The holiday season can be a stressful time for small business owners. Especially for local merchants, who are busy preparing for a surge of customers in search of the perfect holiday decor or unique gifts for family. It can be difficult to find time to reflect on what this season is truly about with seasonal specials and end of the year sales to prepare for. We view the holiday season as an opportunity to give back on the local scale. At CynergyData Texas, we support several non-profit organizations in our community of Round Rock, as written about here. It may seem difficult to include ‘giving back’ on your to-do list during such a hectic time, which is why we provide a solution that helps local people support local causes without adding stress to the staff.
DonateWiseNow®, exclusively offered by CynergyData Texas, enables business owners to build bonds in their community. It’s available with your terminal or can be part of an integrated solution with your POS software. During the sales interaction, the customer will be prompted to give a small amount, just a few bucks, to a charity of the business owners’ choice. There is even the option to round the sales total up to the next dollar amount, because everything adds up.
With DonateWiseNow®, you get an online merchant portal to track donations, with the ability to change or add charities, which will all be vetted and signed for by us. You can support up to nine different charities of your choosing, on the local or national level. This solution is much more effective than setting a donation box alongside the cash register because a.) the majority of customers will be using credit or debit cards and b.) it can be very awkward for sales employees to solicit donations!
It’s a win-win solution. Your customers will be able to get to know your business and its mission while giving to a local cause. If you are a small business owner who would like to help the community connect with local non-profit organizations this holiday season — call us today to get started with DonateWiseNow®.
