There is one and only major concern fore every human being
that runs a business - how to make more sales. The traditional way is simple -
by attracting new customers, However, what is not so simple is the way to
attract them. But this is why we are here. We'll show you the way. Even more,
we'll show you 10 ways:
1. Giveaway - truth is, people like free stuff, even if it's
not something they need, because it is completely normal to be scared of wrong
costs. But when there is no cost at all we are ready to get certain things. The
appetite comes with eating. Giveaway samples of your product or make your
service free for a short period of time. Let your potential customers try your
product and service and soon enough they will become real customers;
2. Create and event - socially oriented events (with topical
cause) are always a place where potential customers and sponsors can get to
know you, your business and your products or services;
3. Expand your market - there are a lot of ways to expand
your business and reach new clients, geographically speaking. The most obvious
one is by opening an office or store in new cities, or even virtually - online
stores are a great way to reach new customers, especially if your business is
local only. Franchising is also a way - if your business allows for you to create
a system for its successful replication, maybe it is time to turn your head
towards this type of expansion;
4. Organize a competition - a competition with a big prize
is always something interesting for potential customers (and current ones). Create
a competition that is easy to participate in and everyone can follow the rules
and put a big prize - a free product or service of yours. After the end of it,
contact the people that took part but didn't win the grand prize and make them
an offer with a discount. New customers guaranteed;
5. Be social - like it or not, people use social medias to
communicate with one another. So, it is not a surprise that there is the place
to search for new customers. But only being there is not a job well done,
because you need to be active. Share content, post pictures and videos, ask
questions, communicate with your fans/followers and most important of all -
give them the information they need and help them when they have a problem that
concerns you. Because social networks are not only a great marketing tool, they
are also the perfect place to provide a good customer service.
