The Best POS Printers to get your Small Business through the Holiday Rush!
We're now in the thick of the holiday season, and one of the most exciting and stressful times of the year is upon us: gift buying time! While many people have no doubt already finished much of their holiday shopping, a larger percentage of people still have plenty of gifts to grab-- in fact, one study discovered that 51% of Americans wait until Christmas Eve to purchase holiday gifts!
During one of the busiest times of the retail year, it is more important than ever to keep your store or small business running smoothly and customer wait times as low as possible. The last thing you'd want is for a customer to leave all of their items behind once they see how long the line is!
Having the right equipment can mean the difference between your retail business selling the bare minimum this holiday season and having a truly lucrative end to the year. One of the most important considerations you'll have is whether to purchase new POS equipment to help improve sales flow-- which is why today we're here to tell you about two printers that can truly transform the check-out experience for your customers: the Epson TM-T88VI and the all new Epson TM-T88VII.
What Makes the Epson TM-T88VI and Epson TM-T88VII POS Printers Stand Out?
The Epson TM-T88VI and TM-T88VII are truly in their own category when it comes to ease of use and the ability to transform a customer's check-out experience. This is largely due to the printers' ability to utilize multiple interfaces at once, something not possible in any of the earlier TM-T88 models. This feature can be truly revolutionary, and that's not an exaggeration!
What This Means for you: Imagine a situation where you have customers all ready to check out their purchases at the same time. Perhaps at your small store, you only have one check out counter and one receipt printer. How will you keep customers from getting antsy with the long wait time? With a traditional printer that is only capable of using one interface at a time, you would be out of luck. However, if you have a TM-T88VI or TM-T88VII, you have other options!
Picture this: While you add up a customer's items at the counter, one of your employees has the ability to check out other customers from anywhere else in the store-- yes, even with just one receipt printer! Your employee could use a simple app on an iPad or phone to check out the customer, and then can print their receipt to the same printer you are using, even if you are currently printing the receipt of the customer you are serving.
If you have more than one receipt printer, that's even better! Using the TM-T88VI and TM-T88VII's NFC (Near Field Communication) feature, when you check out a customer from anywhere in your store, their receipt will automatically be printed from the printer closest to your current location. Cool, right?
