A good way to promote Bitcoin or not?

[Ucy]

That will be ok for businesses that are completely independent of the fiat system otherwise a society that is dependent on the system will be against you in the future once they understand that Bitcoin can't be subject to it, leading to problems for your business.
Just make sure you own the shop, produce the wine yourself, or atleast the one you rented the shop from and the sources for the ingredients for making the wine should also be independent people who use Bitcoin for transactions.



My views are based on long-term implications of the path you choose today.

A good way to promote bitcoin is that we have to provide enough and interesting information and we also have to be able to reach the right audience, we also have to keep abreast of the latest developments in the bitcoin industry and have to adapt our promotion strategy according to developments, we also have to create media accounts bitcoin-focused social media and upload content that interests others to find out more about bitcoin.

Start with "we accept Bitcoin" sticker on your front door, and add some Bitcoin logos in the shop. See how people react. Check whether they are really interested in Bitcoin, ask what is it, how to pay with and etc. Start with simple research. Dont go all-in into spending things on buying terminal, software and etc. Dont rush. Its wine you want to sell on first place, not to introduce Bitcoin to others.

[Gallar]

simple steps that are pretty good, don't forget to add a banner that is clearly visible in front of your shop, so that it can be more attractive to people passing by.
continue to provide prices for goods or products that you will sell using bitcoin, so that it is easier and more practical to see prices.
if around you there are many people who have bitcoins, surely your shop will be the subject of discussion and of course it is likely that there will be many visitors.

I think your plan to accept Bitcoin payment in your win shop is a good one because this is really going to pave way for more customers if your country accepts Bitcoin for payments otherwise you still need to convert your funds back to your local fiat currency to buy more goods in your shop to keep it running.

As suggested by @Erumo, you need to get a sticker with Bitcoin logo that will also do a major advert for you because alot of people will likely do business with you if they find out that you accept Bitcoin for payments. Try aacmuch as possible to encourage any customer willing to do business with you via Bitcoin payment  you can also gain their interest by reducing a small amount of money for any one willing to pay with Bitcoin I believe that help to bring more customers to you.

I am always considering bitcoin for payments and regular transactions but our government is strict when it comes to it. So OP unless you are from El Salvador and Central African Republic, make sure your government and local authorities are not that strict with regard to bitcoin regulations since penalties may be harsher than your expectations and we tend to ignore it sometimes. You already have a great idea about accepting bitcoin for your business, the best way is to probably ask your local bureau if it is okay or if you need a permit or something.

[Issa56]

I think that's really a nice idea, if people visit your store and they want to make payment, make sure you always ask them if they are going to pay with bitcoin and listen to their response, the once that know about bitcoin but don't have Bitcoin or are not ready to pay with bitcoin will definitely say No, but the once that don't know anything about bitcoin will definitely ask (what is bitcoin?) then you can use the opportunity to explain to them.

[SOKO-DEKE]

It's always encouraging to see more people adopting Bitcoin, and spreading awareness is one of the easiest ways to encourage adoption. And that is what you have came up with  by accepting Bitcoin in your shop as option for payment. As you noted, many folks aren't even aware of what Bitcoin is. But I believe many people will be made aware of that by the time you start accepting it. Op try and make the notification notice larger and well design so that
more eye can catch.

you can also gain their interest by reducing a small amount of money for any one willing to pay with Bitcoin I believe that help to bring more customers to you.

I will not advise him to reduce any amount just because  he want to attract more customers to adopt Bitcoin,due to is doing a business and nobody is paying him for taking any awareness or accepting Bitcoin. and infact he is not the one producing wine but just a store keeper, I don't think reducing price will be a good idea but only putting he business in risk.

[Cantsay]

It will be interesting to try something like this, and I am confident that it will contribute to the growth of the Bitcoin ecosystem. However, you must brace yourself for some difficulties because you intend to teach some of them, who are unfamiliar with Bitcoin, what Bitcoin is. There may come a time when you are asked a question about Bitcoin that you have never heard of.

So, if you truly want to continue with this initiative, you must arm yourself with the necessary knowledge to ensure that everything runs smoothly.

[Bobrox]

You started with good way how to promoting Bitcoin to public and actually with your environment by accepting Bitcoin for your win store, should put and use clearly Bitcoin logo in front of your store for accepting Bitcoin as payment currency. No matter with little reached when first time adopting Bitcoin for payment method.

Step by step many people will know about your store actually for Bitcoin community purchasing in your store using Bitcoin, have many friendly respond many costumer when finding with store accepting Bitcoin as payment currency transaction. You need get allowed from your government country about Bitcoin is allow using for digital payment currency in your store or forbidden payment.

[Sakanwa]

Actually it's a great idea to promote bitcoin to people out there that don't know much about it to them, been a bitcoin investor yourself,to promote bitcoin to others you need to make those people you about to let known to the first time,you need to make the know the advantage and disadvantage of it.
You can also add it up to your business and make your costumers learn how to use it too,it also a form of help growing the platform too,making someone know about bitcoin is like you have open there eyes to world,so you let them know about everything in bitcoin investment and also the profit aspect.

