I would like to cover a number of strategies that would help every small business owner to make more money during this hot shopping season.

• “The money back guarantee” is the most powerful marketing decision that helps reducing requests for refunds and increase your sales, especially if you sell ebooks

• Set up an affiliate program or referral program and let your existing customers to bring you more sales! here is an example:

• conduct surveys to find qualified leads. If you are in lead generation business, surveys, in fact, the most powerful tool for you. You can offer a reward for those who fill out and return your survey, but usually people like to give their opinions about things. Lucky us, these days there is no need to send out “a well crafted” letter and survey, on most forums you add the “poll” option to your thread and you are done!

• Offer a free report. First of all, there is a magic word here - “free”:). The main goal is to capture email addresses of people who are interested in something like your product/services. We all know, that you can’t sell without the right list. Don’t rent your list to others as it is your most valuable asset.

• Start a “dialogue” with your customers by sending direct mail, and take every step to make it look and feel personal. Here is a little secret: the longer you hold your reader’s attention, the more sales you will generate. Present arguments, give them interesting facts and reasons so that they got emotional. You can’t sell by boring your reader.

• I want you to add your best way to increase sales, leave it in the commenting are and I’ll follow! It’s that simple: you comment, I follow::))
