Even the family businesses that were considered ‘caught in their tradition’ are now embracing the digital age and moving away from newspapers to digitally driven marketing plans.

Beyond the social media adverts and the google reviews, the definition of the new savvy is also transforming. The latest player is Bitcoin and shops that are actively embracing the crypto culture are being considered as forward thinking. More and more shops are now accepting bitcoin payments and just a sticker mentioning “We accept Bitcoins” is driving the sales crazy.


Mr. Watanabe, a tea seller in the scenic village of Higashinaruse, Akita is one of the many success stories of Bitcoins where just a small marketing trick of accepting Bitcoins is attracting new customers to the shop. While, Mr. Watanabe is doing it at a local level, many shops are advertising their embracing of Bitcoin at ShopBitcoin.co.

The website holds listings of everything one would want to do with Bitcoin, be it buying, selling or spending. It’s effortless utility also lies in the way it categorises the businesses in different categories based on the commodity they deal in and the city, state country they operate in.

A simple listing on ShopBitcoin.co is opening new avenues for local shops that operate in the area. The new audience- Bitcoin enthusiasts of this generation are largely seen as the ‘opinion shapers’ in their social spheres and therefore, a single such person visiting the shop often opens the door to many others who wish to follow the example.

Many are proudly vouching for the fact that marketing was never this easy, when rave technologies like Bitcoin and useful websites like ShopBitcoin were absent in the domain.
