Ah a new year, and a new decade, but the same old problem, how to get more sales. Sure last year was a down year for most of the economy, but things are getting better and will get better in the future. Business cycles are natural and no mater what the government does, they can't avoid them. So what we must do as entrepreneurs is to maximize our potential for sales and profits in every business climate. In order to do that we need to find ways to make our sales soar. Here's a few ways you may want to try out:
1. Maximize the effectiveness of your banner ads. Don't just use the same ad on every banner, use a variety to attract the greatest number of clickers.
2. Make your web site load much faster by cutting down on banner ads and start using more buttons. Button ads are also smaller and take up less space.
3. Offer free advertising space to well known and respected companies on your web site. Sometimes people link their business credibility to yours.
4. People have been taught all their life to respect people in authority. Tell your visitors that you are the president or CEO of your business.
5. Offer people a free telephone consultation before they order your product. When they get to know you personally, it could convert to more sales.
6. Test the "bill me later option" on your web site. Most people are honest and will pay you. It is a powerful little niche and could increase your sales.
7. Find a charity your target audience would likely support. Tell people on your ad copy that you will give a percentage of the profits to that charity.
8. Hold a "buy the most wins contest" on your web site. Tell people each monthly winner will get their entire purchase refunded.
9. Attract visitors to your web site by offering them a free course. You could package the course on a follow-up autoresponder and send lessons daily.
10. Interview people related to your industry and get their legal permission to convert it to an article. Promote your web site by submitting it to ezines.
These are just a few things to try. Read through past posts to find more, you'll be glad you did. Now these will only work if you actually use them. Work smarter not harder.
