Pricing after the surcharge ban: how to lift prices without upsetting customers

November 2, 2026
4 Min read
P

Since 1 October 2026, Australian businesses can no longer add a surcharge to payments made by eftpos, Mastercard, Visa or American Express. For a lot of independent retailers, that small line at the bottom of the receipt covered a real cost. The cost hasn’t gone anywhere. You now have to recover it another way, and fairly.

We know of many retailers where the loss of the surcharge has hit hard. This blog post bring together advice for these retailers. What you do needs care.

Customers are paying attention. Online forums are full of complaints about businesses using the ban as cover for bigger price rises, or renaming the surcharge a “service fee” or “platform fee”. The ACCC has said plainly that businesses must not mislead customers about why prices changed. Get this wrong and you lose more than a few cents a sale.

Start with your actual card cost

Before touching a price, be sure of what acceptance costs you. Get your merchant statements for the last three months and calculate the effective rate: total fees divided by total card sales. Include terminal rental and any monthly minimums.

Many retailers find the true figure is lower than the surcharge they used to charge. If you charged 1.5 per cent but your effective cost is 0.9 per cent, a 1.5 per cent rise across the board isn’t cost recovery. Customers will notice, and some will tell you so.

While you’re at it, call your payments provider and ask whether your plan still suits your volume. Lower interchange caps are part of the reform, so it’s reasonable to ask how they flow through to you. If your POS lets you choose your payment provider, you also have room to shop around.

Lift prices selectively, not evenly

A flat percentage increase on every product is the easiest change to make. It’s also the easiest one for customers to spot. Use your sales data instead.

  • Leave known-value items alone. Every shop has products customers know the price of, like a newspaper, magazine, cat food, dog  – the everyday item people notice. Keep these steady. They anchor your price reputation.
  • Lift where you add value. Gifts, specialty lines, exclusive ranges and items that need advice carry less price sensitivity. A small rise here is rarely noticed.
  • Round sensibly. Moving $9.40 to $9.50 is gentler than moving $9.95 to $10.20. Price endings matter more than most think.
  • Review slow sellers separately. If nobody is buying it, a price rise won’t help. Decide whether it belongs in the range at all.

Your POS software should show you sales by item, category and margin. Sort by units sold and margin together, and the safest places for a modest increase stand out quickly.

Protect trust with how you communicate

Skip the sign apologising for higher prices. What you need is staff who can answer honestly when a customer asks.

  • Don’t tell customers prices rose “because of the surcharge ban” unless that is accurate and proportionate.
  • Remove all surcharge references from counter signage, invoices, receipts and your website.
  • Weekend and public holiday surcharges are not part of the card ban, but they must be clearly displayed if you use them.
  • Brief your team on a simple, truthful line, such as: “We stopped charging card fees, and like everyone our costs have gone up, so we have adjusted some prices.”

Find margin outside the shelf price

Pricing is one lever. The retailers who handle this well tend to look at their buying, their mix and their shrinkage at the same time.

  • Buying. Check supplier invoices for cost increases you haven’t passed on. Many shops absorb supplier rises for months without noticing.
  • Mix. Promote higher-margin lines through placement and counter displays. Changing what customers buy can do more than a price rise.
  • Shrinkage (theft). Every item that walks out unpaid is lost margin. Tighter stock counts often recover more than the surcharge ever did.

What to do now

Work out your effective card cost. Pick twenty known-value items to hold steady. Then look at your highest-margin categories for a small, considered increase. It’s a morning’s work, and it beats guessing.

If you want to see how sales and margin reporting can make this easier, Tim and Justin at Tower are happy to talk through your shop’s situation. Call 1300 662 957 or email sales@towersystems.com.au.

Retailers: Stop worrying about the economy and work on your shop instead

August 20, 2026
2 Min read
R

There is a national conversation about retail that runs almost constantly. Interest rates. Household spending. Cost of living. Vacancy rates on the high street. It is loud, it is relentless, and for an independent retailer it can be demoralising.

Here is the uncomfortable part. Almost none of it can be controlled from behind the counter.

