Before merchants are issued a credit card chargeback, they must learn what chargebacks are, what they entail and how to effectively deal with them. This primer serves to educate merchants on the mechanics of credit card chargebacks and how to minimize the chances of receiving chargebacks.

Try attaching a card to the bag when packing a customer's purchases. Attach one to anything that leaves your store. Florists can put a card into each bunch of flowers. Find ways of incorporating a card into the purchases of your clients. In this way he will remember you better and also might pass it on to other potential clients. This is the best way to start a network of advertising that a third party is helping you achieve. It is amazing where your cards could land up in the end.

It turns out that you don't have to take many risks in business if you don't want to. Nor do you have to sell. Or be desperate to earn a fortune. In fact, in my experience the secret is to adopt an 'if at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try again' approach. If one thing isn’t a rip roaring success, switch to something else. As to making money? Do what you enjoy, have a vision, look after your customers and the money will follow.
