How To Keep Your Sales SoaringWorrying that the economy or your industry in particular might be
slowing down? Forget about it. Build momentum and create your
own sales surge!
1. Maximize the effectiveness of your banner and other ads. Don't
just use the same ad on every page. Use a variety to attract the
greatest number of clicks.
2. Make your web site load much faster by cutting down on huge
banner ads and start using more buttons. Smaller button ads also
take up less space on the pages, leaving more room for
uncluttered white space.
3. Offer free advertising space to well known and respected
companies on your web site. Sometimes people link their business
credibility to yours.
4. People have been taught all their life to respect people in
authority. Let your visitors know that you are the president or
CEO of your business. Don’t be shy!
5. Offer people a free telephone consultation before they order
your product. When they get to know you personally, it could
convert to more sales.
6. Test the "bill me later option" on your web site. Most people
are honest and will pay you. It is a powerful little niche and
could increase your sales.
7. Find a charity your target audience would likely support. Team
up and share the news with your propects and clients in your ad
copy so that they know you are donating a percentage of the
profits to that charity. Learn more copywriting tips from
correspondence courses at American Writers and Artists Institute;

people each monthly winner will get their entire purchase
refunded. Try focusing on something special each month, too, like
new monthy ebooks from an affordable subscription site like
EbookWholesaler and PushButtonPublishing online here:
http://www.presssuccess.com/specialtyB.html9. Attract visitors to your web site by offering them a free
course. You could package the course on a follow-up
autoresponder and send lessons daily or weekly. Autoresponders
like those at ProfitAuto, come with a 30-day trial period and can be
upgraded. And some product subscriptions sites offer content that
you can break up to use as your courses. For more info, visit:

permission to include the information in an article. Then promote
your web site by submitting the article to ezines.
