Can I please encourage everyone to use cash. Not just with me, but when supporting any small business.
With the rising cost of absolutely everything, I am really trying not to increase my prices. So I am looking to see where I can save spending. Card transactions is my biggest outlay other than my rent! Last year I spent over £2000 on bank charges. As well as charges, money can take up to 5 business days to hit my bank account, if that’s over a weekend it will be up to a week. This can cause cash flow issues.
I am as guilty as anyone nipping out without my purse and tapping my phone. However, when I am buying from an independent shop or craft stall I always make sure I have cash. The smaller the business the harder bank charges can hit.
Because of the reasons above my card machine will be retiring and I will now only be accepting cash or bank transfers. I’m so sorry for any inconvenience however, I can not justify the outlay.
Thank you so much for your understanding and continued support ❤️❤️❤️
