Benefits of Having ATM in Your Businesses
BFC Enterprises • December 3, 2022

Originally published by Market Business News

If you own and operate a business with a physical address, getting an ATM machine may not have crossed your mind. But what many people don’t realize is just how lucrative this can be. You may be missing out on a potential business asset that will bring a lot of money in! 


Save on Credit Card Fees

Credit card companies charge a convenience fee every time a customer completes a credit or debit card transaction. If your profit margins aren’t as good as you want them to be, this extra fee can seem like a lot.


That’s why you want to encourage customers to pay in cash. With an ATM in your business, customers may think twice before taking out their credit card. After all, who wants to deal with credit card payments and a dent in their credit score?


Attract Customers Who Value Safety

If there are other places where you can withdraw money, would you choose to withdraw somewhere there’s no one around? It’s not unheard of for people to get mugged after withdrawing money from an ATM. That’s why as much as possible, people choose to withdraw cash where there can be potential witnesses.


So, if your retail business has good lighting and surveillance, consumers are more likely to stop by. Apart from the convenience fee you charge, maybe they’d even pick up a few items before going their way. 


Just make sure that the ATM is visible. This way, even those who haven’t been in your store will know you offer this service.


Improve Customer Loyalty

People are creatures of habit. For example, if you go on a coffee run every morning, you probably go to the same coffee shop and even order the same coffee.


In some ways, ATMs can also have the same effect. People are more likely to withdraw cash at the same place because it’s familiar. If they know it’s safe at your business, expect them to withdraw money from your ATM regularly.


Increase Average Customer Spending

The most obvious reason to get an ATM is the convenience fee you can charge for using the machine. But not all people will just withdraw their money and leave! Odds are they’d also purchase something.


Having cash fresh from the ATM encourages people to purchase more. It can also encourage impulse purchases because customers believe they have more money to spend on miscellaneous items. Even small purchases can add up to significant amounts.


No matter what type of retail business you own, having an ATM can be beneficial to your bottom line by drawing more traffic, encouraging cash sales, increasing profits, and allow you to earn additional income each month.

That's exactly why partnering with BFC Enterprises to select and manage your amusement games is a smart move. You get expertly matched equipment that maximizes fun, keeps customers engaged, and hits your revenue goals, without any of the guesswork or hassle. Game Selection Backed by Real Experience BFC Enterprises has spent decades placing games in all kinds of business environments. We've seen what works in shopping centers versus family restaurants. We know which games draw teenagers at youth sports facilities and which ones keep adults entertained at bars while they wait for their food. When we evaluate your location, we're looking at your customer base, your foot traffic patterns, and your available space. We're thinking about who's walking through your doors, how long they typically stay, and what kind of entertainment matches their vibe. Then we match game styles to those factors for optimal performance. You shouldn't have to figure this out through expensive trial and error. We already know what works. Maximize Play and Profit Here's a truth every business owner should know: not all amusement games perform equally in every location. Some games get tons of attention and consistent play. Others just take up space. We use data and hands-on experience to choose games that will actually get played. We place the ones that grab attention, generate consistent activity, and deliver the highest revenue return. This means more passive income for you without spending months testing different machines to see what sticks. Think of it this way: we're not just dropping random equipment in your location and hoping for the best. We're strategically placing proven performers that match your specific environment. That's the difference between a few extra bucks a month and a meaningful revenue stream. Regular Rotation Without the Hassle Even the best games can get stale after a while. That's why we don't just set it and forget it. BFC Enterprises actively monitors game performance at your location. When we notice engagement dropping or when there's an opportunity to refresh things, we rotate games to keep your customers interested and having fun. We also select seasonal prizes that keep people playing longer and coming back to see what's new. The best part? You don’t have to track any of this yourself. We handle the strategy, the swaps, and the prize selection. Your customers stay entertained, and you keep earning, all without lifting a finger. Full-Service Support You Can Count On When you partner with BFC Enterprises , you're not just getting equipment delivered and left behind. You're getting complete, ongoing support. We handle compatibility issues, maintenance, prize stocking, and repairs. If something breaks, you're not scrambling to fix it or figure out who to call. Our team takes care of everything while you focus on what you do best – serving your customers and running your business. This is truly passive income. No headaches, no technical problems to solve, no wondering if you picked the right equipment. Just steady earnings from games that work. The Bottom Line Adding amusement games to your location is a smart way to increase customer engagement, extend dwell time, and create an additional revenue stream. But only if you choose the right games and manage them properly. When you partner with BFC Enterprises, you get the best-performing, highest-return amusement setup – customized specifically to your business and your customers – without any of the work. We bring the expertise, the equipment, and the ongoing support. You bring the space and the customers. Together, we create more fun, more engagement, and more profit. Ready to get started?
