Bulan Ramadan – a time when Muslims fast, get in touch with their spirituality and conduct charitable deeds. This aside, it is also a happening time for bazaars and more shopping!
With Ramadan being the holiest and busiest month for Muslims, it’s time for businesses to prepare and strategise how they can best capture customers’ interest. Moreover, the Department of Statistics Singapore reported an increase in sales within the retail trade sector in January 2023. Among high-performing retailers include apparel and footwear (23.7%), while others were made up of recreational goods, computer and telecommunications equipment and cosmetics, toiletries and medical goods that increased between 5.4% and 9.7%.
As customers come flooding into your premise, you may have considered investing in a reliable POS to support the high demand and sales volumes.
Nevertheless, it’s not just about getting the best POS solution but one that fits your budget. This aside, the feasibility also lies in its features and its user experience, as you won’t want something too complicated to use.
