100+ Tips and Ideas To Increase Sales For Your Small Business

As a small business owner, your growth and success are dependent on closing sales. This is irrespective of whether you run a brick-and-mortar enterprise in a small town or you provide digital services online.

The ‘slow but sure’ idiom is a piece of wisdom from the ancients. But as an upcoming entrepreneur, you don’t have the luxury of time. The competition in any market niche is becoming stiffer and stiffer every day. So waiting for customers to recognize and buy your products may only prove detrimental to your business despite your product or service quality.

“What then should I do to boost my sales?” I know you ask.  Here are the 100+ tips and ideas that will help you leverage your sales for both current customers and prospects.

1. Identify Your Customer

A clear definition of your customer is one of the biggest strides toward blossoming sales results.

The following questions can help you to identify your target client. Who is most likely to purchase your product immediately? How much do they earn? Are they literate or illiterate? What are their ages and gender?

A customer avatar will help develop specific marketing tools!

2. Precisely define the problem

If you can distinctly identify the problems your customers have and develop solutions, you will be shocked at how much they are willing to pay. And the converse is also true.

Notably, digging out the problems may be tricky in cases where they are not obvious but it is even worse if the customer perceives the problem as non-existent. The latter will cause them not to buy your product that is intended to be an answer to their need.

3. Outline The Benefits

Every product or service you provide must have a substantial value attached to it. People do not necessarily buy a product because it looks good but they buy the benefits. Consequently, the sales you make will largely depend on how well you can point out the product or service benefits to your clients.

4. Enhance Your Competitive Advantage

Most probably you are not the only vendor selling that product or offering services. So why should your customers buy from you and not your competitor?

If you can provide benefits or advantages that your customers will not receive if they choose to buy the product from somewhere else, be ready for a sales burst. An advantage can be as simple as better customer care or as important as product quality.

5. Group Your Customers

It is a tragedy when you treat both regular and seasonal clients the same. There must be a clear-cut difference between the value you place on your everyday customer and any other buyer. Otherwise, customer loyalty will be unheard-of vocabulary in your business.

Something as simple as a warm greeting mentioning the name of your client is what may keep them coming back. You can also offer discounts to your regulars.

6. Come Up with A Reward Program for Your Customers

While customer reward programs are primarily associated with large and established businesses, it is not a forbidden practice for small enterprises. For your small business, it may entail budget-friendly things like offering limited discounts or gift cards to your regular customers on special occasions such as their birthdays and anniversary.

With the appropriate execution, such programs enhance customer loyalty which is key in increasing sales.

7. Inside Scoop for Your Clients

Are you having a promotion, clearance sale, or an organized event coming up? Let your repeat customers be the first to know. Explore any available channel to let this message reach them using either mail, call, or even social media platforms. 

This informs your clients of your goodwill and who knows whether they will come back with friends who will also keep the cycle moving!

8. Have a good grasp of the basics

The basics of a business such as answering a call or sending emails should be at your fingertips. Always start by introducing your company, the one speaking and asking how you can help whenever you answer a phone. For emails, remember to include the business name and logo if available.

Remain polite in your tone no matter the attitude of the one on the end.

9. Set The Right Price for Your Product

Research on your competitors’ current pricing can help you determine a fair charge rate for your good or service. If you are going to sell a product at a higher cost, then this must be justified by unmatched premium quality to ensure customer satisfaction.

If customers are satisfied with your product quality and price, they are more likely to buy from you.

10. Try cold calling

As a small business owner with a new product, the real hurdle is in getting attention for your product in the flooded market. And the only way out may be cold calling which is often an uphill task.

Whether you do it over the phone, by email, or in person, it is a good way of developing prospects’ interest in that particular item. Sooner or later, they will be buyers.

11. Acquire the Necessary Negotiation Skills

The likelihood of success in selling your products at a fixed price like Amazon is low for a small business. It implies that frequently, customers would put up a bargain depending on their needs.

For you to settle on a favorable price for both parties, called a ‘win-win’ situation, you need proper negotiation techniques.

Some of the features of a good negotiator that will help increase sales include patience, the ability to pick out the buyer’s specific needs, and overall well-preparedness.

12. Give Free Samples

Before prospects decide on buying your product, they would like to receive the assurance that what they are about to spend on is worthwhile. That is why if you can afford free samples, distribute them randomly to your ideal customers for a tryout.

Great content will get the customers excited and expectant of the real deal which translates to better sales performance.

13. Research your potential competitors

A thorough analysis of your competitors including the quality of products they offer and their general performance helps you to identify their strengths and weaknesses.

Based on your findings, you can develop new techniques and ways of outdoing them. Outperforming your competitors pushes your sales to another level.

14. Focus on innovation and produce unique products

How do customers feel after purchasing your product or receiving your services? If a buyer can’t be fully satisfied with your product or does not see the difference between you and another seller, it is quite unlikely that they will come back.

With an innovative approach, you can produce unique and premium quality products or services that will make customers prefer your business to others.

15. Develop a culture of value in your business

Developing a value culture in your small enterprise will attract new prospects and also retain existing customers. The result is a broader customer base and more sales.

You can cultivate value by training your staff and also trading in genuine products with good value.

16. Employ a good customer service approach

Whenever a client needs attention from your business, they should get it without much struggle.  Whether they are lodging a complaint or making an inquiry, they should be treated in a way that makes them feel appreciated and important to the existence of the business

17. Build authentic customer relations

The best prospects for your business are the existing customers. With a mind of boosting sales, you should therefore focus on retaining repeat clients and keeping them satisfied.

Strong customer relationships built on trust, genuineness, and respect will go a long way in retaining any customer who purchases your product or service.

18. Carry out promotions regularly

Promotion is one of the most effective ways of unveiling your product or services. Discounts, for instance, give the prospects an avenue to try your products and possibly become customers. Promotions also encourage customer consistency.

19. Prove your product’s credibility

Customers will feel more comfortable purchasing from you when they have proof of the credibility of your product or service. Advertisements and user testimonials are some of the ways to prove your credibility and win more clients.

20. Provide a customer feedback platform

Asking for customer feedback and implementing their views whenever necessary is key in increasing client satisfaction. You can also seek to help in more specific ways by providing tailor-made solutions if possible.

As this bolsters your customer relationship, it also gives you an avenue of expanding your business and being more relevant in the lives of your clients. The result will be a shoot-up in sales.

21. Study the behavior of repeat buyers

Having in-depth knowledge of how customers interact with your product saves you the pain of losing clients. If you discover that a majority prefer your product because of a particular feature, maximize this strength by making it even better. Also, check out for aspects they don’t like then do an upgrade.

22. Partner with other industry players

Did you know other businesses can be the source of your growth? Now consider it. At the very least, connection with other industry players will generate referrals for your business. You can also make partnership deals to provide unique packages that will attract more customers for both parties.

This is more effective when you team up with businesses in different niches within the same industry.

23. Create unique packages or bundles

If you are providing more than one service or product, you can bundle up the items into a unique package.  This enables the customer to get rid of those things in the To-do list in a simple manner without as much as they would on individual products.

24.  Appreciate your customers by sending them ‘Thank You cards

28. Carry your business cards always
