If you run a retail store or an e-commerce business; one easy way to attract more customers would be by displaying ‘EMI Facility Available Here’ sign. EMI is a cost-effective payment method with which your business can benefit greatly. For high priced products such as mobile phone, electrical appliances and home furniture EMI schemes have proven to increase sales.
When customers want to purchase a product like an electrical appliance; the first thing that comes to their mind is how to pay – cash or card. The right option for them would be using credit card & opting for EMI. Business owners who provide EMI facility to customers have a higher chance of up-selling too. Customers looking to purchase a product worth 8000/- can be recommended 10000/- worth product. Add to it the option of 0% processing fee & splitting up the amount into multiple EMI’s like 3 months, 6 months or more. The 0% interest EMI is a big hit with customers who want to buy big ticket products without any interest burden. Customers will be more open for purchases, when banks offer cash back on their cards; thereby resulting in more purchases.
60% of high-income customers preferred installment plans, and 4 in 10 credit card users would increase their purchase size by 10% or more if given the option of an interest-free EMI plan
