WHY the Smiley? Lots of people ask us “What in the heck does a SMILEY FACE have to do with Credit Card Processing and why does everything TMC does, have a Smiley attached to it?”- we love the question and here is the simple answer. MOST business owners do not find JOY in working with their credit card processor- in fact, quite the opposite! So when we decided to take care of businesses and their processing needs, we knew we had to be different. The SMILEY FACE sends a certain message: We are glad to see you, hear you, work with you and to be of service. We CARE about you and we will do everything we can to put a smile on your face. Credit card processing is one of the products we provide but Taking Care of People and delivering a SMILE WORTHY experience is who we are and WHY we do what we do.

Fall Back in Love With Your Business

Valentine’s Day is usually about romance, cards, chocolates, flowers, and grand gestures. But it’s also a good reminder to pause and ask an important question.

Do you still love your business?

Most business owners start out passionate and excited. Somewhere along the way, that excitement can get buried under long hours, rising costs, confusing statements, and technology that feels harder than it should.

Fall Back in Love With Your Business

What once felt rewarding can start to feel exhausting.

Falling back in love with your business doesn’t require a dramatic overhaul. Often, it starts with a few intentional changes that remove friction and restore clarity.

Here are a few ways to reconnect with your business this season.

  • Simplify the things that cause daily frustration.
    Payments, reporting, and processes should support your business, not slow it down or add stress.
  • Understand where your money is really going.
    Clear, transparent processing statements help you make better decisions and avoid unnecessary costs.
  • Use tools that match how you actually work.
    The right technology fits your workflow instead of forcing you to adapt to it.
  • Get support from people who know your business.
    Trusted partners who understand your goals can help you solve problems faster and plan smarter.

At Total Merchant Concepts, we believe business owners should feel confident, supported, and in control, not overwhelmed. Our role is to help remove the obstacles that get in the way so you can focus on what you love most about running your business.

This Valentine’s Day, take a moment to appreciate how far you’ve come, and consider what small changes could help you fall in love with your business all over again.

Happy Valentine’s Day from all of us at TMC.
