People always are asking me how to increase sales. I have found some of the top ten ways to increase sales for anyone and everyone. Use them and have fun and loads of sales.
1. When you make your first sale, follow-up with the customer. Remember you only have a customer if they hear from you every month. You could follow-up with a “thank you” email and “thank you” card (send out cards is a great program for this) include an advertisement for other products you sell. You could follow-up every month.
2. You could up sell to your customers. Mc Donald’s has been doing that to you for years. “Would you like to “SUPER SIZE” that? Is that a large fry? We have hot apple pie today? When they’re at your order page, tell them about a few extra related products you have for sale. They could just add it to their original order.
3. Tell your customers if they refer four customers to your web site, they will receive a full rebate of their purchase price. This will turn one sale into three sales. “The Referral Mindset” and “Endless Referrals” by Bob Burg is a great place to learn how to use this practice.
4. When you sell a product, give your customers the option of joining an affiliate program so they can make commissions selling your product. This will multiply the sale you just made. This is another name for network Marketing or Affiliate making.
5. Sell the reprint/reproduction rights to your products. You could include an ad on or with the product for other products you sell. You could make sales for the reproduction rights and sales on the back end product. This is great for Books, E-books, and Articles and Do IT yourself projects.
6. You could cross promote your product with other businesses products in a package deal. You can include an ad or flyer for other products you sell and have other businesses selling for you. The best way to learn how to do this was in the book by Joe Vitale “The Power of Outrageous Marketing”. Many examples that are easy to follow and ways you can think of too.
7. When you ship out or deliver your product, include a coupon for other related products you sell in the package. This will attract them to buy more products from you. If you are a reseller and cannot add the coupon to the shipments include it in the thank you not and thank you card. This will keep your customer coming back.
8. Send your customers a catalog of add-on products for the original product they purchased. This could be upgrades, special services, attachments, etc. If they enjoy your product they will buy the extra add-ons. Send them also to an other site or catalogs for related items even if you do not make any money from them. Remember the Santa from Macy’s in “Miracle on 34th Street”? He sent them to the competitor and they came back in groups. You too can be very helpful and your customers will love you.
9. Sell gift certificates for your products. You’ll make sales from the purchase of the gift certificate, when the recipient cashes it in. They could also buy other items from your web site.
10. Send your customers free products with their product package. The freebies should have your ad printed on them. It could be bumper stickers, ball caps, t-shirts etc. This will allow other people to see your ad and order. Get you name in front of as many people as possible. That will help increase sales.
Just remember as a “GO GIVER” you always want to give more value to everything you sell and do. Remember, customer service is number one and the customer is always right. This will take you to new heights of sales and you too can be number one by making sure your customer comes first.
