3 Reasons Why Small And Medium-Sized Businesses Should Consider Digital
(BPT) - In today’s digital world, there’s an
app for that - whatever “that” may be. Devices
like smartphones and tablets are becoming
the dashboards of our lives. Depositing a
check? Snap a picture of it and tap the button
on your bank’s app. Does your son or
daughter at college need money? Transfer it
electronically. Forgot to pick up milk? Hop
online and order it. Fueled by smart technologies,
mobile devices and 24/7 connectivity,
the way consumers browse, shop and pay is
increasingly digital.
For small to medium-size businesses (SMBs),
that can present a challenge. This year alone,
280 million Americans are expected to go online
every month, according to eMarketer research,
and Pew research estimates that eight in ten
Americans will make an online purchase. Yet,
according to research by Visa, less than half
of SMBs have an online presence.
As digital commerce continues to expand,
SMBs that don’t jump onboard risk being
left behind. In an effort to understand more
about what consumers want from SMBs, Visa
and a consortium of partners surveyed more
than 400 SMBs and nearly 2,500 consumers.
The result is a guide on how SMBs can
grow their businesses in an increasingly digital
world: “Digital Transformations of SMBs:
The Future of Commerce.” It offers actionable
tips for technology and digital upgrades
that SMBs can implement to help grow their
businesses, including a “how to” on digital
payments, marketing and advertising tactics,
new service considerations and customer
loyalty programs.
Consumers expect it, but you’re not offering
it. While 90 percent of consumers say they want
to support small businesses, there is more to the
story. Consumers still expect convenience,
and today, that means digital offerings. This
creates a big problem for SMBs, whether they
realize it or not. Visa’s survey found that only
15 percent of SMBs sales are conducted via
digital channels, yet 61 percent of consumers
surveyed plan to increase their online
purchases in the next 5 years. That represents
a significant gap between what consumers
are planning and what SMBs are delivering.
It may help the bottom line. Moving, storing
and securing cash, checks and money orders
takes valuable time and is also subject to fees,
losses and theft. Based on survey responses
collected from SMBs, Visa estimates the
surveyed SMBs’ average cost of processing
digital transactions was 57 percent less than
cash transactions. This, based on annual sales
volume, number of cash versus digital transactions,
and processing costs for digital and
cash payments (inclusive of direct expenses
and labor costs).
Consumers want digital loyalty plans. Only
one in five SMBs surveyed offer a loyalty
program, but rewards can drive consumer preferences.
Seventy-eight percent of consumers
say they’re more likely to choose a business
that has a loyalty program, and of those, most
say that they check out the programs before
trying a service, a restaurant or a store for
the first time. Every SMB knows that differentiating
themselves is a key to success; a
loyalty program is an excellent way to stand
out from competitors. Why do a digital loyalty
program and not, say, a paper punch card?
Because nearly all consumers surveyed - 90
percent - prefer digital.

of SMBs: The Future of Commerce”

get started.
*References to consumer and small business
preferences are based on findings from the survey
Digital Transformation of SMBs: The Future
of Commerce. Survey was commissioned by
Visa and conducted by a third party research
firm, Maru/Matchbox, during February and
March 2018 and administered in English to
U.S. 425 small and medium size businesses
with storefront or at home business in food/
dining, retail, services and grocery industries,
and 2,458 consumers taking into account balanced
income, age and regional representation. •
