You might think you are doing pretty well when it comes to internet marketing, but there’s a pretty good chance you could be doing so much more to increase your profits. There are a variety of different ways you can market over the Internet and help beat your competition.
Sell merchandise in packs that are bundled together. This works for two reasons. It works for you because the bundled pack always costs more than just one item, so if you can convince the consumer to buy a bundled pack you are persuading them to spend more money. It also works on the consumer’s side of things. Bundle packs should give discounts so that the pack is cheaper than buying all of the items individually would be. Therefore the customer is often tempted to buy a bundled pack if he thinks it is giving him a great deal.
Before customers check out, create a page to upsell them. You can create a script so customers can see what other items were bought with the items they currently have in their cart. There is a decent chance they will be interested in these extra items as well and add them to their cart.
Try bringing in new customers by using a referral program. You can reward customers you already have by giving them discounts or extra items if they refer their friends to your website. This increases your customers, and you never know whether the friend who was referred will refer friends themselves. The potential audience you can reach in this fashion is nearly unlimited.
You should consider creating a membership or subscription service on your business website. Charge for these services. Make sure the membership is really worth it for your customer and is actually premium content. Typically you will not want to charge membership fees just for a basic account on a website. This will just distance potential customers from you and they will go elsewhere. Remember, you want to sell yourself to them. Charging them for a basic service will leave them unimpressed.
Give a customer reasons to keep coming back. Reward people who have shopped at your website before. Some examples of rewards can be “frequent shopper” discounts. The customer will want to get these discounts and will shop more at your store to get them.
Finally, make sure the ordering system on your website is secure. Even in today’s day and age, some people are really uneasy about sharing their credit card information online. Make sure your site comes off as very legitimate and ensure that the site is secure. This will ease the customer’s mind so they are more likely to spend money.
