WE need THEM.
And I know I would not be jumping to signup and use them if they were offering me something extra to do so. Think about it properly. Why would they need to do that?
The good ones have been operating fine without our business.
I have chosen to use CashX. Why?
They answer e-mails / support, have been in business for some time, have insured banks, good load options, have P2P, are not jumping down our throats trying to get our business.
These are the things that people should be looking at. Not what little extra bullshit things they will do for us to "con" us into using their service.
Well my  worth is said.  |
I know this may sound silly to you, but instead of person 1 using place A because of GHI reasons, person 2 using place B because of JKL reasons, person 3 using place C because of MNO reasons, person 4 using place D because of PQR reasons...they could all use place E because place E waived their fees for the first 90 days. It's loss leader, marketing 101, and you're right, it wouldn't be necessarily a "legitimate" reason to use one place over the other but let's face it, if one of these places did something like that, whether that reason is legitimate or not, it would be THE reason MANY people here would go with them.
Oh and btw, by far the largest payment processor online did this sort of thing to get people in the door, and the rest is history. Now almost no one on the planet DOESN'T know who PayPal is because they got the ball rolling by giving people a financial reason to use them. Nowadays, tons of people hate PayPal, talk shit about them and their fees all day long, BUT can't help but use them since most of the planet uses them for mainstream. That's more or less how Epass was, and now they aren't and one of these 6+ new places could take the bull by the horns and get that coveted spot, but none of them are doing that.
Instead, these places don't seem to know any other means of marketing besides spam...that's all I've seen from all of them, unless you call answering people's questions marketing instead of simple customer service/salesmanship.