Retailers worry about the economy. They worry about rent, about the shopping strip, about the town, about whether centre management understands what independents are dealing with. Those concerns are reasonable. They are also, without exception, outside the business. Time spent on them produces anxiety and very little else.

The more useful question is the internal one. What can be done inside the four walls this week that makes the business measurably better?

Where is stock sitting too long? Which lines are quietly carrying the shop, and are they being backed properly? What mistakes are being repeated because nobody has looked?

There is a case, too, for the shop as an oasis. A place where the negative talk is left at the door, for the sake of the staff as much as the customers. Nobody walks into a shop hoping to be told how bad things are.

None of this is wishful thinking. Businesses in towns that are, by any measure, doing it tough are trading well right now. They are not waiting for conditions to improve. They are using their software to find opportunities, cut errors and make decisions faster and with more confidence than their competitors. The local economy did not change. The way the business was run did.

That is a practical distinction rather than a motivational one. A retailer who knows which twenty lines drive their gross profit buys differently to one who does not. Automated replenishment means empty shelves stop costing sales. Watching margin movement week by week catches a supplier price rise before it erodes a whole season. Every one of those is an internal decision that asks nothing of the economy first.

The external noise will continue regardless. It is not going anywhere, and no amount of worrying will shift it. The business, on the other hand, responds to attention almost immediately.

Tower Systems supplies POS software to specialty retailers across Australia and New Zealand, built locally and supported locally by people who understand the trading conditions being described. Locally made. Locally supported.

Advice for retailers on chasing genuine savings: what Retailer AI does to the weekly workload

August 15, 2026
3 Min read
A

AI in retail gets discussed far more than it gets used, and most of the discussion is about possibility rather than the specific, dull tasks that consume a retailer’s week.

The Tower Systems software has had AI tools embedded since 2022. They now carry a name, Retailer AI, and they are aimed squarely at those dull tasks.

The Ai tools we offer cover so many areas now. Here are just some of them …

Supplier invoices

This is where most retailers find the largest single saving. It’s the easiest to access saving too.

A supplier invoice arrives as a PDF, an Excel file or a typed Word document, and traditionally someone keys it in line by line. Cost prices, quantities, retail prices, item after item. On a large invoice that is an hour or more, and every line is a chance for a typing error that later becomes a pricing error.

Retailer AI reads the invoice and imports it.

The saving is partly time and partly accuracy. An invoice imported correctly means stock on hand is right, cost prices are right and margin reporting can be trusted. An error introduced at this point travels a long way through a business before anyone notices it.

If an invoice does not import cleanly, it can be emailed to Tower Systems, where the team works on making that supplier’s invoices import easily and accurately in future.

The other tools

Product descriptions. Writing headings and descriptions for online listings is slow work that most retailers put off. Retailer AI drafts them, which helps stock get found in search.

Price comparison. Checking pricing against other retailers without spending an afternoon on it.

Replenishment ordering. Generating an order without working through a long, multi-step process.

Theft detection. Flagging transaction patterns worth a closer look.

Business insights. A plain-text end of shift summary comparing the day with recent trading, in place of a stack of reports.

Where the savings land

Retailers using the tools report saving between five and ten hours a week. The figure varies with the business and with how many of the tools are in use.

Hours are the visible saving. Harder to count, and probably worth more, is the effect on decisions. A decision made sooner, on complete and accurate information, tends to be a better decision.

There is a financial point worth noting too. Retailers choose their own AI model, whether ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini, and control their own AI spending directly. Tower Systems does not sit between the retailer and that access, and does not add a margin to it.

Getting started

Begin with invoices. It is the clearest saving and the easiest to measure. Time one invoice keyed by hand, then time one imported, and the comparison makes the case on its own.

Add one tool a month after that. Trying everything at once rarely sticks.

Book a training session. The tools are included in the software, and the free training covers how to use them.

Retailer AI is available across the specialty markets Tower Systems serves, including newsagents, jewellers, bike shops, garden centres, bookshops, pet shops and toy shops.

