Hey! We’ve had a great response to this special offer. But, I’ve also talked to some people that said they didn’t see the email we sent out last week.
Please check out the video (image link below) to see if our Touch POS screens can help you and your frontliners speed up transactions at the point of purchase.
In His Service,

Summer Discount for Touch POS Ends Soon
A growing number of stores are devoting additional space to gifts and providing a café to encourage more (and longer) customer visits. Our Touch POS software solution is an affordable and easy-to-use add-on that helps speed up transactions at the point of purchase. It’s packed with features you’ll need as a Christian Retailer, and it is flexible enough to handle even the most demanding operation.
Even better, it’s easy to set up and is a natural extension to our RMS point-of-sale software, offering you a single system store management solution. With RMS Touch POS, you are able to configure buttons for all your gifts, apparel, novelties, drinks and other items. Ringing up items with tiny, hard to scan barcodes or items that have no barcodes is now easily done with the touch of a button.
“I appreciate that the Bookstore Manager POS solution works well for our Bookstore and for our Café. It’s great to be able to sell featured books in the café!” – Susan
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the promotion and when does it end?
Receive $500 off the regular price of $995, making the Touch POS add-on only $495 through Thursday, July 31st, 2014.
Is there a monthly fee?
There is no additional monthly fee. Ongoing support for Touch POS is included in your regular monthly BSMGR support fee.
Do I have to upgrade all my monitors to touch screens?
No. Touch POS works great with a keyboard and mouse.
Do I have to pay for a license for each computer?
No. It is a site license which means it covers all machines at your location.
Is this useful for a bookstore or just good for a café?
Yes! The add-on is ideal for both bookstores and café’s. Designed to address the unique needs of a café, it is also great for bookstores that carry a lot of gift items (jewelry, T-shirts, etc.), or items that don’t have barcodes (pencils, logo wear, etc.).
Can I still scan my barcodes or enter in department sales?
Yes. You have all the functions of the traditional POS interface plus all the new Touch POS functions.
What version of Windows do I need to use Touch POS?
RMS version 8.0 and the Touch POS enhancements require Windows XP or later.
Can I get a live demo over the Internet?
Yes. It takes about 10 minutes to walk you through the software. Please contact Steven at 800-997-6724 option 1 or via email at sales@bsmgr.com to set up a demo time that works best for you.
Should I purchase this now?
Of course! It is a handy tool for your front liners, and the summer discount makes it a great bargain.

Remember, our annual Users Meeting is being held this week (Thursday, June 5th at 1pm Central time) via the Internet instead of at ICRS. Even if you cannot attend the webinar, please register for the event. It will be recorded and a link to the recording will automatically be sent at the conclusion of the webinar to everyone that registers.
We are excited to invite you to attend the 2014 Bookstore Manager Users Meeting webinar! This is an opportunity to hear about enhancements and new features that are being added to your system.
Traditionally, we have held our Users Meeting each year at the summer CBA/ICRS conference. In recent years many have found it difficult to attend the show or were caught in the quandary of choosing between multiple simultaneous events at the convention.
To give everyone an opportunity to attend, we are hosting this year’s meeting via the Internet in a “webinar” setting. Now you can sit back in your favorite chair and learn what’s new at Bookstore Manager.
As always, we will end the meeting with a customer Q&A time, so register, save the date and bring your questions.
The webinar event will be held on Thursday, June 5th at 1pm Central time.
