Sales are considered one of the basic things in a business. We cannot survive without air. In the same manner, any business cannot survive without proper flow of sales. Sales bring revenue. This is why it is crucial to have a proper sales of products or survives in the business in order to make business more profitable. Unfortunately, this is the hardest part in any kind of business. I think sales could be boosted if we prepare a great strategy. One of the key ways to improve sales is by using some sort of innovative ideas. This is how many businesses in the world gained success.

I think that one of the key aspect of increasing sales is by promoting your product with other products. What I actually mean is that you may create a contract with other companies so that they could also promote your product with theirs. This is a great business idea. Of course they will not promote your product for free. Why would anyone do that? This is why you may offer them incentives so that they could also bring you benefits. This is a really effective idea to get your product promoted. What do you think?

It's very important to have a sales strategy even before making the product. As you suggested, one such way to do so is promoting your product with that of others.

I've seen it done differently, in that you create a main product, then you think of problems that your users will face when using it and you create mini products around these solutions. These you offer as free 'gifts' when they purchase what you sell.

This works well for digital products and can be applied for physical goods too, in my opinion.

You can also use it as a strategy to outwit your competition and get their customers to come to you instead.

The success of a business depends on its sales. The more sales a business makes, the better it performs. This is why every business owner wants to know how to increase sales. But not many people can answer this question correctly. Some believe that increasing sales is about cutting down costs and being aggressive in your marketing efforts, while others believe that it’s all about being innovative and finding new ways to sell products. But neither of these methods will work if you don’t have the right mindset. The first step before you even start brainstorming ways in which to increase sales is to determine your target.

The next idea is to create a loyalty program for your customers. This can be done in various ways, like rewarding customers for their purchases, or offering discounts for repeat customers. Offering loyalty programs creates a sense of appreciation among customers, as well as rewards them for being loyal clients. It’s an excellent way to build relationships with clients and keep them coming back.
You can even send them goodwill messages or season greetings during festive period. This will show you care about them. This in turn reminds them you have a store they need to visit and a product they need to buy from you.

Making use of the internet is also a great way to increase sales as well. We are in a generation where almost everyone has access to the internet. To create more sales it would be best to create an online presence for yourself.

You need a good marketing campaign to improve the sales. The marketing campaign is to gain new customers with the promotion of the business or a particular product. For small businesses I can see the posts in social media that I think are gaining ground with the objective. The latest product is the solar lamp that based on the comments so many have ordered and some have received their orders already. It is a paid ad in Facebook which I think is very effective when the product "looks" good and the price is affordable - that's 4 lamps for only $10. That is the advantage of the internet. We can do the marketing in front of the computer. There is no need to go out and go from place to place in promoting the business.

There are a lot of business strategies that can be used to improve sales. No matter how good your product is, you need to make it known to people if not there is no way you can make sale. the advent of the internet and social media has even made it very easy for people to market their products and make a whole lot of sales without spending much amount of money. It was even more difficult before to make your product known to people and you will definitely spend a whole lot of money doing that on different TV stations and newspapers but today the reverse is the case. With the help of social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram you will not spend much money promoting your product. You can also start a blog about the product you are promoting or your business and there is a high chance that people will visit it.
Even though, it is very good and important that people use various platforms to promote a product but if the product is not of a good quality, then you may not really retain your customers. So another good way of making your product successful is to produce a quality one.

To increase the sales of your product or service you need to understand your audience and how they perceive your product, this can be done by doing focus groups research, showing different ads to and see which one your customers clicks with.

Or targeting individuals directly and interacting with them, you can create a sales funnel that gets you leads and then take them to your landing page and collect their numbers or phone numbers, then call them up and sell them the product, this is more organic.

But if a product is not making sales, it's a suicide mission to increase the advertisement budget because it's a clear indication that the product doesn't have potential, it's better to assess it with the above strategies and see if you're good to go.

You can also test out different platforms if the one you're using is not delivering the result you want, there are many ads platforms nowadays.

You should also assess the way you handle your customers, sometimes the problem might be coming from your own side, customers are king in any kind of business and if they're not getting satisfaction then your product will be as good as dead.

This depends on so many things that will determine this and the nature of the products you are selling , for example if you are interested in promoting and selling of offline product or a physical commodities there are different ways you can use to attract more buyers into your products and one of the most effective ways is branding.

Here you make your products to be uniquely attractive from what others are doing , with this a lot of people are likely to notice your products when there are thousands of options to make from.

Although this might require a lot of money for you to brand a whole dozens of products and sometimes million ,, if you do not have the money to engage in that then it is rather advisable that you engage in serious digital advertisements , this will have your product exposed to so many people that might really be interested in them.

In most cases you may not even need a good marketing and advertising strategy to succeed but just your ability to give out the type of products that people can use and sees the results on their own, this type of products are always on high demands as long as they are legit.

Improving sales of any business venture is one of the major concern of any business owner. As we all know that the major motive of all business organization is to make profit and that can only be achieved when there is sales. Hence every business person put in all their effort to see that objective achieved but unfortunately not all of them are getting it right.


For one to win the heart of the customers is for us to be customer friendly a d for us to build a very healthy relationship with our customers, the secret behind this is that when we are friendly with one customer today, that same customer will Inform others of their experience in our business organization and by so doing we customers will begin to increase and before we k ow it our business name will continue to spread.


Again we should always have regards for our customers no matter how little they are buying from us we should keep up a smiling face. This will give them a sense of belonging. They we should also try as much as possible to go the extra mile to enquire from them to know if they really benefited from our services.

You are absolutely right , sales is important for a business to survive and in fact a business who doesn't make sales is considered to be unhealthy and prone to shut down , liquidate or go bankrupt anytime . In order to avoid this some external and internal factors should be put into proper consideration . Some factors to consider include :

* Quality of the goods sold : most business owners are dishonest , persuasive , greedy etc . They are only concerned with their customers or clients income rather than selling and performing great and quality goods and services . Customers and clients after realising that they are being robbed of their money by buying fake and low quality products they become disappointed and might never patronize the same business outlet anyone , this in turn reduces the business owners potential of making sales .

* Customer service : some business organisation have low and poor customer service , some of them even argue , embarrass , and are impolite toward their customers . These actions have devastating effect on the business possibility to make sales . Business owners must understand that " the customer is always right " even though this statement is not actually true but yet they must apply this in your business if they want to make sales .
