Multipling Your Sales

Multipling Your Sales

Ah! Making that first sale. What a relief. What a
thrill to open your email with those words "You've Made
A Sale"! I still remember my first sale. It was for
$20.00, and it was for "The Total Resale Package",
http://tinyurl.com/29x43 . That site is still up today
and brings in good money.
But even though the sale itself was a thrill, it was
the next one, and the next one, and the next ones,
which were of tremendous importance too.
Have you made sales on your products? Are you thrilled,
relieved? And do you feel that same way after each
sale? If not, read on please -
When you make your first sale, you should always follow
up with your customer. Send a "thank you" email and
include an advertisement for any other products you
sell. Follow-up every few months. There is even a
"Thank You Ad exchange", that allows you to place a
small piece of code on the "Thank You Page" of your web
site that shows a "Thank You Ad", earns you credits,
and gets your ad placed on the Thank You pages of
thousands of other sites.

Upsell to your customers. When they're ready to place
they're order, tell them about yourother related
products, or add-on products you have. And allow them
to go back and review or add to their order. This could
be upgrades, special services, attachments, etc.
Take a lesson from the car dealers. "Offer Rebates"! If
your current customers bring in 4 buying customers,
they get a rebate of their original purchase price.
This will turn one sale into three sales!
Add to the sale you just made by offering membership in
your affialiate program. Your customers can make
commissions selling your product, and you multiply the
sale you just made.
Resale and reprint rights to products are very big
these days. Whole sites are dedicated to these, some
going for very modest prices. You in turn can charge
your own price on these items and make a healthy
profit.
Joint Venture or JV marketing as it is called, is also
very big these days. Cross promoting, or inviting
partners to sell their wares on one site in a package
deal. You can trade leads, share marketing info, sell
package deals, etc. You submit ads to your subscriber
list and your partners list, who then submits ads to
theirs, who submit ads to theirs.,..well, anyway, you
see where this is going.
What about coupons? Oh yeah baby! I love coupons! Use
them every chance I can at the grocery store. How about
when you sell something? Offer a coupon for another of
your products. With or without an expiration. I prefer
an expiration date, I tend to keep those without one a
lot longer than those with.
Gift certificates are real popular around the holidays
and for birthdays. You'd make sales when they bought
the gift certificate, and when the recipient cashes it
in. They could also buy other items from your web site.
Include free products or services with the package your
customer just bought. Combine a product and service
together. It could increase your sales. If you're
selling a book, offer an hour of consulting with it. E-
books, reports, articles, e-courses, they all make very
powerful persuaders. Free software or e-book downloads
can attract a lot of traffic too.
Brand your name and business on your products, in your
articles, your e-books, reports, and e-courses. Then
submit them to e-zines or web sites for republishing.
You could start your own Virus Marketing campaign. See
the recent article on this at -
http://tinyurl.com/3zse4 .
Publish your e-zine on your web site. Send out e-mail
reminders and have them subscribe to a "new issue".
This could really increase your traffic and sales.
Negotiate with e-zine publishers to get free or
discounted ads by letting them join your affiliate
program and earn commissions on the ad you run.
Offer your product for free, temporally, to those folks
that join your free affiliate program.
Model other successful business or people. I'm not
saying out right copy them, but practice some of the
same habits that have made them succeed. Remember to
take a little time out of your day or week to
brainstorm. New ideas are usually the difference
between success and failure. Take risks to improve your
business, sometimes you have to spend money to get
results.