Retail advice: The business is telling a story: use the software to hear it

August 14, 2026
3 Min read
R

Every sale processed through retail software leaves a record. Over a year, a small shop builds up a detailed account of what its customers actually did, as opposed to what the owner remembers them doing.

In our experience, there is often a disconnect between how people talk about the performance of a business, suppliers to the business or products and the actual performance as reflected in the data collected by the POS software. This disconnect can cost the business plenty of money through ill-informed decisions, slow decisions and more.

Memory versus the data

Retailers form impressions on the shop floor, and impressions are shaped by whatever stood out. A difficult customer. A busy Saturday. A supplier rep who visited last week.

The data is not swayed by any of that. It will show a department that has quietly declined for eight months, or a range everyone assumed was working and was not, or stock bought in March still sitting there in August.

The floor view and the data view work best together. A retailer with both is well ahead of one relying on either alone.

Where to look first

Dead and slow-moving stock. Usually the fastest return in the whole exercise. Cash tied up in stock that has not moved for six months is cash unavailable for stock that would move. Most retailers running this report for the first time are surprised by the total.

Department and category performance over time. Not this week against last week, which is mostly noise, but this year against last year, by department. Trends take months to show themselves.

Basket composition. What sells alongside what. Products that sell together should usually sit together, so this answers merchandising questions directly.

Trading by day and hour. Rostering and opening hours often rest on habit. The data settles the argument one way or the other.

Supplier performance. Which suppliers deliver stock that sells, and at what margin. That is a different question from which rep is easiest to deal with.

Customer behaviour. Who returns, how often, and what they buy on the second visit.

Making it a habit

Reporting only works when it is regular. A protected monthly hour in the diary does more than an occasional deep dive.

Start with one report and understand it properly before adding another. A retailer who acts on a dead stock report every month is ahead of one who runs twelve reports and acts on none.

Write down what the numbers prompted, then check next month whether it worked.

The Retailer AI tools in the Tower Systems software help here. An end of shift summary in plain text compares the day with recent trading, in place of five or six pages of reports. Other tools flag what is selling, what is not, and what the business appears to be missing.

The shift that matters

Retailers who work from evidence buy differently. They quit dead stock earlier and back winners harder. They also stop defending decisions the numbers stopped supporting months ago.

No new technology is needed for any of this. The software is already in the shop; what changes is the habit.

Tower Systems software includes extensive reporting, and training on how to use it is free for the life of the subscription.

All set for Reed Melbourne gift fair

August 8, 2026
3 Min read
A

We are all setup and read to go for the Reed Melbourne Gift Fair, which starts today.

On our stand we will be demonstrating the very latest in POS software for gift shops, jewellers, garden centres, newsagents, toy shops, music shops, bookshops and more.

This is smart POS software. Melbourne made. Melbourne supported.

Gift retail has its own rhythm. Seasonal buying, one-off suppliers, products that need good photos and descriptions to sell online. Our software is built for that. Supplier invoices load in around 30 seconds. AI writes product descriptions and SEO content for you. Reports come with plain advice on what to do next. It connects with Shopify, BigCommerce, WooCommerce and Xero, so your shop floor and your online store stay in step.

If you are walking the fair with buying on your mind, five minutes at our stand could save you hours every week back at the shop. Bring your questions. We like the hard ones.

What sets us apart we think is the help behind the software. Our help desk is in Australia, staffed by people who know retail, and training is part of the deal rather than an extra. When you call, you speak with someone who understands what a busy Saturday in a gift shop looks like. Plenty of the retailers on our software came to us from bigger-name systems where they felt like an account number.

AI is doing real work in our software, and it has been since 2022. We call it Retailer AI, and it draws on Gemini, Claude and ChatGPT inside the POS software itself. A typical business saves between 5 and 8 labour hours a week, worth $175 to $280 at a $35 an hour pay rate. One retailer used it to find more than $10,000 in dead stock. There is plenty of AI hype about at the moment. This is not that. It is invoices loading themselves, reorders drafting themselves and reports that tell you what to do next.

The Melbourne Gift Fair is the best week of the year to see all of this in person. Bring a sales report or a supplier invoice from your own shop if you like, and we will show you what the software does with it on the spot. No script and no canned demo. If you cannot make it to our stand, book a free demo and we will bring the software to you after the fair.

