I think it is difficult to make the business integrated with bitcoin, especially if your country is still less understand what it bitcoin. But for countries like U.S and Britain is already very advanced and many already understand bitcoin it could be done, although still difficult I guess.
so it is better not to encourage local businesses to use bitcoin if it is felt this is not possible. Because it can be very easy for buyers but not necessarily will produce a profit for the seller.

I am looking to help move BTC forward into our economy more and would like to get some suggestions on how we can get more retailers to accept BTC as a payment.  The best part about accepting BTC is that they do not have any threat of charge-back from the customer.  I am just looking for some more input before I start approaching some of these local retailers.
First you need to introduce bitcoin, some merchants don't know what bitcoin is and more probably in third world countries that I'm living. Just plan to start first to give waiver that states what is bitcoin and if they want to know visit the specific address and date, like having an event. Then have the event on an area where more people is use to walk and maybe they can notice you and listen to you.
You can also do an online group for businesses that want to know about bitcoin. Ask them first and make them know what's the benefit of bitcoin for them, once they got curious give them time to meet you and explain all the things that they need to know.

I think it would be effective on those rich one and i really think the best thing to introduce bitcoins to business sector is to show our growing number of users and also the price,transaction fee and how smoothly the deal has been done if they will apply bitcoin as mod of payments to each company.

on other hand also business sector might notice bitcoin if some company who holding it includes bitcoin on their advertising so by that way also bitcoin can have exposure to global market.

As of today, it would be hard since Bitcoin isn't popular in some countries especially on third world countries. It would be possible on some because already lot of people knows about btc. I think it would happen in next 5 years I guess.

While its not bad to achieve both the local businesses to also accept Bitcoin,  the word about bitcoin may just be spread widely if its also used and accepted widely by online users to huge auction and ecommerce sites such as Amazon and the likes. With it being used online, we need not to encourage local business but they may initiate by themselves.

In a few years, when there are a few million people use the bitcoin, the bitcoin price will be many times more.

Yeah, im seeing 2020 as bitcoin used as payment. It is only 2016 and many shops are now accepting bitcoins as payment. It is because they are seeing the potential of this coin. And sooner or later, larger companies will then add bitcoins as their Mode of Payment. Why? Because the fact that bitcoin is very convenient to use, especially now that gadgets dominate the world. We just have to upgrade the security of our accounts from hackers especially those huge companies that will store millions or even billions of their investment. And if we do that, I think the bitcoin community will bloom like a flower from a bud.

Problem is most people don't see bitcoin as a legal currency because media don't allow it to happen. They don't want people to know bitcoin becauseif that would there's a high chance that it will crash the banks we have that use to inflate our paper money.

Even though the media do not report it positively, it will take some time for the people to realise the benefit of bitcoin.

Do you have local bitcoin exchanges with low transaction fees for the retailers to exchange fiat with coins?

Because if you don't, the retailers won't lift a finger.

I saw someone on Politics & Society section, there's one guy that promoting bitcoin using QR code with his T-shirt and he tells everyone that it might work. So I guess that's a good start.

bitcoin community in the country or in my town is quite a lot, and I saw it online. but indeed when I look in real it is still rare. but I'm sure if some stores give logos accept bitcoin payments. very likely to be a lot of people using bitcoin as a means of payment, and even people who previously did not know about bitcoin, they'll try to find out about bitcoin, because I think by using bitcoin transactions are so many benefits and conveniences.

I think its not a good way to promote qr codes in t-shirt is not enough i think it needs more promotion about bitcoin like advertising it in facebook..

As quoted by above mate social networking websites help in big promotion of bitcoin. Also at the same time it reaches people in a very short time. This might cause an increased adoption in a less time which might grab the attention of governments which is not good for the growth.

Tell them the uniqueness of Bitcoin Currency. Tell them what bitcoin is all about. Tell them the Pro's. If you want to encourage people to accept/use Bitcoin, then you have to tell something good about using Bitcoin and not the Bad things. You can also give them some evidence that bitcoin is good and you are using it. You can also tell the bad things about bitcoin but not too much. And tell them that bitcoin is growing.

Nice topic if you want to encourage people to accept bitcoin for there business i think you must talk and teach him how to used it. Or open bitcoin in your places go to your mayor and suggest that bitcoin can use as payment to local business because bitcoin is easy to used.

Local Businesses I might say will take some time to accept BTC. As they are not familiar with BTC and also paper money is always in need. Also there is and issue about internet connection. In order to transact wallet to wallet both person must have internet in order to confirm that the other one receive the BTC. When BTC will be accepted by big companies maybe its time for the local businesses.

I think one of the ways to let people know about it is through schools. Since most of the household in the neighborhood has students then may be you can hold a seminar in those schools. Talk about the advantages of bitcoin and how it can help them and potentially profit from it when they use it. Then supplement some videos or notes for further understanding.  You can also implement a business wherein you accept bitcoin as payment and some freebies or promos may be when they use it because people are willing to try something new when they wanted to get something for free or for a discount. If at first your customers pay you cash, give them some flyers about bitcoin so that the next time they come back and pay you they are already aware of it.

Well, it depends on you, if you are the boss of your business that way, it would be very easy, you just need to teach your subordinates about bitcoin and how it works, then pay them with bitcoin, and bitcoin make them produce for you. if you make a good strategy for your business, I think it would be very easy
