There is so much gloom and doom in everything you hear or read about with todays tough economy. Spending a little can help you weather the storm if that money spent is in good POS/Retail Management Software. This is a repeat of a blog I did a year ago, but it is even more relevant today. See if this equation would work for you:

If your Retail Store did $500,000. in yearly sales, you could, according to industry averages, add 15% to your Bottom Line with quality POS Software.

Theft and Shrinkage	2%	$10,000.
Prompt and accurate statements	1%	5,000.
Accurate inventory pricing     At time of sale	1%	5,000.
Built in sales prompts	1%	5,000.
Mishandled & inaccurate     Inventory counts	2%	10,000.
Retail Stock Ledger reporting     Better turn rates, sell through &     margin comparisons	2%	10,000.
Targeted Marketing     {know the Buying habits of your      customer and target market}	1%	5,000.
Web Shopping Cart	5%	25,000.
		________
You could make this		$75,000.

For an investment less than $250.00 per month, you receive POS software, support, upgrades, web shopping cart and web hosting.
