Increase Sales Conversion: Helpful Advice
In sales, it's often said that amateurs think in terms of new sales while pros think about existing ones. Naturally, new sales are vitally important to a business, but don't underestimate the role that existing -- that is, proven -- customers can have on the proverbial bottom line! Unless you're just selling snake oil (in which case you're only relying on Barnum's dictum about there being one born every minute -- which is not an especially viable long-term strategy), it's the happy customers who would likely prove decisive.
Think about it. Happy customers are most likely to buy from you again - repeat sales. These people are also likely to purchase even more the next time, especially if you get creative with customer loyalty award programs, volume discounting, and the like. Perhaps best of all, existing, proven, repeat customers can help generate word-of-mouth - that's free advertising, of the best kind: unsolicited, personal, and from a trusted source. Focus on your customer base, in other words, to stimulate your own economic growth!
Many merchants fail to appreciate what they can do for their existing customers. It often involves something quite simple, such as accepting credit card payments. It's a simple gesture that's appreciated greatly in our increasingly digital, wired age. With a credit card processing account, your business is able to indulge both existing and potential customers simulataneously! Offering the ability to pay by credit card is typically perceived by consumers as adding to their convenience and a sign of your thoughtfulness. After all, who would you choose to do business with, all else being equal: someone who makes your life easier, or someone who requires you to go through a whole process just to be paid by you? Sounds ridiculous, right?
But it gets even worse than that! Since you're reading this advice on the internet, it's almost guaranteed that you are a business owner either with an online presence or seriously contemplating one. Yet did you know that there actually are e-tailers who do not offer a way to pay electronically! This being the 21st Century, it would seem like a sign of laziness - or worse - for an internet merchant to appear not fully conversant in internet technologies! Moreover, the ease-of-use associated with online credit card payment options encourages impulse buying. It's a documented fact that credit cards encourage greater spending than does cash that has to be diligently (and reluctantly!) counted out first. A web business that doesn't offer the option to pay with a credit card is really just driving itself out of business.
After all, are you really going to wait for that check in the mail?
