Offer your customers discounts

The key to a good online ecommerce is by offering specials and discounts . Celebrate certain days and public holidays by running specials on that day. For example if your local town had a public holiday on the royal show day name a discount for that day. Have season specials. Spring Sales, winter Sales etc… if you offer variations in your pricing structure throughout the year customers are more inclined to opt in to your mailing list.

Offer discounts to customers who already bougth products or services from you.
Make a system where your's frequent customers will have more discounts then the non so frequent ones!

i kinda agree, but the real secret to success for this still largely depends on what type of products or services you're offering...

offer something really nice, and kill off competitors with some really great discount rates and such

survey survey and survey,
find out what they want before you blindly assume what they want

most beginners make mistake by anticipating and assuming wht others want, where they should just spend the effort doing effective surveys

that way, it's not another just do it and hope and pray for a miracle to happen rite

Any discounts and promo offers are appealing to consumers especially if you give more rewarding offers to loyal costumers. They would be very grateful. Yet, this fad of promos and discounts create some mentality that if a particular enterprise offers promotion people are mushrooming to such site. Yet, if the trade is so plain without any free stuff or discounts, do some survey to confirm my claim that sales are relatively bad.

Certainly , like if you are making good profits then giving the discount out of those profits to he customer really helps in buliding a more customer base and sales certaily go up . discounts , like you can give some free stuff along with , or you can give some percent of the price off .It works both ways as both are welcomed by the customer .