What’s one key thing retailers tend to forget when considering Point of Sale software that if they had considered it, it would make a big difference?

July 1, 2026
2 Min read
W

Today, let’s look at one thing too many retailers do not consider when looking at POS software and it is one thing that could make the world of difference to the value they harvest from using the POS software.

What to look for when choosing POS software

Choosing a POS software company deserves more scrutiny than most retailers give it. A polished website or a free hardware deal can look attractive upfront. Neither tells you much about what happens once you are a customer.

Customer service is where it counts

When something goes wrong mid-shift, a retailer often needs to talk through a problem before they can clearly describe what they need. That kind of back-and-forth is how the real issue gets identified. A chatbot cannot do it. An email queue rarely can either.

Some POS providers have removed phone contact entirely. For retailers who think better in a conversation, that creates friction — and it tends to show up as wasted time rather than anything that appears on a quote.

Tower Systems keeps the line open

Clients can reach Tower Systems by phone, email, or chatbot. Contact details for the leadership team go to every customer from the start, so there is a clear path for anything that needs more than a standard reply. Call us and see for yourself how easy it is to speak with someone.

Before signing, ask the basics

Is the support team local? Do they know standard retail terminology? Do they work in the same time zone? A scripted offshore call centre and a direct conversation are not the same thing, and the gap becomes obvious the first time something urgent needs fixing. Personal service matters when it comes to helping retailers since retail is personal after all.

Support is part of the cost

A POS system that is difficult to get help with ends up costing more than it looked on paper. Retail runs on relationships, and the relationship with a software provider is one a business relies on most when things are not going well.

Tower Systems has supported independent retailers across Australia for decades. Visit towersystems.com.au to find out more.

Small Business Retail Advice The Digital Deadbolt: Why Current Software is Your Best Defence

April 11, 2026
3 Min read
S

Retail has changed. In the past, security meant a sturdy lock and a loud alarm. Today, your front door is digital. Cyber attacks are no longer just a problem for big banks. Local Australian retailers are now primary targets.

Not having up to date software in your business is a serious security risk.

Criminals often view small businesses as easy marks. They assume your defences are dated. They hope you have neglected your digital maintenance. This is why keeping your retail software up to date is vital.

Closing the Windows

Think of your software as a building. Every outdated version is an unlatched window. Software developers constantly find new vulnerabilities. They release updates to “patch” these holes.

When you skip an update, you leave a window open. Hackers use automated tools to find these openings. Once they are in, the damage is swift. They can lock your files or steal your records.

Your Duty to Your Business

You have worked hard to build your shop. You have invested years of effort and capital. An unpatched system puts all of that at risk. A single cyber attack can stop your ability to trade for days.

The cost of a breach is high. There are forensic costs and potential fines. There is also the cost of lost sales while you are offline. Staying current is a simple way to protect your investment. It is a fundamental part of modern business management.

A Promise to Your Customers

Your customers are your neighbours. They trust you with their names and contact details. Often, they trust your system with their credit card information. This trust is the foundation of local retail.

You owe it to them to keep that data safe. If your software is old, you are not fully honouring that trust. You are essentially leaving their private information exposed. Using the latest software version shows you take their privacy seriously.

Stability and Performance

Up-to-date software offers more than just security. It provides stability. Old software often struggles with new hardware or operating system updates. This leads to crashes at the busiest times.

A stable system ensures a smooth experience at the counter. It helps your staff work without frustration. It shows your customers that your business is professional and efficient.

Taking the Lead

Cyber security can feel overwhelming. However, keeping software current is a task you can control. Make it a habit. Set aside time each week to check for updates.

Talk to your software provider. Ask them about their latest security features. Ensure your team knows never to ignore an update notification. These small steps build a strong wall around your business.

The retail landscape will continue to shift. Threats will become more complex. But a proactive approach to your software will keep you ahead. Protect your shop. Protect your customers. Update your software today.

