Higher Profits by Marketing Smarter
 

Your Offer

  19. Make an irresistible offer.
    Stating your price isn't provocative enough. An offer is saying, "you do this for me, and I'll do this for you." Make a deal. Slash your price. Throw in something extra.
     
  20. Present a choice of offers.
    People like choices. Give them more than one way to say " Yes" to your offer. Instead of the classic Yes/No offer, give them a " Yes/Yes" offer or even a "Yes/Yes/Yes" offer.
     
  21. Structure your offer as a bargain.
    If your product retails for $59.00, offer it for $39.00. Stress that this is a 34% savings, Show it's a saving of $20.00. Then throw in a free premium on top of your already great offer. Your offer should be impossible to turn down.
     
  22. Offer a choice of payment.
     
  23. Raise your selling price by adding value.
    Use language, design, and price to make your product appear more valuable.
     
  24. Create urgency with a time limit.
    The faster you force a decision, the more likely that decision will be in your favor. Put a firm time limit on your offer, force a quick reply, and your sales will usually go up.
     
  25. Create greater urgency by offering an " Early Bird" rate.
    Instead of punishing late responders, reward early responders. The early bird offer must be a compelling and significant savings.
     
  26. Offer similar products as a low-priced package.
    People love to buy sets of items these days. " Packaging" makes your offer more exciting and helps you move more merchandise faster.
     
  27. Resurrect old products and sell them at a discount.
