How To Keep Your Sales Soaring
Copyright © 2005, Diana Barnum

Worrying that the economy or your industry in particular might be
slowing down? Forget about it. Build momentum and create your own
sales surge!
1. Maximize the effectiveness of your banner and other ads. Don't
just use the same ad on every page. Use a variety to attract the
greatest number of clicks.
2. Make your web site load much faster by cutting down on huge
banner ads and start using more buttons. Smaller button ads also
take up less space on the pages, leaving more room for
uncluttered white space.
3. Offer free advertising space to well known and respected
companies on your web site. Sometimes people link their business
credibility to yours.
4. People have been taught all their life to respect people in
authority. Let your visitors know that you are the president or
CEO of your business. Don’t be shy!
5. Offer people a free telephone consultation before they order
your product. When they get to know you personally, it could
convert to more sales.
6. Test the "bill me later option" on your web site. Most people
are honest and will pay you. It is a powerful little niche and
could increase your sales.
7. Find a charity your target audience would likely support.
Team up and share the news with your propects and clients in
your ad copy so that they know you are donating a percentage
of the profits to that charity. Learn more copywriting tips
from correspondence courses at American Writers and Artists
Institute; then get some help putting what you learn to use:

8. Hold a "buy the most wins contest" on your web site. Tell
people each monthly winner will get their entire purchase
refunded. Try focusing on something special each month, too,
like new monthy ebooks from an affordable subscription site
like EbookWholesaler and PushButtonPublishing online here:
http://www.presssuccess.com/specialtyB.html
9. Attract visitors to your web site by offering them a free
course. You could package the course on a follow-up autoresponder
and send lessons daily or weekly. Autoresponders like those at
ProfitAuto, come with a 30-day trial period and can be upgraded.
And some product subscriptions sites offer content that you can
break up to use as your courses. For more info, visit:
http://www.presssuccess.com/specialtyB.html and check out the
Secret Autoresponder Courses here for your business tool belt:

10. Interview people related to your industry and get their
permission to include the information in an article. Then
promote your web site by submitting the article to ezines.
No need to go it alone, either. There is affordable help along
the way. Take your cyber-tour today and check out the Work
Stations at: http://www.movingaheadcommunications.com . And
you’ll find that help is as simple as ABC!

Article Marketing Tips:
| |
|
- Stand out from the crowds. Educate your prospects and they will turn to you for more knowledge. When they turn to you for more, they will visit your website. It is up to your website copy to sell your products, NOT your article. Provide great information and at your website, address how the prospect will benefit from what you are offering. Using these things in conjuction will help your cash register to ring.