The right POS system or website for any retail business depends on the specific needs of the business. Tower offers POS software and websites made specifically for local small business retailers in a selection of retail channels.

POS software total cost of ownership: let’s price compare Shopify POS with Tower Systems POS

February 1, 2026
4 Min read
P

When selecting a point of sale (POS) system, many independent retailers focus on the initial monthly subscription fee. While the entry-level price is easy to find, it rarely tells the full story. To understand the actual impact on your profit and loss statement, you must consider the total cost of ownership. This figure includes the software rental alongside the ongoing cost of processing every transaction your business makes.

Understanding your total cost of ownership is vital, it’s worth doing the homework for this can save you thousands of dollars a year.

The Shopify POS model

Shopify is a well-known name in the digital space, and its POS software is often a starting point for those looking for simplicity. For a standard monthly plan in Australia, the base cost is approximately $56 if paid monthly. Over a full year, this totals $672 for the software alone.

However, the software fee is only part of the expense. The significant cost lies in transaction processing. For a typical gift shop or specialty retailer in Australia with an annual turnover of $750,000, transaction fees are substantial. At a rate of roughly 1.95% to 2%, a retailer would pay approximately $14,625 in processing fees annually. When combined with the software subscription, the total cost to use the platform reaches $15,297 per year.

The Tower Systems alternative

In contrast, specialty retail software like Tower Systems operates on a different financial structure. For the same business, the software rental costs $2,820 for twelve months when paid monthly.

Tower Systems does not charge a fee per transaction, a tax some might call it.

The primary difference is in how payments are handled. Tower Systems allows retailers to use various EFTPOS processing partners. On an average rate, processing $750,000 in sales would cost approximately $7,500. It is worth noting that many retailers are able to negotiate even lower rates, potentially reducing this figure by another 25%.

Based on these average figures, the total cost for the Tower Systems software and transaction processing is $10,320 per year.

Comparing the bottom line

When you compare these two real-world examples, the difference is clear. Choosing the specialty retail software saves the business $4,977 annually compared to the Shopify model.

This calculation only covers the direct financial costs. It does not account for the specific retail features built into Tower Systems that may not be available in a more generic POS platform. Furthermore, the value of accessible, human-led technical support is a vital consideration for small business owners who cannot afford downtime.

Making an informed decision

A saving of nearly $5,000 a year is a significant amount for any independent business. It represents capital that could be reinvested in inventory, marketing, or staffing.

Retail is personal. When you evaluate technology, take the time to look beyond the marketing headlines. Speak with the people behind the software and ensure you have all the facts before committing. Prices and processing rates do change, so it is important to verify current figures at the time of your decision.

By being thorough in your comparison and focusing on the total cost of ownership, you can protect your margins and ensure your technology serves your business effectively. You can learn more about these specialty retail tools at www.towersystems.com.au.

Small retail business advice: ignore negative news and commentary from big retailers

March 7, 2025
3 Min read
S

Big retailers dominate news about the economy as if they are the best indicator on how things are going, and boy do some of them complain.

Just the other day a big retailer spokesperson was getting media coverage about tough economic conditions. It was all negative talk, which does nothing to nurture confidence.

Here at Tower Systems we only serve local small business retailers, independent retailers. From where we sit we see plenty off good news, local retail businesses growing, plenty innovative, lots of positive results.

Small retail businesses are often more nimble than big retailers and this is important in changing economic conditions. Many small business retailers have learnt the value of targeting metrics beyond topline revenue.

The gross profit. Targeting GP% growth per sale, a business can achieve more with less. This relies on the business adjusting what it sells such that the GP% achieved in each basket is higher than the previous average for the business.

If you grow business GP% by, say, 3% and overall revenue by 1% the bottom line benefit to the business would be considerably magnified compared to no change in GP% and 1% revenue growth.

Retailers can think of GP% growth being achieved by buying better, which, for sure, is true. Often, there are opportunities for a small increase when pricing items to build in better margin. Knowing what you can sell a product for is valuable, especially if that figure is higher than what you have traditionally sold the product for,

The other opportunity here is stock turn. Working inventory to turn faster is a terrific bottom line benefit.

