Whether you are in a retail environment, a virtual 'E' environment, selling products or services, every business has the same goal: Sales. The tips in this article will help to convert virtual window shoppers into paying customers. By Jeremy Lawrence Whether you are in a retail environment, a virtual 'E' environment, selling products or services, every business has the same goal: Sales. From antiques to pets to E-books or astrology readings, the lifeblood of getting sales also comes from the same source: customers. A customer is anyone who happens to walk into your store or enter your website. Learning how to turn customers into sales, hopefully over and over again, is the goal of virtually every business. In this article, I will outline 10 ways to turn customers into sales. These strategies can be used on both new and existing customers. 1. When you make your first sale, follow up with the customer. You can follow up with a 'thank you' email and include an advertisement for other products you sell. You should also follow up every few months. 2. You can upsell to your customers. When they're at your order page, tell them about a few extra related products you have for sale. They might just add it to their original order. 3. Tell your customers that if they refer four customers to your website, they will receive a full rebate of their purchase price. This will turn one sale into three sales. 4. When you sell a product, give your customers the option of joining an affiliate program so that they can make commissions selling your product. This will multiply the sale you just made. 5. Sell the reprint/reproduction rights to your products. You can include an ad on or with the product for other products you sell. You can create sales for the reproduction rights and sales on the back end product. 6. You can cross promote your product with other businesses' products in a package deal. You can include an ad or flyer for other products you sell, and have other businesses selling for you. 7. When you ship out or deliver your product, include a coupon for other related products you sell in the package. This will encourage customers to buy more products from you. 8. Send your customers a catalog of add-on products for the original product they purchased. This could be upgrades, special services, attachments, etc. If they enjoy your product, they will buy the extra add-ons. 9. Sell gift certificates for your products. You'll make sales when the recipient cashes it in. The customer might also buy other items from your web site. 10. Send your customers free products with their product package. The freebies should have your ad printed on them. It could be bumper stickers, ball caps, T-shirts, etc. This will allow other people to see your ad and order.
