Free Upgrades

Offer your customers free upgrades or another complimentary product if they buy a pack of accessories. Or, offer a guaranteed trade-in price whenever they are ready to move up to the next model. You'll see more sales, and you'll be guaranteed that the customer will return for the upgrade. Even better, use no-cost upgrades to reward your best customers.

Hints and Tips:

1. Offer specials to encourage people to buy in bulk or take package deals.

2. Think long term. It may be viable to sacrifice a little margin now in order to ensure the customer's return in the future.

Socialize with Clients

Why not? Many of your clients are probably into the very same things that you are. It's likely you'll develop a strong bond with them. Just invite them out for dinner some time, or invite them to a big party at your place. People find it hard to change businesses after they've come to know the owner personally.

Hints and Tips:

1. Make friends with your customers.

2. Spend time with them away from the work environment.

3- Find out what they like to do and then organize such an activity.

4. Spend as much time as possible listening, as this will endear you to them.

5. Inviting them to your home can be a nice touch (just make sure you do the cleaning beforehand).