There are many growth opportunities in indie retail channels, many opportunities to achieve good growth in revenue and in gross profit percentage performance.

How do we achieve that?

Look at your current sales data, look for green shoots, indicators of opportunity for you. In a retail newsagency these are typically in cards, magazines and stationery. Sales in these departments can indicate opportunities outside of them, maybe in new areas for the business, better margin areas for the business.

The reality is that there will be more tough economic news and negative reports about retail. You can choose to watch that and worry, or you can create the retail experience that is an oasis of happiness, a place locals enjoy and are happy to spend. Every day, choices you make in your business determine this.

If you do what you’ve done every day for years, your results will be what you are used to. I think indie retailers can do much better than that.

What is a POS system and how can it help my retail business

February 10, 2022
3 Min read
W

A POS system is software that helps a retail business manage sales, manage stock and more. A POS system is a solution for a range of challenges in running a retail business.

A good POS system is one that serves the needs of the business, offers facilities that play into and serve the unique needs of the business … because different types of retail businesses have different needs.

If you go for a generic POS system, you will only get generic facilities and specialty retail businesses often need much more than generic solutions.

It is also called a POS system because in addition to the POS software there are processes to follow, guidance of which to be aware. These things make it a system, a collection of processes, advice, data points and software combining to make it a system, to ensure it offers value to the retail business in which it is used.

Tower Systems is an Australian software company that develops software for retailers. Our software, our POS software is a good POS system for each of the types of retail businesses using the software. Tower Systems backs the POS software with training, support, advice and data access to make it a system, a POS system. This is the solution, the POS system  for garden centres, bike shops, jewellers, toy shops, bookshops, landscape gardeners, music shops, newsagents, farm supply businesses, produce businesses, charity shops, serving shops, haberdashery and fabric shops, pet shops and more.

This is specialty retail software backed with training and support that makes it ideal for each of these niche businesses – that’s what small business owners using this POS software say.

From helping to manage dy to day operational workflow in a retail shop to managing business data to uncovering opportunities that otherwise may have been missed, our POS system provides a business more than is common in the POS software space – including helping you to transact with suppliers.

Beyond the day to day of transacting sales, the Tower Systems POS system uncovers opportunities, revealing data that can guide better quality business decisions … and this is our goal, to help local small business retailers make better business decisions, to make their businesses more valuable.

Business value matters in small business retail because for many small business retailers value is only realised when it comes time to sell the business. Our software helps leverage opportunities daily, thanks to smart reporting and insights brought to the fore through our POS software.

Tower Systems offers help to retailers to systemise their use of the POS software, to maximise value. We do this based on decades of experience, leveraging the wonderful knowledge shared by so many of our customers – for which we are sincerely grateful.

Advice for small business retailers: helping employees understand where the money goes

April 6, 2021
3 Min read
A

It is easy for employees in a local retail business to think the owners are rich if all they have to go off is the money paid by customers to the business. In this article, we share an an approach on how a local retail business can better inform employees. Here is an information sheet we have seen work well in the back room of a shop as it explains each dollar.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES

Where every dollar we get from our customers goes.

Every dollar paid to us by our customers and put in the til or through the credit card terminals gores somewhere and quickly. Some of it goes right away, some of it in a few days and most of the rest by the end of the month.

Some of the money we are paid goes before we get it – like for stock we pay for before it arrives in the shop.

This graph shows where every cent of every dollar we earn goes.  The stock cost is the average cost of items we purchase. Some items cost us 90% of what we sell them for while others cost us 20% of what we sell them for. This is why we are using the overall business average for this illustration.

Based on our current numbers our profit is 4%. But we don’t get to keep that: we have borrowings to service, we don’t receive a salary for our time and any profit is taxed by the government.

We buy stock for the best price possible but with the price of many products we sell controlled we need to work elsewhere to improve things. This is why we look carefully at the roster. Even one hour saved can be like selling $100 in stock.

The best way to help the business achieve better results is for us to sell more of our stock to existing customers and for us to attract new customers.

We’d love your help in encouraging customers to buy more. You can do this with excellent displays, helping customers on the shop floor and giving customers awesome customer service.

