4 Reasons To Accept Credit Cards By Phone

Are you looking to accept credit cards for your business
but not sure what solution is best for you?   Accepting
credit cards by phone can be a smart choice for the small
and new business owner.  Below are 4 reasons why.

Convenience

Accepting credit cards by phone adds a powerful convenience
factor to your business.  If you don't have a formal office
or place of business for your customers to come in and pay,
Dial Pay service is an excellent and essential tool.   Or,
maybe you do have a shop or store but would simply like the
ability to close the deal with your customer no matter
where you are.  Either way, you will likely see your
profits and customer satisfaction increase. Just think of
the advantages of being able to accept payments by phone,
on a job site, in a restaurant or even while at the grocery
store.  And nowadays, it is very important to accept credit
card payment on the go and without delay.

A Call to Action

Another advantage to having a dialpay account is that it
allows you as the business owner to finalize the
transaction.  In other words, your customer may verbally
commit to you on the sale or service you are providing but
unless you can finalize that agreement with payment, you
may risk losing the customer to other day to day
distractions or worse yet, to another competitor.    Having
a merchant account that can work on any phone, including a
cell phone gives you this powerful advantage and again will
only increase your profitability as a business.

Cost Effective

Keeping costs down is vital for any small or new business.
Your standard merchant account requires you to have a
credit card machine which can cost you hundreds of dollars,
not so great for the little guy or the new business owner
who would rather be spending his money on advertising or
more important things.  Another "high cost" associated with
merchant accounts that do not accept cards by phone are the
extra fees.  Many times these accounts have $25.00 to
$35.00 monthly minimums as well as annual fees.  Oh yah,
did I mention a whopping $250.00 to $450.00 account
cancellation fee if you close your account within the first
2 years?  Fees, fees, fees.  On the other hand, if you
accept credit cards by phone, you usually only pay one
rate, a low monthly statement fee and a minimal application
fee.

Fewer Headaches

Because there is no equipment needed to set up or use a pay
by phone merchant account, you don't have to worry about
technical equipment issues such as malfunctioning terminals
or programming errors that inevitably happen with merchants
that have credit card machines.  If you ever had to deal
with such a problem you understand the significance and
value of having a simple credit card processing by phone
solution.

Whether your business is Limousine Service, Plumbing,
Contracting, Consulting, Crafts, Selling at flea markets or
even if you are an attorney, accepting credit cards by
telephone can be a smart choice in growing and maintaining
a healthy business.

The Origin of Zenith Watch Manufacturers

For the last century and a half, Zenith timepieces have
redefined the meaning of watches.  What began as a way to
view the time has developed into a plethora of precise
details and exquisite design, which Zenith has perfected.
They have cultivated beauty and precision in each of their
collections, all while delivering nothing short of
perfection to its customers.

The long history of Zenith Watches dates all the way back
to 1869, under the guidance of Georges Favre-Jacot.  At the
time he was nothing more than a 22 year-old visionary that
had ideas and put them in tact.  He invented truly the
first watch making manufacturer at this time and changed
the watch industry forever.  The way he compiled the
company and workers was like nothing done before.

He gathered some of the top watch makers all under one roof
to build perfection, known as Zenith.  By bringing them
under the same roof, it allowed the watch makers to focus
primarily on designing and building their timepiece.  In
doing so, some of the top watches around were created
rather quickly all under the same roof.

The history of the manufacturers name comes from an evening
when Favre-Jacot was building an almost perfect timepiece.
As he went outside to get away for a bit, he focused his
attention on the beautiful sky full of stars.  In
particular, he paid attention to a gigantic constellation
that was turning around the Polar star.  This constellation
has a direct resemblance to that of the movements of the
pivots and the wheels on their axes.

It was on this evening that he decided to call the new
movement and manufacturer Zenith.  The reasoning behind
this is that Zenith is the word that designates the highest
point in the universe, much like that constellation he saw.
 From this point on, he viewed this as his guidance toward
success.

The company flourished rather quickly, as it consisted of
over 1,000 employees by 1875 and the company was creating
pocket watches, pendulum clocks and counter instruments.  A
milestone was reached in 1922 as the company produced its
two millionth timepiece and they were flowing rapidly.

