companies like LivePOS offer a system that gives a solution that significantly cuts your costs.

Buy in Bulk
As a single business, it won’t work for you. Look for other small enterprises that may be willing to join you, and tie up in a purchasing plan. You can both benefit and take advantage of volume and discounts you wouldn’t be able to get on your own.

Get an affordable and reasonable POS system
Some companies offer cheaper software that is not as good and effective as you should have. They don’t offer ALL-in-One system that you need. When comparing the cost of POS like LivePOS with other expensive systems that requires additional fees for different services, it is easy to see which one is the more affordable and reasonable POS system. Look for the system that offers a complete package that offers everything and looks after the welfare of your business.

Best employee of the month
You don’t need to hire a monkey to create novelty and then pay them with bananas. Avail of the best system and reward the best employee. It shows how efficient and effective your business is. What will be the use of hiring more employees if a few can produce the same?