We’d also love your ideas on attracting more shoppers.

Please don’t think we’re putting this notice up to cry poor. We share the information to give you a better understanding of what happens to each dollar we get from our customers because we believe that the more information anyone has the more informed their actions can be.

What does Australian small business retail look like in 2021 in this COVID-19 world?

June 19, 2020
3 Min read
W

It is challenging to predict what the future of retail looks like. Even for the back half of 2020 there are so many factors at play that could up-end any prediction. 2021 is even more challenging to consider. But, hey, let’s have a crack at that, let’s consider the information we have learned from talking with hundreds of retailers across multiple niche retail channels over recent weeks and well as from talking with many suppliers to these retailers.

Absent a vaccine for COVID-19, retail challenges remain ahead of us. Border closures, immigration stalled, trade shows paused and the supply chain itself slow … these are all factors to consider along with what has actually happened over the last three months.

Here are our thoughts on themes we think will matter in 2021.

  • Competition will increase. With all retailers in the same boat, big retailers will chase our customers with more energy and resources.
  • Retail to restructure. The restructuring we have seen already in retail will continue in 2021. That means more retail business closures, more businesses wholly moving online, creating a flood of discounted product. This will be challenging.
  • Shopper contact points. Social media, flyers and other touch points will matter in 2021 in terms of your connection with current and potential shoppers. Social media engagement has risen through Covid.
  • Australian made. We see sourcing and promoting Australian made as a differentiating strategy for 2021. 2021 will not be about cheap China product. How we pitch Australian made will matter. It needs to be nuanced.
  • Locals supporting locals. As local community groups fire up, they will ask for help. Manage this by being clear about what it means to you and the community.
  • Covid has reinforced the importance of connection through disconnection. We anticipate lingering interest in products that help connect in this way.
  • Practical help. For many, 2021 will be about finding work. Helping people who are looking for work is a wonderful public service for your local community.
  • The lockdown helped people realise what they did not know that they would like to know. You could benefit from offering a hub for such learning.
  • Online is here to stay. The biggest challenge is what to sell online. It is too easy to say everything I have in the shop. The more rewarding but harder path is to see online as a start-up business to drive net new traffic for your business. The offer from Tower of half price Shopify sites for newsXpress members remains available.

These notes are part of a broader report we have shared as p[art of a workshop consulting program with which we have been engaged. They are the highlights of our submission on our thoughts regarding 2021.

We hope our thoughts are useful to small business retailers.

How to find Australian developed POS software for small business retailers

January 22, 2019
2 Min read
H

Not all POS software sold in Australia is made is Australia. Plenty are not supported in Australia.

While we are biased on this, Australian designed and supported POS software is best for Australian business needs.

But how can you tell if your software is from Australia? Easy, call the company, call their local office and ask. Better still, if possible, visit their local office and see for yourself.

Small business retailers more than most in business understand the importance of shopping local – for local communities, local employment and local funding of infrastructure.

If this is you, if you pitch shop local in your business, shop local for your own POS software. That positions you better to influence the software and to benefit from the local Aussie connection.

Do your homework. Look at the terminology used in the software, the design aesthetic, the accessibility of support, the tuning of training to your business, the opportunity for face to face in-store training. Do all this research and we think you will soon see the value of shopping local for POS software for your small or independent retail business.

Here Are reasons why Australian designed and supported POS software is better for Australian retail businesses.

  1. Local business knowledge is vital.
  2. Accessible support is essential.
  3. Specialty retail channels are different elsewhere.
  4. It is made for you and not a global market.
  5. You are close to the company and therefore more able to influence product direction.
  6. It is more likely to work with your suppliers.
  7. It is good for the country, good for your local community.

In looking for software, we suggest you start with your needs. Be clear and concise. Know what is not negotiable for you and stick to that.

We suggest you don’t get suckered into a free trial as that is how some companies get you, thinking you will become invested and not want to switch. Do your research and make a better decision to start with, a researched decision based on your needs.

Australian POS software has an excellent reputation. You can rely on having terrific options available to you.
