For the international webshop
Whatever products or services you offer online, with American Express your customer can pay for their products or services. The American Express credit card is used worldwide. With this payment method in your webshop, you will obtain and reach a lot of potential customers. The credit card is a suitable payment option for every entrepreneur who also offers products abroad. It’s a very popular payment method and users usually pay higher amounts with this payment option.
AMEX credit cards are also used in The Netherlands: 5% of the Dutch credit cards are AMEX credit cards. They provide a total of 15% of the credit card turnover. You could say that these cardholders are generally 'big spenders'. Take advantage of this fact as an entrepreneur!
Loyalty programs
American Express has a loyalty program and an extensive rewards system. Users receive at least 1 Membership Reward point every time they spend an euro with their AMEX credit card. These savings can be made for gifts, discounts, airline tickets and hotel stays. And for you, this can also be very useful: American Express cardholders are sensitive when it comes to loyalty programs. Take advantage of this too and see if you can bind these potential customers to your product or service through a loyalty program.
