How To Increase Your Sales Overnight

[Dale King]

Question: When is the best time to sell your customer additional products?

Answer: Immediately after they've just made a purchase.

That's right. The best time to sell your customers additional products is immediately after they've made a purchase. Why? Because they're still in a buying mode. They're still happy and excited about their purchase. More importantly, they still have their credit cards out. What better time to sell them something else?

A lot of marketers send their customers to a 'thank you" page immediately after the sale. Let me ask you a question. Why would you invite your customers to leave your website, after they've just made a purchase? See my point? Why not offer them quick and easy add-ons to the original purchase?

For example, perhaps you have some out-dated or less popular items you'd like to get rid of. Why not offer them to your customers at a discount? They'll appreciate the gesture. Don't get me wrong. A nice, courteous thank you page is fine. But a page that offers your customers value at a discount is even better!

Are any of you guys offering your customers additional items immediately after the sale?

yeah definitelely. I learned this during my summer stint in door-to-door business-to-business sales. The art of the rehash.

Do you want fries with that?
Do you want to supersize that?
Do you want an apple pie with that?

Rehash, because it's easier and more efficient to get more money from less customers.

Excellent example with the fast food idea. It is called an Up Sell, and I do that alot in my biz. All you really have to do is make their purchase an outstanding one, and they will come back for more. Customer Service is lacking these days, so take advantage of it.
