1. When you make your first sale, follow-up with the customer.
You could follow-up with a "thank you" email and include an
advertisement for other products you sell. You could follow-up
every few months. Auto responders are great for this. Just create
your messages to be sent out once a month and you are done.
2. You could up sell to your customers. 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.
Building trust is they key to multiple sales to the same
customer. If they buy from you once chances are they will again.
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 and your traffic could
snow ball if those 3 do the same and refer 3 more each.
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. If you
do not have software to set this up, you can use Clickbank to do
it for you. If you are not already a member of Clickbank I highly
recommend it. It’s free to join. ClickBank Affiliate
Program
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.
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.
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. I actually mail out a
full page flyer with my web address and e-mail.
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.
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.
This is just a small list of things you can do to boost your
internet business sales. The ideas are endless. Be creative and
don’t be afraid to try something different. ----
