Introducing Five Surefire Selling Techniques For Retail Success!
Your business can and should grow by at least 25% or more in the next six months or less, provided you will systematically embrace these five proven low cost, non techie retail selling techniques and strategies, that are about to be revealed to you.
Of course you’re going to have to inexpensively test and track your results in order to be maximize your long term growth.
Because remember, a staggering 95% of your would be major competitors do not (and will) not strategically test. They either don’t realize they should be or their simply to unmotivated to do it on any meaningful level.
Their indifference is your potential gain.
You Can Inexpensively Increase Your Retail Sales Without Throwing Away A Ton Of Money! ( Plus Build Some Serious Long Term Business Partnerships In The Process!
1.) Strategy # one: how many times have you seen a company discontinue a product by drastically reducing the price of the item or items? sound familiar?
Is it effective, to a point, but it’s not the best way to maximize long term profits from a discontinued product. For ex; what if you allowed one of your non competitive joint venture partners to use your (hopefully) higher priced discontinued product as part of a powerful lead generating free drawing.
Think about the long term potential benefits. You can only sell (at a dramaticaaly discounted price) only once. On the other hand, by allowing your joint venture partner to use the discounted product as part of a free drawing.
You can build a list of potential long term customers and clients for peanuts. Especially if they run the free drawing for 60-90 days.
You’ll both get the list of names,and be able to strategically follow up over time. Which means you may (over time) be able to continuously sell them other more expensive products and services for many years to come.
Plus, benefit from their testimonials and referrals as well.
2.) Strategy # two: This one (while) rather obvious, will never occur to your major competitors. It’s a piggyback off # one. Instead of using this powerful low cost proven list building strategy with just one non competing small business owner and or service provider.
What if instead of just using one discontinued product in a free drawing to strategically grow your list, you used five. Meaning- you allowed five other small business joint venture partners to strategically use your discontinued items in an (in store) free drawing to grow both of lists.
Piggybacking A Successful Market Tested Strategy Is a Surefire Path To long success!
3.) Strategy # three: This next powerful strategy also piggybacks off strategy # one. Get your best JV partners to find at least five other small business owners and or service providers that can do this example same strategy with.
And you offer one of your best market tested “New customers only” special VIP discount coupons as one of the runner up free prizes valued at X.
Once again, you’ll be in the position to easily acquire new potentially long term customers and clients for pennies on the dollar.
4.) Strategy # four: This particular low cost high powered marketing strategy is often referred to as “situational marketing.”
And just like the name implies, you 9or your major competitors) strategically take advantage of under utilized selling opportunities. Here are just two potential untapped selling opportunities.
Note: Try to see how your business can best apply the overall concept to your specific business, product or service, as opposed to just seeing the specific strategy.
A.) Untapped situational marketing opportunity # one: Anytime your local movie theater sells tickets to movie goers with kids. You need to start strategically (inexpensively testing) various special VIP discount coupons (that targets kids) that you offer to the movie goers as a valuable free bonus in exchange for them upselling to one of your best market tested multiple movie pass packages.
B.) Here’s the other untapped “situational marketing” selling opportunity. Your average (struggling) list broker, has no idea how to effectively market products or services.
Here’s where you come in, (if you don’t) currently have a free problem solving information product that targets a certain segment of their customer base. Create one asap!
And allow them to give it away as a free upsell bonus valued at X, to their best customers that (either) spend a certain amount of money or that purchase some type of list within X amount of days of the list brokers initial contact with them.
And of course, they get to keep the powerful bonuses, even if they decide to ask the list broker for a refund.
5.) Strategy # five: Who hasn’t heard that joint venture and or affiliate marketing isn’t powerful? It’s inexpensive and (when done properly) it can be extremely profitable for a fraction of the traditional upfront out of pocket cost.
This particular type of joint venture is easy to do, it’s called (email list) swapping. And just as the name implies. You find another small business owner and or service provider (with) a similar sized email list and the two of you simply email your best market tested offer to each others list.
Try not to approach potential JV partners whose email list is several times larger than yours. because more than likely, they’ll decline your offer.
Well, in a nutshell, there you have it. Five incredibly powerful, battlefield tested selling techniques for retail success.No matter what your particular niche is.