I only suggested that to the OP because maybe it will attract more customers to him since it appears that Bitcoin is not used for payments in the op's locality but it all depends on the op because he's the only one that knows the benefit and gains he will make if more customers are attracted to his shop because of the small incentives he's willing to give to customers who makes payments with Bitcoin. It is left for the op to decide since he is the only one who knows the reason for starting payments with Bitcoin and as someone who wants customers patronage with Bitcoin, it will be wise to make a little reduction for them for sometime then the price can go back to normal when they have finally realized that transactions are faster, easier and more secured using Bitcoin for payments of goods and services.

[KingsDen]

If I open my business for myself, my wife or family,  I'll only do things that will promote the business.
I mean if I want to promote Bitcoin, I'll simply do a separate campaign for busines. I'll only accept it in my business if my customers demand it as a method of payment.
I'll consider to conduct a survey, if my customers don't know it or are not interested, I won't force it.

Looking at who bears the transaction fee;
How to handle volitilty;
Who will handle the bitcoin transactions in my absence; etc
I'll not force it.

Apart from telling them the advantages and disadvantages, we must not force them to try to invest in bitcoin because it will be up to them and we can only tell what we know. Adding the option of paying using bitcoin can give them a sense of curiosity to start trying to learn about bitcoin before they even try to use it. If more people are willing to accept new things, especially bitcoin, this will increase the adoption process and provide more support for bitcoin. And people who start using bitcoin as an investment will also benefit from it in the future.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

Its a cool idea, you have a good opportunity to promote Bitcoin and contribute your part in its adoption, we all clamor and wish for bitcoin to become a mainstream means through which we can pay for goods and services, but the truth remains that it is our collective efforts that will make that happen.
I believe that the government will not just wake up one morning and decide to implement bitcoin payment into the system, the zeal amongst the citizens of the country in willingness to accept Bitcoin payment for their goods and services is what will join in motivating and encouraging the government of that country to decide to accept it.

So indeed, you have a good opportunity in your hands, use it to add your own contribution to the adoption of bitcoin payment.

[LogitechMouse]

If you have many customers at your store then I guess it's a good try to accept and promote Bitcoin.

While I'm posting my opinion, something came out of my mind regarding this one. What if you try and make a quick survey with regards to Bitcoin first to know which of your customers have knowledge about Bitcoin? I mean if they will buy, give a survey paper for them that will answer some simple questions that is related to Bitcoin.

I'm not a businessman, but promote your products more than Bitcoin. With the survey that I said, you will know which of your customers know Bitcoin and which are not. From there, you might ask some question them with regards to Bitcoin and that's another way of promoting it. If you want, maybe just try and ask each and every customer you have if they know something about Bitcoin .

Give it a try to accept Bitcoin. You aren't paying anything by making a setup of it. Maybe there are some of your customers who are willing to pay Bitcoin to you.

Even if not many it adds another spot of a bitcoin friendly business on the world map. So it help adoption and while it is still early stages make a store more attractive to cryptans so can be an additional reason to buy in here not somewhere else.

...

As for me, I don't like when I'm asked about something not concerning my purchase. Some can suppose it obsessive if you try to promote some additional things in the store. IMO it is better just to provide an opportunity not urging to use it if a customer doesn't ask.

So my wife and i has a big wine 🍇 store and this includes other drinks as well, we sell in packs, and loads of people always come around to buy from us, I am thinking if this is a good opportunity to start promoting Bitcoin? I mean if some can pay Bitcoin for goods and services it will help even if they are few.

I believe this can make people start wondering what Bitcoin is and I will be waiting for questions like

What is bitcoin?

What benefits come from using it as payment?

Then I will give my answer and see if any people become more interested in it, some have heard about it but they have a wrong perspective of what Bitcoin is leading to believe it's a scam.  What do you think?

You can just put the sign of "Bitcoin accepted here" and whoever asks you a question about it then you should give them the answer that they want.

Putting the qr code of the bitcoin address that you'll use for accepting payments there made by your customer is the start of it.

So, having those things visible in your store will already make them curious what are those.

digital currency called bitcoin aspires to do away with the need for central authorities like banks or governments. Bitcoin, on the other hand, makes use of blockchain technology to enable user-to-user transactions on a decentralized network.

This is a good idea you know. If you are all up for it then it would be a good move by you to promoting bitcoin in your own way. Taking such bold steps would want people to know more about it and I hope bitcoin is legal in your country where you stay and are conducting this business. Going by this, I think you should make it known in your store by making a notice of you accepting bitcoin so you do not have to ask them or talking to them to accept payment via bitcoin. When they see it, those who are into the system would definitely want to identify with you so they could make payment with bitcoin for their goods and those who are curious about the post would definitely ask you some questions to know about your notification. These would attract more customers for you and also make others around your company to follow your steps by accepting bitcoin too. I see the adoption rate in your local speedup  very fast.
