We have only been there a year or so and are definitely loving it.I completely agree that there is a niche opportunity to exploit the relatively old guard and the "standard" ways of doing things in payments.

I like thinking in macro numbers like you're doing.I agree that acquirers would not be able to collectively replace their billions of dollars in revenues through ads. But a single acquirer could use the strategy and create a very new and different offering.All current billable services would likely not be offered for free. Lots of the things that acquirers sell today look like premium Aneace Haddadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08119604490247753986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18727600.post-90480082042910791102008-06-10T19:54:00.000+02:002008-06-10T19:54:00.000+02:00Aneace,How are you?

I actually live in Boulder, CO and run an electronic payment processing company in Denver.Love your train of thought as I do believe we are getting closer to a free world. Payment processing is incredibly cumbersome and confusing for merchants (specifically small businesses).

They certainly do that from time to time already, but it is a small part of today's promotional marketing activities. Today most of the retailer's promotional budgets are spent on in-store promotions of the retailer's own products and services to the retailer's own customers.
