Why Cash is Still King and 5 Reasons Your Business Needs an ATM
BFC Enterprises • May 18, 2021

Despite false reports early in the pandemic that handling cash could spread COVID and dire warnings that cash’s days were numbered, the opposite happened. According to , CashMatters.org , multiple reports show the pandemic resulted in the largest increase of cash in circulation since the 2008 financial crisis.

What does this mean for your business? It means consumers are holding more cash than ever before and they are prepared to use it on goods and services.

So, why not give them access right where they shop? Here are 5 reasons why adding an ATM is a smart move:

1. Reduce Chargebacks & Processing Fees

By offering customers convenient cash access, you’ll reduce expenses in the form or credit and debit card processing fees. Not to mention saving time having to deal with chargeback issues. Combined with a , cash discount program , having an ATM on-site can help you increase your profit margin by reducing expenses.

2. Increase Sales

Convenient cash access helps to increase in-person sales. According to the , Javelin 2020 Health of Cash Study , 40% of customers who use an ATM in a store will spend half of that cash withdrawal right there.

3. More Foot Traffic

Some people may need an emergency cash infusion but don’t have time to go to their bank or credit union. If you are a go-to location for cash, you’ll benefit from increased foot traffic and profit from increased sales as well.

4. Convenience is Caring

According to the , Retail Customer Experience report, 60% of all transactions under $10 are paid with cash and 40% use cash for transactions between $10 to $25. Having an ATM in your business not only makes it convenient for consumers, but you are also boosting customer satisfaction.

By giving consumers easy access to cash, statistics show you’re also increasing your chances of increasing sales and providing a service that will lead to customer loyalty. Show customers you care by giving them the benefit of easy cash access.

5. Passive Income Stream

Having an ATM on-site provides retailers with an additional opportunity to earn income. While there are a variety of business models available to retailers, in most cases having an ATM on-site is free to the business owner and completely hassle-free. You benefit by earning a percentage of the surcharge-fee income and offering a service your customers will appreciate.

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?
