Upsell Strategies For The Internet Based Home Business
Hello, Warriors: (Also posted at GT Bulmer Web Bizz Blog)
If you are like most Internet Marketers, your aim is to get more money out of every sale. It’s challenging to get customers, so you want to make the best of every selling opportunity.
By the same token, every customer wants the best value for the lowest price. That’s quite likely why they were attracted to your offer in the first place: it was the product or service they wanted at a price they felt comfortable with.
However, since value is sometimes more important than price, this gives you the opportunity to offer your prospect something that may cost a little more, but provides better quality or additional features. This is called “upselling.” You attract the prospect with your best deal, then present them with alternatives before they make the buying decision.
Upselling happens all of the time in all industries. It happens in real estate and auto sales. It happens with electronics, appliances and furniture. It happens with footwear and clothing. It happens in restaurants, hotels and with vacation packages. Upselling can also be put to good use in the Internet based home business.
Here are a few suggested upsell strategies I’ve picked out from my Home Internet Business Tips Newsletter:
1. Deluxe Upsell: This is the standard example. You offer a basic product, then for a little more money, they can get the deluxe edition with enhanced features.
2. Money Upsell: This is popular in Internet Marketing. Customers who buy your product can be offered the rights to resell the product. You could charge an extra fee for the reproduction or resell rights.
3. Discount Upsell: If you are selling a consumable product, something the customer may purchase again at a future date, you could offer them a second one at a discounted price if they buy it now.
4. Free Upsell: You could offer the basic or “economy” model as a free sample or trial then tell people if they order the full or “deluxe” version right now they will get a discount.
5. Package Upsell: Offer your prospects a package deal. When they come looking for the product advertised, also offer it in a package with other similar products. Point out the fact that each of the products is cheaper in the package than if they were purchased separately.
These are just a few possible upsell strategies for the internet based home business. You can use them or adapt them any way you want for your own web biz products, programs and services.
