Easy Ways To Boost Your Sales

By Tracey Martin

The following are 10 simple yet very powerful ways to increase your sales significantly:

1. After you make a sale, make sure you contact the buyer. Send an email thanking the customer for there purchase and include links to other products you advertise. You can email them once a week to make sure everything is working out well for them. The main objective of this approach is to build a relationship with the buyer, so constant correspondence is needed.

2. Offer your customer a better package before they cash out. After they click the link to make the purchase, tell them about a few extra related products you have for sale. Then add a button so they can add the new products to there order if they are interested.

3. Tell your customers if they refer four customers to your web site, then you will give them a complete refund of there purchase price. This will turn one sale into three sales. Because most of your customers will only refer a couple of people you won't have to give away to many refunds.

4. When you sell an item to a customer, offer your customers the chance of signing up for your affiliate program, then they can make money by promoting your items. This will help you multiply your sales without putting in any more effort.

5. Offer your buyers the chance to purchase the master resale rights to this product. Offer this as one of your upgrades to up sell the customer or include the ad in the download. You will make more sales both with a one time offer and as another purchase from the same customer.

6. You could cross promote your product with other businesses' products in a package deal. Create an ad to place on all your sales pages for all the products you put in your group discount package.

7. When you ship out or deliver your product, include a coupon for other related products you sell in the package. This will help to stimulate additional purchases from the same customer.
