First, you should decide what your sales target is. It is best to start with the final idea so that you can go back to the products you need, how you will distribute them, and calculate your estimated return on investment. As they say, anything that can be measured can be managed.
In this post, we'll give you 2 ways to use promotional products to drive sales. You'll learn the art of using products to generate leads, initiate quality sales conversations and win new customers to increase your business. We'll also give you some examples to demonstrate how it all works!
The silver bullet to boosting sales is having a great product and a nice relationship with your customers. Personalization is one way of improving customer relationships by making customers feel special.
You instantly make the foundation for establishing a good relationship with your customers by customizing products,. You wow your customers by showing them you care. This strategy is particularly useful for bigger ticket sales, where the lifetime value of a customer is large enough to offset the cost of personalizing the products you give.
Another effective way to directly promote sales with products is to create different levels of promotional products. You can have cheaper, free, and easily distributed products at the bottom, and more expensive, high-quality products at the top.
Make sure your quality promotional products are highly attractive to your customers. You want them to get excited about it! When customers buy your actual product, you can entice them to buy your actual product by adding extra products as freebies.
Interestingly, there are products that customers don't always want to buy, but they have to buy. Think drugs or car lubricants. These aren't the products you like to talk about, but if you get a reward for buying them, you get an external incentive to buy them.
Use branded promotional products as a way to motivate referrals, which is a good strategy to reward referrals to partners, and create repeat referrals to continue to drive your business sales.