The turn of the century saw Zenith reinvent itself and
modernize its timepieces.  In 2002 at the Basel watch fair,
Zenith launched 4 new movements and 14 new models that
represented an overwhelming 52 new variations.  There have
been several innovations made by Zenith in the 2000's and
many new models have been launched.  Currently, Zenith has
been launching a collection of sport-chic watches entitled
DEFY, and are further progressing the modernity of their
timepieces.

Omega Watches Become Advanced With Modern Technology

From the movement to the case to the bracelet, the Omega
technology used allows the company to produce the exquisite
watches that the public sees.  Over time, it becomes
essential that watch companies remain innovative and offer
new things.  If the company fails to do so, the company
will soon fail.  Fortunately for Omega watches, they have
been able to modernize every collection and model they
release.

The case is one of the key points to creating the overall
watch in terms of design and technology.  Special attention
is paid to this part of the watch because of its importance
to the overall watch.  As soon as the 3D prototype is
created by the designers on the computer, the engineers
jump in on the process.  The main reason the engineers
enter during this phase is because the dimensions of the
case are determined by the size of the movement.

Although not quite as important, the dial and hands get
looked at closely as well when deciding what type of Omega
technology to use.  From the very beginning of development,
prototypes for the dial and hands are produced to give a
better impression of the overall look.  Also by creating
prototypes, it allows engineers to see what types of
technological requirements will be needed for these parts.

The last part of the watch that is looked at is the
bracelet, which Omega watches are well known for meeting
the latest technological and aesthetic criteria.  One of
the key factors in deciding what type of Omega technology
to use for the bracelet is comfort.  The comfort of the
bracelet when the watch is worn on the wrist is ensured by
the fine finishing of the bracelet.

Perhaps the most important part of Omega technology goes
into the timepiece's movement.  Omega is well known for
their production and expertise of movement.  Just recently,
Omega introduced the new co-axial movement that was
developed by George Daniels.  After several years of hard
work and development, the new movement went through
rigorous testing.  Finally, in 1999 the first limited
series was launched.  In 2001 the new De Ville co-axial
collection was launched with the Omega technology that has
changed the way watches will be made in the future.

In order to produce and distribute the high-class and
intricate watches that Omega creates, the Omega technology
used is crucial.  The various technologies allow Omega to
create innovative watches and produce fresh and enticing
watches to the public.  After much testing and drawing, the
Omega technology is put to work and the final piece is
distributed worldwide.

Men's Zenith Collection Watches Continue to Impress Buyers

Over the course of Zenith's existence, they have produced a
number of magnificent timepieces and dumbfounding
collections.  On the men's side, there are five collections
to choose from and each has their own perks.  Within the
collections, there are several variations and models to
choose from ensuring that you find the men's Zenith watch
for you.

The newest men's Zenith collection on the market is Defy.
There are a total of eight variations that you can choose
from within this collection, all providing something a
little different.  One of the eight watches you may choose
from is the Defy Classic HMS Elite.  This watch is the
ultimate sport-chic watch on the market with the new
generation of movements that are strengthened by anti-shock
balance bridges.  Some of the features included in this
watch are a stainless steel brushed case with sapphire
caseback, a rotating bezel and a screw-in crown.

The next men's Zenith collection you may consider is the
Port-Royal, which gives you nine variations to choose from.
 Unlike the Defy collection, there is much more variation
between the nine watches within this collection.  You can
select from a stainless steel strap accommodated by a black
or white round dial, or you can opt for a rectangular dial
with a black or brown leather strap.

One of the more innovative and elegant men's Zenith watch
collection is the Class series.  There are 13 options to
choose from, each with a completely different style from
one another.  You will find chronographs or regular watches
within this collection.  The Class Open El Primero offers
either a black rubber or alligator strap with a magnificent
face.  The dial includes even numbers as well as three
chronograph, power reserve indicators.

Moving on, the Chronomaster collection offers 11 variations
for buyers to choose from.  These automatic movement
timepieces feature chronographs, time, date, day, month and
moon phases.  With an elegant stainless steel case and
bracelet, you are sure to shine in the business room with a
Chronomaster series watch.

The last men's Zenith collection is the Haute Horlogerie.
The eight watches within this series are innovative and
offer a design that is found in no other watch on the
market.  It has an automatic movement with chronograph,
date and the faster tourbillon in the world.  The face
features several diamonds depending on the model you select
and has either a black or white back to it.

Over time, Zenith has continued to modernize their watches
to stay ahead of the competition.  With the five men's
Zenith collections on the market right now, there is
nothing short of perfection within the models that men have
to choose from.
