Energize Your Sales - Articles Surfing

Looking for ways to kick start and energize your sales? Here are a few proven ways you can Super-Charge Your Sales.

Turn your banner ad into a trivia question. Post the question on the banner and tell readers they can win a prize if they answer the question at your site.

Motivate people to buy your product. Tell them a lot of positive things like "You can now reach your goals and change your life if you buy our product".

Get your sales letters and web site evaluated for free. Visit business discussion boards and ask other discussion participants to evaluate them. You can also get your products or services evaluated for free. You can give your product for free in exchange for evaluations and even testimonials.

Keep your loyal customers happy because they are your future profits. Give them discounts and free gifts as often as possible.

Clone your advertisements all over the internet by allowing your visitors to give your online freebies away. Just include your ad somewhere inside it. Make it easy for your affiliates to make sales. Give them proven ads to use, make it easy for prospects to order and provide helpful affiliate stats.

Start your own internet radio station. Podcasting is becoming extremely popular with webmasters. It could be related to the theme of your web site and you could advertise your products over the station.

Persuade e-zine publishers or webmasters to run your ad for free. Just allow them to join your affiliate program and earn commission on the sales, and make your products sell quickly by adding a ton of bonuses. You could get the free bonuses for little or no cost by joint venturing with other businesses. Use free advertising as much as possible. Test a wide variety of free advertising options like banner and link exchanges, classifieds, newsgroups, etc.

Build a professional looking web site even if you have a small budget. You could use free graphics, designs, list servers, and other tools offered online. Enter to win awards for your web site. When you display the award graphics on your web site it will increase your credibility and professionalism. Test different web site color themes to see which combination will sell your product better. You can also test the size and style of your web site text. Test your web site regularly for ordering glitches, bad links, broken graphics, etc. Those types of errors will make your business look unprofessional.

Promise your readers an end result or outcome in your ad. You must give them a solid guarantee that your product will solve their problem. Never assume people believe the information in your ad copy. You need to back-up all your claims with indisputable evidence.

Give your customers free shipping. If you can't afford that, you can give free shipping to customers that buy over a certain dollar amount to raise profits.

Build credibility for your business by publishing an e-zine and writing articles. Your customers and prospects will see you as an expert and trust you. Answer all your e-mail messages as quickly as possible. Nothing will loose a sale quicker than not responding to a prospect in time.
