Five Successful Marketing Techniques


Five successful marketing techniques you can use to increase your sales. These are simple to use. And they're helpful for building any businesses.


1. Keep Adding Something New


Every time you add something new to your business you create an opportunity to get more sales.
The added product increases your sales in 3 different ways:
• It attracts new customers who were not interested in your current products and services.
• It generates repeat sales from existing customers who also want to have your new product.
• It enables you to get bigger sales by combining 2 or more items into special package offers.

2. Become a Valuable Resource

Look for ways you can be a resource for your prospects and customers. Supply them with free information. Help them do things faster, easier, less expensively. You get another opportunity to sell something every time they come back to you for help.

3. Separate Yourself from Your Competition

Find a reason for customers to do business with you instead of with someone else offering the same or similar products. Determine the unique benefit you offer to customers that your competitors do not offer. Promote that advantage in all of your advertising.

4. Promote the End Result

Your customers want the benefit produced by using it. Make sure your web pages, sales letters and other sales messages are promoting the end result your customers want.

5. Anticipate Change

Change is the major challenge to your business success. Aggressive, innovative competitors and rapidly changing technology make it impossible. Expect change and prepare for it. Don't wait until your income declines to take action. Develop the habit of looking for early signs that something is changing. Then confront it before you start to lose business.
