Pay With Plastic for Dog Care Services Starting at $7; Free Credit Card
Readers Available for Small Businesses
Intuit Inc.:
WHAT:
Luxury dog treatments right where dogs play. Services start at
$7 for credit card payers, compliments of Intuit GoPayment.
Intuit GoPayment is helping New York Dog Nanny grow by taking its
business beyond the storefront to where its customers hang out - the
park. Loving dog owners can treat their canines to the "paws that
refreshes" with grooming, toys, or treats and conveniently check out
with their credit cards. Selected treats and toys will be available
for free while supplies last. With GoPayment, New York Dog Nanny
accepts credit cards using their mobile phones and tablets wherever
they do business.
Intuit is also giving away its GoPayment
mobile credit card reader hardware while supplies last. It plugs
into the audio jack of a mobile device and lets small businesses
swipe and process credit cards on the go so they never miss a sale.
WHY:
To give New York canines 'Best in Show' care; help small
businesses never miss a sale.
According to a recent Intuit survey of small businesses, small
businesses in the Northeast report an average of $3,900 a month in
outstanding payments, creating a $46,800 annual strain on cash flow.
Timely payments are critical fuel for small business growth.
Accepting payment by credit cards improves cash flow. Based on a
2012 survey of GoPayment users, more than two-thirds of GoPayment
customers new to credit card processing say they have made sales
they would not have gotten without GoPayment.
WHO:
Sisters with a soft spot for dogs.
New York Dog Nanny
is co-owned by sisters Cynthia and Sharon Okimoto, who hail from a
longtime dog-fostering family. They've provided comprehensive and

New York Dog Nanny is taking its esteemed dog grooming services
mobile to Madison Square Park. Cynthia and Sharon will be
available for press interviews on April 4 to discuss how accepting
credit cards on the spot via GoPayment has helped them boost their
bottom line and customer satisfaction.
