			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://harlequinade.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/cash-register-keys.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1400" title="cash-register-keys" src="http://harlequinade.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/cash-register-keys.jpg" alt="" width="240" height="160" /></a>If you run a store you know all too well how much people value speed and efficiency when you&#8217;re making a sale. You need both your staff and your hardware to be the best you can find. But technology&#8217;s a fast-moving target and you need to keep up.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Once the sale happens your customer expects to get served and be on their way in a blink, but a lot of POS hardware is not up to the job. Epson, however, may have just what you need &#8211; Their new <a href="http://www.posmicro.com/epson/tm-t88iv.htm" target="_blank">tm-t88iv</a> thermal printer can create two-color receipts with more clarity and speed than their peers, and at less cost that you&#8217;d think.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Getting an edge on your competition is the best way to win, and the brisk buying experience this printer can give you could be just the incentive they need to make your customers talk. Just check it out and you may feel the same&#8230;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Emails can be deleted with a click, their contents unseen. But an envelope in your hand is far harder to treat with such shallow concern. Most of your competitors go the email route, so if <em>your </em>brochures are tactile who&#8217;ll win the prize?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And it&#8217;s not just brochures – The better online stores offer catalogs, door hangers, <a href="http://printdirectforless.com/" target="_blank">postcard printing</a>, business cards and dozens more ways to get your message noticed &#8211; and turn your competitors green.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">New sales are the lifeblood of all business, and what some less insightful people might tell you is &#8216;old-fashioned&#8217; tech can still score more new sales than you think. Check out your options and you may soon be convinced&#8230;</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">But many store owners have found something as simple as a good <a href="http://www.creativedisplaysnow.com/Default.aspx" target="_blank">cardboard display</a> can make that task a lot easier. Present your wares to your buyers in an attractive setting and the temptation to reach for the wallet becomes wonderfully strong. You can even get your display custom-made to increase the allure.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you own a store, a few dollars invested on an attractive display can repay you a hundred times over. That link is one source, but browse around and see what you find.</p>

You need to save cash on your <a href="http://www.cleansweepsupply.com/" target="_blank">office supplies</a> or wherever you can, but that comes with risks; The stores with low prices don&#8217;t give decent service, and the few stores who do are too costly to use.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">And shopping online for such vital provisions can almost be Russian Roulette; Who <em>knows</em> what you&#8217;ll get in that box&#8230;And what if you can&#8217;t send it back?? There are bandits out there, but Clean-Sweep-Supply is not one among them. Look for yourself &#8211; You can do a <em>lot</em> worse.</p>
