Utilize Email Marketing
Companies need to reach out to the most loyal customers regularly in order to build lasting relationships. Customers that are rewards members, email subscribers, and known for making purchases should all receive emails with rewards that are exclusive to them at least once a month.
Offer Time-Limited Sales
This gives customers a sense of urgency, which can increase their speed to purchase and increase your revenue.
Target Social Media Advertising
When running ads on FB, IG, TikTok or other platforms - make sure the ads are targeted towards people that are more likely to purchase products. This is different than running ads to gain followers or increase exposure. If your goal is to increase sales, then make your ads targeted at selling!
Get Geofencing
Location targeted ads are an exceptional solution to help businesses target potential clients when they are nearby your location (or a competitor location). Encouraging them to stop into your store or reinforce their need for your products/services.
Give Gifts
Every customer has someone on their list to shop for all year long. Whether it’s a birthday, Mother’s Day, Easter, Father’s Day, hostess gift, or the holiday season. Customers spend money on gifts all year long and often buy something for themselves along with the gift. Use this to your advantage by offering gift suggestions to help customers and increase sales.
