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. Click here to see ThankYouAds.com - http://tinyurl.com/5kack 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. --------------------------------------------------------------- All the Best... jerry durham lonestar enterprises - opportunity to succeed http://www.freewebs.com/opportunity_to_succeed/ mail to: opportunity_to_succeed@email.com 5705 marvin loving dr suite 202 garland, tx 75043 --------------------------------------------------------------- "OPPORTUNITY TO SUCCEED NEWSLETTER" Ideas you need to start, manage & grow your online business!
