Simple Ideas To Increase Sales Now!
Isn’t funny, how you can manage to over complicate, proven common sense sort of marketing strategies?
1.) Proven marketing strategy # one: If you happen to market primarily online; please be sure that your final check out process (for the most part) is fairly easy. Otherwise, you simply end up (like) a staggering 67% of all online marketers, that use some type of paid shopping cart system.
My friend, it will simply be abandoned, with no sale taking place! That’s correct, a staggering 67% of all shopping carts online, get abandoned for any number valid or invalid reasons!
And you can bet, one of the biggest reasons is, your final check out process is (either) too confusing and or too time consuming! Of course it’s fairly simple to correct!
2.) Proven marketing strategy # two: Say you own a nice, local Mom & Pop family orientated restaurant. Here’s a simple A/B split test you could run, in order to discover which variation of this powerful, mega proven marketing concept works best.
A.) Split test A: Start out testing this proven concept on your traditional slowest day/night of the week, and put every paying customers name into a free drawing (no matter) if they came in alone or if they arrived with a party of twenty five!
Choose one person/party and their entire meal, plus deserts and beverages are on the house! In others, they get everything free! Your obvious upfront out of pocket cost is no different than paying for outrageously expensive, traditional advertising!
Your grand prize winner, will (of course) absolutely love it! And immediately spread the word, the moment they get back to their immediate circle of influence! Or they may tweet about it right then and there, plus head over to Facebook!
Give every body else that entered, special VIP discount coupons, that can only be used to save anywhere from 10-25% off any deserts, but only on your traditional slowest day/nights!
Plus, every time they come to your restaurant on your slowest day/nights, and they bring any new first time customer over 18. They automatically get the higher savings of 25% off the cost of any desert and their name automatically goes into that day/nights weekly free drawing, an additional time!
B.) Split test B: Your other split test is; you only offer the aforementioned perks, if they spend over $25 dollars (and or X amount.) Test and track your results, your best repeat customers behavior will ultimately point you in the right direction.
