Make the Most of your ATM: Use these Tips to Increase Cash Withdrawals
BFC Enterprises • November 17, 2021

Business owners with ATMs in their store earn money from every cash withdrawal. While cash took a beating with the spreading of false information that handling bank notes could spread COVID-19 and the shortage of coins left many businesses unable to accept cash, cash payments have rebounded remarkable well. Today, there is more cash is circulation that ever before and U.S. consumers on average carry $20 more in their wallets than they did prior to the pandemic.

If one of your goals for 2022 is to increase ATM transactions and impact your revenue, there are some relatively straightforward things you can do to get the results you’re looking for.

Location, Location, Location

Where you choose to place your ATM is one of the most important considerations a business owner can make, as it can make or break your terminal’s success. There are a few things you should consider to achieve the best results:

  • Visibility - Do your customers know you have an ATM on site? One of the easiest and most effective ways to increase transactions is to increase the visibility of your ATM. The machine should be placed in a high-traffic location that is easily accessible and is visible by customers as they enter and exit the business.
  • Safety - It’s crucial to do everything in your power to keep your customers feeling comfortable and secure. Placing the ATM in a well-lighted part of the store - not hidden away in a back corner - have clear pathways with visibility on all sides, and monitor of the area via video will allow customers to feel safe using the ATM.
  • Access - Can customers easily access your ATM? To increase transactions, make it easy for customers to access it by ensuring it isn’t blocked by boxes, display racks or other items, or hidden away out of sight.
Marketing Your ATM to Increase Awareness

Is the ATM your business’ best kept secret? Increase transactions by making the most of your marketing and let customers know you have an ATM on-site.

  • Signage – Inexpensive pump and door decals, window signs, backlighted signs and external flags will increase awareness. If your business has permanent signage that can be customized, don’t forget to advertise the ATM on that too. Having signage on the top of the ATM can help draw attention to it as well.
  • ATM Branded Wraps – Make the ATM stand out with a colorful, affordable wrap. No matter if your ATM is wrapped with your logo and company colors or the logo of a local financial institution, studies show wrapped ATMs build credibility and increase transactions.
Optimize Your ATM for Success

While you may not cash load or service the ATM yourself, ensuring it doesn’t run out of cash and receives regular maintenance can help increase transactions. Studies show consumers are creatures of habit and use the same ATM on a regular basis. If the ATM is reliable, it can quickly become the ‘go to’ machine in the area and help you attract new and repeat customers.

If you do load cash and perform first and second line maintenance, it is imperative to keep it full of cash and working at peak performance. Using the tools, such text and email alerts for low cash volume and errors like bill jams, provided by your ATM vendor can guarantee the ATM runs smoothly.

Increasing marketing efforts and making a few adjustments to make certain the ATM is visible to all customers, can help you achieve your goals to boost transactions, increase revenue and attract new customers to your business.

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.

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.
